Anyone do any night sports?
...and I don't mean bedroom gymnastics!
I do night orienteering, and the winter league is about to begin and I'm looking at replacing my Petzl Zoom head torch - anyone know a really good one to get? Been looking at a Silva 480 headlamp but by the time you add battery, charger etc - the price is the same as a PIAA driving lamp conversion for the car!! Anyone knoe of a head torch that'll give that "bu99er me! Daylight!!" sensation without splashing out 200 notes? |
how long are the races? your eyes adjust to nighttime vision in around 30-45 mins.
Don't do any particular night time sports, but spend most winter nights out running cross country and anytime I do some hill walking at this time of year, it's always dark when I drag myself off a mountain. I use a Petzl TacTikka to give me enough light to read a map. I would stick with Petzl. Have you looked at the DUO range? Stefan |
Need long range lighting really to be able to navigate off the terrain - the Petzl zoom I've got has been OK but most other competitors have high powered type setups so I'm at a real disadvantage - especially when running round a forest looking for a red & white marker about 6inch squre a foot off the ground.
Races usually last around 30-40 mins but can be as long as 1hr or more. |
I'd look at the Petzl Duo or Myo range. They should have plenty battery life to last 60mins on full chat.
Halogen is probably still your best bet for range. Stefan |
Gone for the Silva MICA lamp with 10W & 20W halogen bulbs and a 9Ah battery :norty:
