[at-l] headlamps, southern humor and one more question

[gwa at ec.rr.com (gwa@xxxxxxxxx)]

Red,
There are a number of small lights available.  I like the Photon 2 
and 3 lights but they are pricey.  The -2 has a locking on/off switch 
and weighs 5 grams.  The -3 has 4 beam modes (high, medium, 
low, auto-off) and 3 beacon modes (sos, fast/slow strobe) and 
weighs 7 grams.  Both are water resistant but not water proof and I 
had one mess up on a weekend of heavy rain.  Photon replaced it 
at no charge.  

Batteries on both last about 10 to 12 hours.  You can remove the 
key rings and get an aligator clip from radio shack that fits the hole 
perfectly and use it as a clip-on for your hat.  

There are a lot of other micro lights out there including some that 
just cost about $2 but I have no experience with them.  I carry my 
Photon -2 on a cord around my neck with a whistle, flint/steel, and 
leatherman micro.  I carry a second on my key chain for everyday 
use.

BTW i doubt you will ever be sorry you bought the Aurora!  My son 
had a bracket on his break and they replaced the whole light under 
the lifetime warranty
