For an enjoyable night life


This miniature light (Tag Light by ABITAX ) has been a light source for my night fishing for some years.

I got two of these on each side of my fly vest around chest pockets. The light is nicely designed and only weighs 4g which I like as my fly vest is already heavy enough.

It doesn't give me enough light to walk on a unfamiliar trail or to wade across a river safely in total darkness, but it is bright enough for me to move around a camp site and to change flies at night around bridges, habours, etc.




To spice up my night life though, I bought this, Petzl e+Light on the last weekend. It weighs 28g and comes with a case. The body can rotate 360 degree, and I can either wear it as a head light or attach it on my fly vest with a clip.

I can set it to give me a normal light (on low or high setting) and a red light. The light is waterproof to 1m as well.

According to a product info, e+Light is designed for emergency, so it is not as powerful as other bigger head lights in the market, but those lights weigh 3 times more than e+Lite, so for its compact size, it is highly functional. Besides, compared to my Tag Light, this light is still as bright as a full moon, I think.

Hopefully, the weather gets better on this weekend, so that I can test the light in on the river at night.
