weejohn Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I work at a fish farm and use one of these every night through autumn/winter in ALL conditions for 5 years now . https://clulite.cluson.co.uk/headlights/359-super-spot-rechargeable-headalite.html the best torch I have used so far , 18 hours use on high beam and 24 hours on low . No silly batteries to charge separately, just plug it in . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxyloxy Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 LED Lenser H7 is on my wishlist this winter. Amazing torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weejohn Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Not the smallest though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybrock Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Mines the older version of this one. http://www.petzl.com/en/Sport/ACTIVE-headlamps/TIKKA-XP?l=GB#.Vh6_jJxLOrU Mines about 8 years old now so torch technology has probably moved on a bit since I bought mine!!!

outandabout Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 LED Lenser H7 is on my wishlist this winter. Amazing torch. I've had two of the H7R's, and although they're good they break quite easily. First one, one of the cables snapped. Second one, the plastic 'bracket' holding the head strap has broken. Been looking for a replacement myself recently so I'm going to try one of the clulites recommended above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

264wm Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I have two of the these,"eBay item number:201430347369", they are brilliant flood or spot, spot will do 50-60yds, and it comes with rechargable batteries.. I have a stalking mate with a petzl and these are in a different league, they last longer( battery wise) and are a lot lot brighter. regards N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonfleet Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I use a cluson it only cost me about twenty five quid great beam and ideal for filling a mag or removing mag etc. very good value for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagged 77 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Check out Fenix and Zebralight. Innovative, good features and very capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasteoid Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Zebra light or armytek. I have both and use them massively outdoors fishing and shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzzzz Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I had a global rifle sniper systems one given to me by a mate. I would never ever pay their asking price as the quality is abysmal for the price. It is exactly the same as the ones you can get for 8 quid but with a sniper systems elastic but it runs on 18650s has a very adjustable spot to flood range and will do high power, low power and epilepsy mode. You don't need to cycle all the modes to get off you just hold the button down. A useful feature. Runtime is good and the quality of the beam is very easy for both distance and close up work. If you get a cheap version id say you can't go wrong. It's not weatherproof in any way though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybrock Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Might be worth having a look in Halfords bike shop, some of the cyclist (????) that go tearing about at night have really good head torches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSG Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Cheap but worth a look is the range on alpkit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Petzl Pixa 3 is a good solid work light. Certainly not the brightest and the initial reaction was the beam length wasn't inspiring but having used it for various things including diy I am liking it. Low batteries have a warning light and to conserve it will drop back to the next intensity option when the power available is diminishing. Feels very robust, comfy and gives a feeling of dependability. Current price is around £65 but shop around. I did and mine cost £48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
