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?

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.

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.

Is that bright enough at skiing speeds to avoid whatever darts in front
of your headlamp?

Cross country skiing, where it is flat, is not much faster than a fast walk.
We are not talking about downhill ski speeds, here!
