Head Torches

[2awesomenatives]

Can anyone recommend a really good head torch please.

Mine has died after about 3 years and they dont seem to have the same model anymore.

Lumilights are brilliant, can't recommend enough and you barely know you are wearing it. Got mine off Amazon, best I have ever had.

I have had two LEDLENSER headtorches, and they are brilliant (literally) - unfortunately my puppy chewed the first one into bits! This is the one I currently have (MH10), expensive yes, but I use it every single day doing the horses, and also find that it gives very good light when I'm at the sewing machine mending rugs - https://ledlenser.co.uk/products/mh...eMBAK_jQtuMuzC2849ajFwroK9-ya6OAqynBuwyADgDpH

15 quid for 2 rechargeable waterproof lightweight torches. Am using these this winter and they’ve saved lots in buying batteries for my other petzl headtorches.
Quick to recharge, they also have a softer surround light option that’s gentler than the spotlight beam, so when i’m near the horses at night i’m not accidently dazzling them with spotlight.

We have a house full of petzl ones.
Hubby likes to run after dark on rural footpaths and hasn't got hurt yet. Now the horses live out i use them daily and I'm really impressed at the output they give.

Petzl are my go to headtorches. I have a Tikka at the moment and I use it with rechargeable batteries.

Another vote for Petzl, used riding in the dark in a forest, mucking out when my electric has gone and going out into the field if dark.

I have two of these. They last a long time between charges and are bright enough to see a reasonable distance. Cheap and cheerful but do the job. Maybe a bit fiddly until you get used to the different colour options.

led lenser are supposed to be really good but I don't think they are waterproof. I got an Alpkit qark which is waterproof and has both a rechargeable battery but also can take triple As

Very similar to the Lumilight but more expensive.

I trail run and do Ultramarathons which often involve running through the night. My 2 favourites, based on comfort, weight, battery time and brightness are the
Fenix HM65R-T V2.0 and the Petzl Nao RL 1500L.

Neither are a cheap option but both perform brilliantly.
