Petzl Bindi

The Petzl Bindi targets users counting grams above all: at 35 g, it's among the lightest headlamps in Petzl's lineup. The built-in rechargeable battery (micro-USB) delivers 200 lumens and a 36 m beam — plenty for reading in camp, cooking after dark, or short stretches on trail, but limiting for long night hikes over demanding terrain. Five lighting modes include red light, and a lock function prevents accidental activation inside a pack. IPX4 handles rain but not submersion. Runtime on the lowest setting reaches 50 hours, a solid figure given the size. The target audience is trail runners and ultralight backpackers who count grams and are willing to trade beam distance and brightness for minimal pack weight — a fine primary or backup light for trips where you expect short evening or morning use rather than all-night hiking.
