A nice LED headlamp for night x-country skiing.
What kind did you get?

Princeton Tec Quad. It even has a strobe on it. I can wear that when I fly
at night and have a frontal strobe! :^)


There goes the night vision! g

How many LED's does it have, Quad, meaning 4? How many watts?


Yup 4. Not sure on the wattage but it is 21 lumens. That is very very
bright for a headlamp.

We live in Central Mass. Lots of great cross country skiing around here,
assuming there is snow, which we don't have yet. So the gadgets will
have to wait, unless I do some night hiking which my dog would enjoy
instead of the skiing.

I would think you would need a lot of brightness for night skiing, but I
don't know. There is not a lot of scross country skiing, here at the foot
of the "mountains" in NC. g I went one time with a friend while visiting
in Ohio, a very long time ago.
