Good choice, Petzl has been my prefered choice for headlamp's, for a number of years now. My thinking on torches etc is that you are dealing in two descrete ranges. 6" to 30' ( 30cm to 10m) and 30' to limit of vision. If you need to see anything beyond the 30' mark, nightvision ( unless the situation is tactical using NVG's) becomes academic. Comment's anyone?
