Review by Valery Shanin

Your Cap with light I had to use every day, both during a day and during a night.
I would not manage to be without it, especially in the tropical forests. It's getting dark early here and people are in the economy in part of electricity. Roads are not good and without lighting I could broke my legs any moment.
It is also a common situation, when you go somewhere for an hour and have to stay at some interesting place till the late evening. Within a moment it is dark around!

When I was biking in Bagana (Miyanma) around the ancients ruins I have been caught by darkness unawares and could find a way to the hotel only thanks to your Cap.

One day in Indonesia, I could even get the savings for 2 dollars! It was necessary to start climbing to observation place on volcano Bromo (Yava Island) at 2 am. It was quite difficult to be without lighting. Local "businessman" was offering the lights for 3 hours rent at $2.

Without any doubts I will be recommending your Cap to everybody. It is very suitable, efficient, comfortable and even economical product.

Nomadic Planet - Land In The Sky Project

Nomadic Planet is a photographic company specializing in the creation of bodies of work for book publications

In our current project, “Land In the Sky”, we aim to use photography to cultivate an understanding of the symbiosis between people and place by producing a unique photography book that observes the dynamic between the physical environment and the cultures that reside within in the Himalaya range.

This project integrates two distinct disciplines from within the photography realm. Paul Daly, a landscape specialist, and , a social documentarist, have joined forces to try and communicate this primal relationship between the land and those who live on it. Each photographer uses their knowledge and talent in their particular field to bring out different aspects of the same location, creating a strong, emotional and evocative look at a place and its people.

“ Traveling for work, as we at Nomadic planet do, requires a lot of preparation and a high dependency on reliable gear. Having personal light is essential to us as we start our days well before sunrise and finish in the dark. In places like Nepal even the capital, Kathmandu, had power shortages every single night! In some of the smaller settlement electricity is very scarce indeed.

2C Solar Light Caps met our need for hands free light and the freedom from reliance on batteries (both as an environmental stand and in order to obviate the issue of accessibility). “The Caps’” bright light saved us from falling into gutters in the cities and off cliffs in the countryside quite a few times. Their durability was tested with rain, dust, falls and wind. They still work each time we press the button. But the most notable quality is the solar recharge. For us, it means one less issue to deal with as recharging or looking for replacement batteries takes us from our core business of capturing images.

All these qualities became so important in our last visit to the Himalayas as we were getting used to new photographic gear and places we had never visited before. Knowing that we had a secure source of light, and therefore one less thing to think about, was a great relief when working in a foreign environment. “ Giora Dan, Nomadic Planet
