As the king of thread diversion I should be the last to speak..........

But the thread is not about head lamps per se. We can certainly talk about them as I have more than my fair share lying about and I would be interested in what other people have.

I think this particular light (pulsar) warrants unique consideration. A head lamp you invariably have to retrieve in order to use. What I like about this light is that it is so small and light as to enable you to have it within your grasp at all times. Hence, the main point of the original post. Similar to a pocket knife......you forget it is on you until you need it.

For a light the size of a quarter I was surprised at how much light it threw. The downside of its small size is that it is easily lost. While it will never replace my headlamp it just might help me navigate safely to my headlamp or to the safety of the no-see-um mesh  8-).
