My kind and gracious Commander-In-Chief (CIC) gifted me with a new
product from their company: the
Energizer 7 LED headlight (http://www.energizerbatteries.com.ph/Energizerv2/Products-Lighting-HandsFree.aspx).
Definitely, this is something useful for ultra running what with the following
first-rate features:
•5
Light modes – night vision, spot, flood, spot+ flood, strobe
•100
lumens
•5.5
hours runtime on brightest setting
•Pivoting
headlight to point light where needed
•Water
resistant
•Easy
to operate electronic switch
•Removable/washable head strap which is now wider for more comfort
Actually, this is the 3rd time
that I have received an Energizer headlight from my wife. The 1st time was way back in 2010 for my
maiden voyage in the full mary at the TBR Dream Marathon. The 2nd time was
last year when I got to utilize it for the 2013 Mayon
360. Happy to report that the first 2 Energizer headlights did the job in
providing light in the dark hours of the early morning starts. Plus, the 2 have proven to be durable as both
are still serviceable to this date.

My minor complaint though on
the earlier Energizer headlights was
that the batteries were not easily accessible for replacement. More often than not, when the batteries
needed changing, I had to seek the help of the CIC who provided the female
dexterity to accomplish such a feat. The
Bicolano Penguin lacks the patience for
this sort of things.Not anymore with
my 3rd Energizer headlight as it has a
user-friendly easy-open battery compartment which makes changing batteries on
the go easy.
Plus, what makes the new model
better, of course, is that it has 7 LED lights as opposed to 3 in the older
model(s). As a result, the Energizer
& LED Headlight gives out more than
ample illumination. I got to
first battle-test it not on the road while running but during the Friday
Stations of the Cross in our village last week. While many of our neighbors
used the standard electric light lamps with long extension cords for their
respective stations on the street, our household improvised with the Energizer
7LED headlight. As the photo below would show, the 13th Station was none too shabby in the radiance department.
Energizer 7 LED Headlight - a superb product built to last
and easier to use. A divine job from the
positive energy company.
