Traveling HiTech LoTech- A Great Utility Flashlight

The feel and function of today's upper end LED lights are something that makes them a joy to use. The tiny computers built into the chip that houses the LED makes them do what should be impossible. In my view, a great flashlight is a real travel necessity, and the the ZebraLight H51 Q5 LED is perfect for travel by foot or air.

Not much of a name, but a helluva light. A single AA cell, and a state of the art Cree LED, it puts out 200 lumens, an amazing amount of light. But making lights powerful is not making them useable. Making the beam work for its intended task takes engineering talent. Zebralight is an American company, which is not uncommon in high end flashlights. Read on to see how I have adapted it to be even more useful...

I selected this one because it has a very wide beam and the light has no shadows or rings, it is even, pure and wide. I use it for tasks and to double as a headlamp. It comes with an elastic band and a silicone holder. The beam is like no other light I have used- for work close at hand, walking around camp, or using in any dark area.

I use mine in a modified way that I learned on Candle Power Forums. It is an elastic band, with a shoelace and a cordlock. The reason this is so cool, I use the cordlock to snug it around my head and use it as a headlamp, or slack it of and hang it around my neck, where it is in perfect position for reading and tasks, or just to be handy as I am working around.
