Bellingham Weather
A Gift Idea for the Serious Adventurer
Bellingham is plenty dark on either end of banker’s hours in the winter months — like now, for example. If you’re like me and head home from the office around 5:30 or 6, and you still want to get some outdoor adventure or exercise in for the day, you better be geared up with some serious light.
Enter Fenix. I first learned about Fenix flashlights from my friend Charlie Buell, the Seattle home inspector and world class blogger. Charlie was over for dinner a couple months back and literally lit up our home’s surrounding forest with his new Fenix TK40.
Recently, Fenix introduced their first headlamp, the HP10. It runs off 4 AA batteries and has four brightness setting ranging from 7 lumens, such as for reading, up to 225 lumens, such as for guiding in a 747! Seriously, 225 lumens is ridiculously bright. The headlamp is rated to cast its beam at that setting for 120 meters, or nearly 400 feet! On top of that, it’s also rated waterproof up to 2 meters for 30 minutes continous lighting.
This is a professional grade headlamp that would be sincerely drooled over by any biker, walker, runner, kayaker — or any home owner who has occasion to traverse the attic or crawl space, or just take the garbage out after hours. The headlamp sells for a totally reasonable price of <$70.
Pick one up for that special someone this Christmas… and grab an extra one for your favorite Realtor!!!
