Where do you keep your head torch when you are asleep? Is it safe to keep it on your head? Is there a risk the battery could over heat/explode?

Personally I have always worn mine around my head whilst sleeping and never had any issues.

Lay it on my footwear (crocs usually) by the side of my bedchair. So when i get a take in the Night and go to slip my shoes on, I wont miss it! Works a treat for me.

I wear mine around my neck so it's super quick to deploy if I get a bite, works for me 👍

It's impossible to put a zipka on your head one handed.

Mine lives in the car now.

Leave mine on my head. A PIA scratching about in the dark for it otherwise.

Put mine on my bucket along with my glasses next to my bedchair , grab them both whilst slipping the crocs on - works for me 👍

Double it over and wear it around my left wrist.... can put it on with one hand while playing a fish easily enough.

Never felt comfortable with it around my neck, i always used to manage to get the light between my head and pillow.

Either put mine in my pocket or hang it up on a hook by the door, although 9 times out of 10 i dont bother using it until I've actually netted the fish!
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
