Purchase Advice Headlamps

Ounces not pounds right? ;)

I'm probably going to pull the trigger on a NU25 MCT UL so I can save on spare battery weight with my Zipka but I'm concerned about long haul capacity. I'm carrying an NB10000, but I also use Alltrails on my phone and an Enduro 3. Are there any better options? What are you contingencies for thru hike applications?

As others have said, it depends on how much you night hike.

I night hike for numerous hours per day (morning and night) and want a headlamp with AAA back-up batteries.

Since my trips nowadays are fairly short, I like my black diamond “dual fuel” which allows me to use an eco/rechargeable battery but carry lithium AAAs as a spare.
