Petzl e+LITE Emergency Headlamp

This light has saved my ass

By Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete Ranked #4 - Headlamps October 10, 2008

I keep an e+Light clipped to the back of my harness, along with a Tibloc, short prussic cord and a knife. I consider these things essential to bring on every climb. I had a client not bring their headlamp on a climb recently and I said, "no worries" as I unpacked my pack to get to my harness with the e+Lite attached. The light is surprisingly bright for its size, has several settings, including a blinking setting. It obviously doesn't put out like the MYO-XP but it is plenty functional to get you where you need to go through the dark in a pinch. I like its protective case (mine is all scratched up from chimneys and rock climbing but is still functional and water proof). Good to have in your pack as an extra light when backpacking or even in the glovebox of your car for that "just in case" moment.

i still don't get how it saved your ass. Is the lesson of the story that you get paid by your clients if you have this lamp?
