Rating: 4.35/5 from 17 reviews Small, compact. Works fine. Lightweight, too.Powerful + Survived Blackout 2003Early this year, I was shopping for a mini book lamp. I had only two choices: 1. Zelco "itty bitty" Book Light 2. Petzel E44p Headlamp. Researched both products. Finally, decided Petzel E44P was the one for me based on reviews and the overall product specs . I purchased two Petzel headlamps and I'm happy that I made the right choice. Petzel: - Small, portable and powerful - Light, Stable, Comfortable and Powerful lamp - Handy Utility Lamp - - Night Reading - Excellent - Offer great lighting when you are working in a tight spot. - Petzel E44P became my essential survival tool during the GREAT Blackout 2003! - Pay more - Priceless for a Rock Solid Product - Battery Perfect Size - Powerful LED lamp vs. standard yellow light - Long Lasting battery - The batteries are over 6 months old and it is still going strong. Cons: Closing the battery lid was not easy. Fantastic For Camping And Many Other Uses!I purchased my first Zipka as a stocking stuffer for my husband, HOPING he would use it. It gets used all the time! Taking out the trash, in the workshop, as a book light, around the house and of course Camping! My whole family has since purchased them. The battery lasts forever and its a great way to tend the fire or cook without having to set up a lantern or other light source. Its light weight and durable too. Even my small cousins have them and they work great! | ||||||||||||||||
1) You are buying a headlamp with a retractable cord...of course it is going to be a little more difficult to get around your head...BUT find me a headlamp that wraps around your wrist, or arm, or heck, your screwdriver!
2) The "button switching off" issue can be a problem if you don't turn the switch on ALL the way. It's got a pretty stiff detent and if you don't actually switch the thing all the way on, then it 'bumps off'. I imagine this is to keep it from accidentally turning itself on while it's in your pocket. NEVER A PROBLEM!
3) This thing is *small*. Great for backpacking (light, small space) and great for carrying around everywhere.
4) It lasts almost forever. The AAA batteries just keep on chugging.
Try one out in a store....know what your buying and you won't be dissapointed.
