Headlamp or Flashlight

Headlamps and flashlights are essential for lighting in low-light conditions during hiking. Headlamps offer hands-free convenience, making them ideal for tasks like setting up camp or cooking. They typically feature adjustable brightness settings, a tilt function for directing light, and a comfortable, secure headband. Flashlights provide a focused beam of light and may have additional features like variable light modes and water resistance. Both should be lightweight, durable, and have long battery life.

Used for visibility and safety in low-light or nighttime conditions.

- Choose a model with a long battery life and carry spare batteries.
- Consider the lumens (brightness) based on your needs.
- Look for water-resistant and durable construction.
