We brought you some scoop pics
of the new Petzl e+LITE torch due out in October but
they were taken through glass and consequently a little shiny. Don't
despair though, we now have official Petzl pics of the little
blighter and complete tech spec.
Just to recap, the e+LITE is a 27-gramme semi-emergency torch that
features a lot of super cunning touches like an integral clothing and
strap clip, lots of different settings including red-light options
and runs on two ultra-lightweight and thankfully cheap, lithium watch
batteries.
So what else can we tell you? Well, this is how it looks in
official photos a la Posh and Becks...
Otherwise the spec's as we told you before, though we didn't mention
that the light is mounted on a ball-joint with 360-degree movement or
that it's certified to be used in explosive environments.
Petlz is also very concerned that we're very careful to spell
e+LITE just like that, because it's pronounced 'EE - LIGHT' and they
don't want it being written as e-lite and that being bastardised to
'elite', like elite racers and, well, you've been warned, or more to
the point, we have.
The Petzl e+LITE - see how we did that - is due in the shops this
October and will be priced at £25.
