Yo,
After some knowledge about head lamps for night time running/orienteering. My lads birthday coming up and was thinking it might be good pressie. Don't want to break the bank but can run up to about 50/60 quid.
He borrowed my Fenix HL50 last night but complained it wasn't very bright. I'm only running on a AA Li-ion which might have been a little flat. Its quite a spread beam and not much of a spot too, which can be nice in cave passage, but not on a dark field/moor at night.
Zebra lights are an option but their range is baffling. (did I recall seeing a spreadsheet somewhere).
Any others I should be considering. obv features need to be light/balanced so it doesn't bounce around too much whilst running. Good spot/lumen output.
under ?50 preferable.
