Our verdict

A very small emergency headlamp with white light, a red strobe, a whistle and a locking switch. Light output is low, so it is a backup light, not a main trail lamp.

Overview

Carrying an emergency light in a pack is the job the e+LITE is built for: it is ultracompact, with a white LED, a red strobe for signaling and a whistle. The carry case lets it be stored with its batteries for years.

The strength is being ready: a switch lock, batteries included, a long storage life and a long runtime. Output is modest, so the lamp suits emergencies and camp chores more than night hiking.

Who it's for

People who want a backup light to stash with their gear get what they need here. Anyone who moves quickly at night, or needs a wide flood beam, should choose a brighter lamp.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Red strobe for signaling
  • Switch lock prevents accidents
  • Stores with batteries in the case
  • Waterproof, wide temperature range
Cons
  • Low light output
  • Battery listing is confusing
  • Dimension field looks like packaging

Performance notes

The white LED gives enough light for moving around in the dark, and the red strobe is meant to make a person visible in an emergency. The lock stops the lamp from switching on in a bag. The seller says it survives immersion and extreme temperatures.
