Bindi is a camp lamp. The flood is pleasant at a pot. The throw is not a route-finding beam. Pair it with a real lamp, or do not take it as the only light. The weight is the temptation to make it the only light. Resist that.

Who should buy it. Car campers and hikers who already carry a primary lamp.

Best for. In-camp tasks, not night hiking

Standout limitation. Not enough throw for a dark trail
