I go every evening with dog on the mountain - that is I live in Garmisch and my mountain. The lamp provides for my taste in addition to the outstanding brightness excellent illumination - better than anything I Mammut, Petzl and Co. call my own ... Absolute recommendation ... even at night ski touring (already tried ;-)) with Twofish Flashlight Holder also ideal for bike tours as a bicycle lamp ... I see no big difference to Lupine except the fourfold price ...
