New Headlamp

 

Just as my last blog post is published, I receive an advertisement from zPacks.  They have a new flashlight / headlamp that meets all my requirements.  It is the A5 Hat Clip Flashlight, a lightweight flashlight with a clip that allows it to be used as a headlamp.  It also has a lantern mode.  It has a USB-C port for charging, so I do not need any different cables.  More importantly, it weighs just .8 ounces and costs just $36.  My Zebralight H52W weighs 2.9 ounces and a spare AA battery is .7 ounces.  That is a 2.8 ounce weight savings for not much money.  Needless to say, I bought it immediately.
