Every one of the headlamps in the RidgeNote register with a manufacturer-published figure, placed on the distribution. 2 of 12 publish no weight and are listed below without a weight rank. Figures are manufacturer-listed and dated on each product page; nothing here is weighed by us.
The least you can carry for what you are willing to spend — the frontier, not a favourite.
Ranked by published weight; the meter is the share of the 10 each model is lighter than.

These headlamps have no maker-published weight on record, so they are not ranked by weight.
Weights and prices are the manufacturer's published figures as recorded in the RidgeNote register; each product page shows the source and the date read where one is recorded. Percentiles count only models with a published figure; ties count neither way. Price is the maker's list price; a retailer's current price is never used. Batteries, mounts and straps are listed, not ranked. The register is re-read on a schedule, so this page reflects the catalogue as of its last build.
