Head Torch Recommendations

[Commando]

I'm after a new LED head torch. Nothing too bulky but must be bright. Dimmable would be handy.

Any recommendations appreciated.

Olight fits the description. Down side is relatively short runtime on full beam.

I don't use it continuously for long lengths of time more walking the dog and locking up in the evening but would say nearer 2 hours than the claimed 3 on full beam. This is for the H15S. Can easily test if you want.

I have 2 of the Petzl Pixa,very hard wearing and can be clipped onto Petzl helmets.

I just bought one with one Cree led very bright last 3 hrs on full brightness 6 on half which is all I need. Best bit is £12 plus vat. I will find the link if your interested. It's obviously Chinese but feels quality and if it gets crushed or lost its cheap.

I got one from Cluson, led bulb you can see for miles, says it will do 18hrs on full beam, 24 on dipped.

 

Awesome bit of kit

Hi PIE Pete they do some very lightweight ones to like industrial ones I've seen like potholing ones you do a great range and there is some very cheap ones on eBay for about 10 to 12 quid which are great too thanks John

My mate gave me a night searcher. Has a little battery pack and can be dimmed as well. Unbelievably bright as well
