Why it's on my list
A headlamp per person is the first line of my power outage gear list, because both hands stay free for the stove, the breaker panel and the kids. This one clips to a strap, a collar or a hat brim, tilts and rotates to aim, sticks to the breaker box by its magnets, and wears as a headlamp on the band in the kit: 580 lumen flood, a 130 meter spot, red for night vision and UV for checking a bill, a leak or a scorpion.

What it is
A clip-on light that aims where you point it: a head that tilts 115 degrees on a clip that rotates 360, with a selector for a 580 lumen floodlight, a 130 meter spotlight, red light for night vision and an 800 mW UV inspection light; the Ultra's emitter combines red and UV in one source. The clip grips anything up to 14 mm thick (straps, collars, MOLLE), and tail and clip magnets turn it into a work light. OAL aluminum with a scratch-resistant finish; the headband in the kit makes it a headlamp.
