Bee,

Here in Phoenix the park system has full moon night hikes. It is so bright that no light is needed. If fact when someone turns on a light it is very annoying and the hikers (me) start grumbling.

I have hiked at night with my Petzl Tikka XP. It lights up the trail good enough to hike. We have gone out looking for cottontail rabbits. We were not hunting just nature watching for a Boy Scout merit badge. It is fun because the rabbits eyes light up so they are easy to find and they freeze when you shine the light on them. I was out with my wife and 11 year old twins.
