Amazingly handy November 22, 2009
Joshua Flavin (Redding, Ca)
This light is tiny, lightweight, and very useful. The downsides are that it's not amazingly bright like some other much larger Petzl headlamps, but comeon.. seriously, it's tiny. It's plenty bright for things like caving, emergency blackouts, etc. Anything you need a spot focus on within 20-30ft. It's not going to flood an entire large area with light, but... that's also an upside - depending on what you're doing. Now, the main upside of this light over many others - it's extremely maneuverable, both by design and ergonomics. It has a swivel base, so you can aim it pretty much anywhere you need to where your eyes are able to point. It's form fitting and smaller profile than other lights, so the chances of it hitting against something when you turn your head are minimal.
Best uses: Crawling around in tight spaces (crawlspace, cave, urban exploring, etc), emergency light that stores conveniently in a glove box, utility drawer, backpack/purse.

Super light, Small size, Very bright at the first 30 minutes. I did not buy this model though. I got the newer model: Petzl E02 P2 e+LITE Headlamp with Integrated Whistle. The whistle has been really handy for me to communicate with my friends in the no cell zones.
The perfect headlamp? It is for me! January 28, 2009

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.
 GREAT BACK UP January 25, 2009

If you climb or do anything in the outdoors this the light. Instead of carrying a extra set of batteries use this light very bright (like blinding).
