Head Torch Recommendations?

[Will C]

These are cheap but good, not the most comfortable compared to more expensive offerings but not bad. You can adjust between flood and spot light. Hi and low settings plus a silly annoying strobe. The rechargeable battery lasts ages. Mine is now going into its 2nd winter at work and also gets used in the workshop so hasn’t had a clean easy life. I reckon it was good value for money.

Thanks for all the replies, not sure I'm any further forward as everyone has their own preferences! ?

 

 

I should also add it needs to be waterproof - it's for use in Scotland, not the wettest part of Scotland, but still pretty wet for a large proportion of the time.  Predominantly used outside so a good water resistant rating considered essential!

Bought two of these and they great.

Had several over the years but best all-rounder is probably my old Petzl Tikka - not the brightest on the market but compact, durable and water  resistant.

How long does the battery last ?
It’s a good price isn’t it though

I treated myself to the Fenix 65 dual beam. Waterproof , rechargeable , 3 light level settings for the spot or the flood beam and simple battery indicator . Better than my previous Petzls I have to say.

I would let you plug into mine but I don’t think it’s long enough ?

Get a Coast headtorch. They are expensive, but the best. I have had loads of different makes. HL27 is an excellent all rounder, I have had mine for many years. Have just bought an HL8R for this winter and it is a beast. Extremely bright and the rechargeable battery seems to last 8-9 hours on full beam. I read that LED Lenser are the same quality so I bought one of those last winter, but it was rubbish compared to the Coast.

Olight are a good company with quality products but I cannot comment on the head torches but every thing else I have had is top drawer.

Best headtorch I've had, ally body, waterproof and magnetic charger to usb , worth the cost seems bombproof still ~two years in
