Depends how bright you want. But if you want mega bright then check out what the beach fisherman use. Veals sea fishing website is a good starting point. However, I would endorse the previous poster. You want bright, but not so bright that planes try and land on your bivvy! Plus, it's good fishing etiquette not to upset other anglers by flashing a bright light all over the place.

Oldgeezer is spot on.
Last ages, light, and the red light is real helpful.
Can even recharge of your tech battery pack!!

I currently use a Petzl headtorch.
But i think i will take a look at the LEDLENSER range next time.
They're not cheap, but i've got a small ledlenser torch and it's excellent.

If you go for a led lenser go for a rechargeable model as the one I had ate batteries

I was fishing an 18 acre lake the other week and the people on the other bank were absolutely doing my tits in with ridiculously bright headtorches. They were like lighthouses, you could actually see the beams of light going into the sky and when they faced in my direction it was blinding. They were even using them to cast out, since when do you need to light up the whole lake to cast in the dark?

It's ridiculous, their night vision must have been completely ruined and it was massively annoying.

I completely agree I HAD 2 led lensers that I used to use on large French lakes to see where my bait boat was as I no longer fish in france and have sold all my bait boats
I got rid of them total pointless overkill for UK waters or rivers IMHO

In full agreement with the last two posts. Why does anybody need these ridiculously powerful lights for carp fishing, Beach fishing or any kind of fishing. Add lasers with ranges measured in kilometers to that, both in the hands of bored beered up numpties zapping swans, grebes and everything with feathers even in 12ft of water. Very dangerous for our sport.

I agree as well.
Remember the old Leisuresport handbook? it said something like no bright lights, dim torches only

Many a club book had a rule of "lights should not be visable in the next swim". These days some are visable in the next county...
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
