I have a Petzl Actik and a Nitecore NU20, which are both good for running forests at night (I use them for orienteering).
NU20 has built in battery so is only good for short events (can’t change batrery) or camping, but for those things it’s brilliant for the price. VERY light.
Petzl Actik is much more expensive and twice the weight but you can change batteries. You can buy a rechargeable 1800mah Li battery or 3x AAA. Good unit.
If you want more capacity than nu20 but don’t care about changing batteries I think the NU30 looks like a good compromise. Not an option for endurance events though.
I have no Zebra lights (i think they take the ‘fun’ out of ‘funding’… ), but on my scales the H03 weighs 1.57oz that’s without the clip.
Did you replace the magnet with the plastic thingy?
It’s because it’s on your forehead, or rather suspended from your forehead.
The heavier the light, the tighter the head band has to be to keep it in place, increasing very much the feeling that there’s a thing on your forehead.
i suggest a seperate battery pack headlamp if u want long hours. OLIGHT H35 WAVE is light weight, seperate 4 18650 battery pack, max 1500lm, hansfree activation, and if u say 3hrs 50lm is horrible then this has 550lm for 8hrs, 50lm for 24hrs :+1:
from my experience strapping a headlamp strap onto your head for more than several hours no matter how soft the strap is will still be very uncomfortable becos it blocks veins around your head. The best way is strap them onto a helmet then put them on that will be much comfortable
