Review: AlpKit Indigo
Add comment October 9th, 2006
The AlpKit Indigo is a basic and cheap head torch - it sells direct from AlpKit for £5 including delivery.It has 4 LEDs, which can be used on 2 modes - 2 LEDS give 80h of use and 4 give 40h of use. It runs off 3*AAA batteries located in a holder at the back of the strap.
The quality is pretty good, its solid enough and if you tilt the head down full, the on off button cannot be activated, stopping this from accidental turn ons. Nothings broken or worn out, but only a year of abuse will tell the full story. The wieght with batteries is 113g - so its ideal to carry as a backup or just for peace of mind.
Performance is acceptable - not as good as a Petzl Tikka, but enough to walk by and certainly good enough for round camp. I have one in the car now for general use - at this price its a very good deal.
You can only buy this direct from AlpKit - here.
