Hi there,
At the moment I am using a Petzl Tikka Plus2 for night running. The headlight is bright enough to make me see the trail and shines really far, but I feel that the beam is too spot-focused for my purposes. I am thinking of trying a new headlamp which has a wider flood-like beam and illuminates 7-10 metres in front of me as well as my surroundings.
My questions:
1. Could the Silva Ninox be fitting for my purposes? According to some reviews the "intelligent light beam" (combination of flood and spot light) does his job quite well. Has someone ever directly compared the beam of the Ninox against the beam of the Tikka Plus2? How do the beams perform in comparison?
2. According to the Silva homepage, the "Trail Runner" headlamp of Silva is more suitable for sport activities like running/skiing and the Ninox is more for activities like hiking and hunting. Are there any points that speak against using the Ninox for running? I can´t think of any right now.
3. Are there any other suggestions for a headlight that meets my requirements? It shouldn´t weight more than 100grams, have the battery compartment included to the main body at the front of the lamp and have a more flood-like beam like mentioned above. Battery life and different lighting modes do not really matter as I don´t do any runs longer than 2 hours.
Thanks for your help.
