I have the Nitecore Nu25 on Gerry's recommendation, it has been brilliant, I'd imagine other nitecores to be of similar quality. I've heard the sunblesa to be an equivelant and cheaper alternativce to the nu25

I have quite a few headtorches, including both versions of the NU25.
I'm my opinion, the Nitecore NUS 7 is a good step up from them.
I bought mine on aliexpress, but they are also available on Amazon.

Nu25 👌🏽👌🏽 had one many years and it's superb. So lightweight you can sleep with it on and not notice it but also very bright when needed.
I have another for longer range work, Nu33. Great headlight and really bright but too heavy/bulky to sleep with it on.

I bought one of these recently and have used it on a couple sessions.
It's nice.
Sensible light options, my only gripe with it being you need to put it on the correct way up to use the tilt function.

With my RidgeMonkey headtorch, it can swivel both ways and have on / off buttons on top and bottom.

Minor gripe though, it's so nice and light compared to the RidgeMonkey

Another vote for the sunblesa..... small, powerful and decent battery life. I got one after being recommended on here and its brilliant. Highly recommend

I use the sunblesa, fantastic torches. But you need two...
The light doesn't dim before the battery goes flat, the light just goes off.
This can leave you stuck, but having a spare ready to roll means you can still make a brew while the other is on charge.

Got the same, purchased years ago on the back of OG's recommendations, I have 2 so you are rarely if ever without light.
They've survived some torrential rain when I was last out inn Morocco and never let me down.

If you've got the early ones, the 1st gen, then the battery wasn't too good. You can msg sunblesa and they will send you new units to replace for free.
Are you sure?
