Hello all,
ultra-lightweight hiker here, glad to be here :thumbsup:
I already have
but I want to know if there are lights lighter (!) than the Zebralight with backup battery and maybe the same run time.
I found these questions in another thread so I copied them here.
Thanks for all suggestions.
ultra-lightweight hiker here, glad to be here :thumbsup:
I already have
- Fenix L2D + 2 backup batteries: 177 g
- Zebralight H50-Q5 + backup battery: 103 g
- Fenix P1D + backup battery: 74 g
but I want to know if there are lights lighter (!) than the Zebralight with backup battery and maybe the same run time.

- What will you be using it for?
Mountaineering, camping, hiking at night. I mostly walk on trails at the moment but that might change into mountain terrain sooner or later. I occasionally have to run/jog to catch trains. :green:
I already have a Zebralight and while it's good I think it could be a little more lightweight. Also, I like handheld lights better.
- Do you only want high output or is runtime a concern?
Runtime should be at least 1:30, output more than the Zebralight, so 65+ Lumens or so.
- Do you have a preference for battery type?
I would prefer AA, but they are not as lightweight as AAA. But then, I can buy them everywhere if I have to. :duh2:
Well, anything as long as I can buy a few spare batteries.
- What type of beam do you like, floody or tight/throwy?
The Zebralight is pure flood. I think it's fine as long as there is a trail. The Zebralight is a bit overwhelmed when running through forests (hard to make out details).
- Do you want single level or multiple levels hi/med/low?
Two levels would be nice, not sure about more than two levels, probably not.
- User interface (UI) do you want simple hi/low or a complicated programmable UI?
Simple is good :thumbsup:
- What kind of switch: twisty, side click, rear click, forward/reverse?
Doesn't matter.
- How much $$ are you looking to spend?
Boutique is ok, I do it all the time.
Thanks for all suggestions.
