Going on a trip - what to bring?
This is not my entire collection of flashlights, just the ones that made the short list for my upcoming trip to Colorado and Arizona, which will involve some time outdoors.
Four seems like a reasonable number.

Interesting, I’ve never used a LEP so don’t really know what they are like. I do like having a red light, though that’s just me. Do you have a headband for the DW4? Do you like wearing it? I haven’t been tempted to buy a DW4 so far, because it is pretty heavy for a headlamp IMHO. I’m unfamiliar with the Wizard. I will always choose a reprogrammable Anduril light in favor of a closed source light of a similar niche.
In Arizona I’ve heard a UV light can be interesting if you want to look at scorpions. Wear eye protection.
@solrize I have several headbands for the DW4, including the one that optionally ships with it. I’ll use one from Skilhunt for any angle light.
The DW4 is 157g with battery, and the Wizard is 125. The Wizard is mostly better at being a headlamp, but the DW4 has better tint and efficiency.
