Nite Ize Waterproof Hiking Backpacks

Choose your beam type

• Flood (or fixed): A single short-focus beam works well for general tasks in camp or while walking. 

• Spot (or focused): Spotlight that penetrates a long distance. Best for route-finding or quick activities. 

• Adjustable: Can shift from a fixed to spot beam. 

What to consider when shopping 

• Regulated output: Option that maintains light at steady brightness level throughout battery life—then dies quickly. 

• Light output: Measure (in lumens) of light intensity on highest brightness setting. 

• Beam distance: How far the light will shine before the brightness diminishes to equivalent of light from a full moon. 

• Run time: How long the battery will last at various settings. 

• Controls: Some lights have safety locks to prevent accidental switching on.
