At this week’s Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City Petzl offered another bright idea with its auto-adjusting headlamp. An optical sensor can automatically measure the distance to an object and adjust the light accordingly. This headlamp can shine up to 140 lumens so you won’t be left in the dark.

Bosavi LED Works as Bike Headlight and More
When camping bringing good portable lights is key. This is something that is sometimes very difficult to understand in our modern world where lights are readily available after the sun goes down. There are plenty of lights out there, but it can expensive and take up a lot of room to bring them all.
But now Bosavi has developed a light that can work as a bike light/head lamp and use its packaging to transform into lantern. The LED light is powered by a lithium-polymer battery, which can deliver 70 hours of illumination in low mode, 23 hours in 60-lumen mode and three hours in 110-lumen boost mode. This might be OK if you’re camping for a single night, but the Bosavi can also be recharged from various sources including solar chargers. Video after the jump
Outdoor Retailer Show: Self-Adjusting Headlamp
There have been several products that allow wearers to cast a little illumination on the path ahead, and at the recent Outdoor Retailer Show the NAO was one that turned heads – and still cast the light where it needed to go. The soon-to-be-released NAO headlamp from Petzl features an integrated light sensor that is mounted near the LEDs on the front. It reportedly analyzes ambient light and then “instantly and automatically” adjusts the light-beam output to suit the conditions. We call this a bright idea indeed!
