Oval Luxeon Light: Day Pack Essential

I go on frequent "Day Hikes", whereby I take essentially nothing save for water and maybe a snack. In doing so, I've cursed myself on more than one occasion after I realize I've stayed out past sunset, and now I have to trudge back through the trail on my hands and knees or by the dim light of a cell phone held over my head (that was less than a fun trip, I assure you).

Enter the Oval. Not just an ordinary flashlight, it features a forward facing high intensity Luxeon star capable of a claimed 10 times the power output of a standard LED cluster, in addition to a dual LED lamp facing down at the trail just ahead. Superior to a dimly lit trail via cell phone back light any day.

Runs on 3 "AAA" batteries for 10 hours of full illumination, and up to 30 hours of diminishing light. Also features a multi-function switch to activate both lights, just the forward or just the downward firing. At 6oz, it shouldn't be hard to justify as a "just in case" item on your next day hike.

Available direct from OvalLight for $29.99.
