Has anyone got the new N25 400 lumen and the old N25.Was just about to get one and didn't realise they had a new one out. Just wondering if the new one is any better or do I just stick with the original.

"Miles better"
I just looked ...it not better at all, why do you think that?
No point in saying it and not explaining why.

***** headtorch
behave ! 1200 lumens just stupidly bright ok if your trying to see your baitboat at 200 yards
but no need or point in a normal fishing situation

the NU25 is the perfect balance so super lightweight and simple to use Ive owned and used almost every headtorch available over the [past 50 odd years of night fishing Fenex Led lensers Pezel Snap on coleman energiser you name it Ive probable used it
and can honestly say the NU25 is the perfect head torch

I left my nitecore out for 2 or 3 days in the heavy rain last week. By accident I left it
On the bonnet of my fishing wagon. Up against the garage.

I'm.glad to report no ill effects.

I have the NU and the Sunblesa which is almost identical, for me the Sunblesa is a tad better as it also has 2 power green light plus red, and I prefer the green.

lately there seems to be some kind of contest for the brightest, most powerful and usually most expensive headlamp, often well over a £100, they are the bane,,[one of them ] of my life, I carry a pack of small files now, and offer to give them to the more inconsiderate "lampers", the usual reply is "why do I need a file?"

the reply is " to file all the rough edges off that ###### lamp, 'cos if you shine it into my eyes one more time, I'm gonna shove it up yer backside"

apologies to the considerate users of headtorches.
but I'v spent most of my life moving about at night with nothing but my eyes,
I remember when carp fishing was more of a "covert" operation, on some waters you'd think there was a search for escaped prisoners in deepest Alabama.

I feel the same, there are times when there is no moon and cloudy sky so you can't see your hand in front of your face. Then I use a red light. I only use a white light to read inside the bivvy. Most of the time you can play and land fish in the dark, if you have let your eyes adjust to it which takes at least 20 minutes without a bright white light.
