Tools and Hardware Reviews of Petzl E02 P e+LITE Emergency Headlamp

Customer Review: The perfect headlamp? It is for me!
Summary: 5 Stars

WOW I just received the results of my internet search for a suitable headlamp/flashlight for kayaking.

The Petzl E02 P e+LITE is waterproof (not just water resistant) to 1 m. Uses a lithium watch battery (good for 35-45 hours of usage, up to 10 years storage). The entire thing, strap included fits into a case about the size of a two Bic lighters taped together! This allows me to comfortly place it within my PFD. If you don't want to use the adjustable strap, it has a clip to place it on a hat or clothing. By the way, the strap can be adjusted to fit anything headsize and smaller. For example, I could strap it to my kayak's rod holder. When I looked at the picture, I thought that the strap and small light would not stay on my head well. To the contrary, it makes it a more natural connection. It's light weight and the adjustable strap makes it snug or loose (however you want it).

It has 5 light settings from the 3 white LEDs and 1 red LED. Low, High, flashing white, flashing red, and red. The dim light is perfect for the kayak area and lights up to 16 m if you want to see around you.

After testing it, I would not think of using a larger (brighter) version for kayaking or anything else. Petzl makes brighter and larger versions, but I don't know if I really need more light. I was skeptical on buying small because my experience with LED headlamps is that they are usually dimmer than I want. If you do buy a larger (brighter) Petzl, keep in mind that most of them are water resistant. Only a couple of other models besides this one are waterproof.

It's even got a ball hinge which enables it to be positioned in any direction. Left, Right, Down, Up... you get it. The ball hinge also lets you turn the lights around toward the clip when you put it away. This protects the lights when in storage.

I have not been this wowed since I opened the box of my IPod. Even the batteries are cheap. Amazon has 12 of the batteries for $10 with free shipping. That makes it easy to carry a spare or two as they are about the size of a nickle and last up to 10 years in storage.

Customer Review: Wow. Where was this when I was in the military!
Summary: 5 Stars

What an amazing product. Light, simple, flexible. I've had other hands-free "head lights", but this is the best by far. I run with it (flashing red or white) at night. Also, if camping or hiking, the solid red light preserves night vision.

Worth every penny. The jury is still out on battery life, but, if it's like other LED products, it will be good.

Don't know how it does in dirty environment yet.

I want 2. (one for front, one for rear... night running)

Customer Review: light and powerful.
Summary: 5 Stars

Purchased the Petzl e+lite headlamp Eo2 for sailing at night. Fantastic product. The headlamp offers a small clip to fasten to your clothing or hat brim and an adjustable strap allows you to wear it around your head, arm or wrist. The light's beam swivels and is infinitely adjustable with selector switch for either red or white led lights. Red light saves your night vision and is bright enough to be useful. Features low (economy) or bright (full power) white light and a strobe function for red and white light. Stows in small plastic case. I used this light for one evening (10) ten hours. Don't know how long the batteries will last. With extra batteries, this headlamp will replace any standard flashlight that you now rely upon for most chores. I will purchase a couple more as a glove box item in our cars. Would make a great gift for hunters, boaters, campers, etc.

Customer Review: love this headlamplet
