Northern Exile Aug 2019 5:35pm, 19 Aug 2019 5,331 posts	0 Northern Exile I've got a petzl Myo that has been a faithful companion for many years and that's what I pack when weight is a consideration. For nights on the Fells and things like BGR supports I use a Hope R4, there is nothing to match it for power and quality. My wife has an R2, that's pretty potent too. Unsociable though and if you are running behind someone they will be running in their own shadow.

Derby Tup Aug 2019 8:10pm, 21 Aug 2019 33,752 posts	0 Derby Tup Hope R4 for serious running as NE says - can’t be beaten for build quality (and after sales service in rare occasion needed). Happy with £30 Petzyl or an Alpkit for (rare) bits of road running I do
Albert O Balsam Aug 2019 12:38pm, 29 Aug 2019 571 posts	0 Albert O Balsam Thanks to all for your responses - plenty of food for thought there, particularly as the nights have started to draw in (a bit)
Jenelopy Aug 2019 6:32am, 30 Aug 2019 474 posts	0 Jenelopy I've been very happy with my Alpkit Gamma, which I have had for a year. I wasn't aware of the issue, and I hope I don't have them. The only negative to me, is that is says it doesn't work on rechargeable batteries and I haven't been brave enough to try yet (also, we didn't have any rechargeables of the right size at home)
Vancouver Jogger Aug 2019 7:13am, 30 Aug 2019 4,035 posts	0 Vancouver Jogger Might give the Kalenji a try as the mornings start to get darker and need to replace a broken alpkit. I wear glasses and wear a cap in the rain, which doesn't go well with a head torch! And in light rain or mist I can hardly see anything.
