>>403588makes it easy to walk around at nite, in the dark and be able to see stuff. headlamp will illuminate in the direction i turn my head. a flashlight in my hand at the same time allows me additional lite to direct any direction i want.
>headlamp>flashlight>backup flashlighteach light serves as an extra backup in the event one of them fails. so basically 3 different lites means i have 1 lite, and 2 back ups.
The headlamp is pretty compact.
my main flashlight is fairly compact only slightly larger than 2 AA batteries. My back up flash light is usually even smaller, like a single AA or CR123A battery.
pic related- Fenix E05 is my back-up. its only slightly larger than the AAA battery it runs off of. its 85 lumens which is super bright for such a compact lite.
