Make: Petzl
Model: e+LITE
You can't ask for more than gear that is both thoroughly effective and highly compact. This is the headlamp I carry in my EDC pack, and it's come in handy on numerous occasions. Let's face it, emergency gear is no good unless you have it with you during the emergency. The e+LITE is so small that there's really no excuse not to have one near you at all times.
So it has compact covered. But on top of that it's simply well-designed. The light rotates on a small ball joint that lets you aim the beam at the precise angle you want it, the switch operates with no fumbling, and it throws more than enough light for such a tiny lamp.
And it even packs down easily into its red protective case. There's nothing worse than struggling to cram gear into a "compact" case that feels like it was intentionally made just a little bit too small.
My only advice for prospective buyers of the e+LITE is that perhaps you should consider getting two.
