How do you make a headlamp even more useful? Make it more than just a headlamp, as Mammut has done by pairing their already powerful Lucido TR1 four-LED device with an ambient light attachment. Just remove said lamp off head, click on the plastic housing, and you’ve got a halo of gentle light that’s perfect for low-key camp-side and tent activities like cooking, reading, or other…more amorous activities.  The headlamp itself runs on two AAA batteries, casting light up to 20 meters for up to 60 hours, with two brightness settings—perfect for nighttime hiking, biking, climbing, and running and other hands-free needs, while the attachment packs easily and weighs a few measly grams. It saved two testers sanity one particularly buggy night after a 14-mile slog left them cooking after dark–the bugs swarmed to the lantern…not their heads, and they were able to dine in peace.  Never as such a little thing made such a big difference.
The Ambient Light ($11) is also sold separately, and attaches to Mamut’s T1 and TXlite headlamps.
