What Mike said: red light feature. If you are an early riser, red light doesn't disturb sleeping pilgrims as much.
Why use the capital letters??NEVER EVER EVER use a headlamp in an alburgue. EVER.
My wife and I start our first Camino from SJPP May 26. We are both filled with excitement and concern, but we'll be fine. In life we've learned to take things as they come and just deal with them the best we can. This site has been incredibly informative, helping us to prepare. Thank you all!!!
I understand headlamps are very useful. Prices and features vary. What features are recommended?
The best feature of any headlamp regardless of quality or cost is the ability to keep it stowed in your bag when you are in an alburge.
I'll check it out; thank you!I went with the Black Diamond Revolt. The features that stood out for me was the ability to use white or red light, adjustable for beam or wide angle, adjustable brightness, rechargeable, and it uses the same charging cable as my Samsung phone and Sony camera so I only have to bring one charging cable. It will also take normal batteries. It has served me well on many months of caminos.
Obviously, you would not turn on the overhead lights, unless you want to gain a bad reputation on the Camino.I would have thought it would be better than turning on the overhead light surely? Or tripping over in the dark on the way to the loo.
Did you ever need one to find your way to the bathroom at night?Carried one and only used it once.
Starting out before daylight on the final stretch into Santiago.
Because we were on a road, I led with one facing forward and Pat was behind me with one facing backwards.
Not sure I would bother with one again....
YES !!! lolDid you ever need one to find your way to the bathroom at night?
But if you do, be sure you're holding in your hand where you have better control of where it shines, not on your forehead where it has the magic power to indiscriminately shine directly into everyone else's face.NEVER EVER EVER use a headlamp in an alburgue. EVER.
