Let there be light: seven flashlights for travellers and campers
From headlamps for hiking and inflatable solar lights for the great outdoors to pen torches and clip-on reading lights, well-prepared travellers can have an illuminating trip
This headlamp (HK$399, Patagonia, Times Square, 1 Matheson St, Causeway Bay, tel: 2506 0677) produces up to 130 lumens. The brightness can be adjusted just by tapping the housing, which makes it ideal for pre-dawn skiing and sunrise hikes.
Lightweight, waterproof and powered by the sun, Luci (HK$116, mpowerd.com) is a collapsible, inflatable light that has 10 LEDs inside – UPerfect for camping and bright enough to read by. The Give Luci programme has donated these to off-grid regions in Kenya, Haiti, the Philippines and Nepal.
If your e-reader doesn’t have a backlight, this clip-on (HK$139.99, hk.mobilefun.com) with three super-bright, white LEDs is useful for gloomy locations – and it’s great on long-haul night flights.
