So I have a bunch of headlamps and was seduced by Petzl to try out the Aria.
It's not a bad light at all. I tested it out walking to where I fish and it wasn't terrible, I know a lot of people complain about big box store (I got mine @ Cabelas) lights. But for $120 including 2 spare rechargeable batteries I think I did ok.
I'm gonna keep it for friends I bring night fishing with me. Or if something happens to my main light.
I'll make this as simple of a call for help as possible.
Budget: no more than $300 cad and I'd like that include a battery or two.
Light requirements: RED LIGHT IS A MUST. and I need to walk to and from my truck in the woods at night to where I fish. I was watching some you tube videos along with field tests and it seems in reality I would do well with 600 lumens for walking back to my truck and 300-400 lumen for work like tying knots etc. I know this bc the petzl is like 300 lumens and it's perfect for close up work in the dark. But my led Lenser and perun2 from OLight are nicer to walk around obstacles.
Battery requirements: I don't care if it's a magnetic charger or a usb charger, just let me be able to change the batteries if I need to.
I will be wearing it for extended periods of time. So the lighter the better. See my problem is I love the perun from OLight but it's honestly a no-go bc I can't just pop in a new battery. Oh and it has to be IP67 Atleast. Torrential rain bursts and mud are common.
With your help you will make my fishing season this much more enjoyable. So thank you in advance.
