I completely Agree the Nitecore NU25 rechargeable head torch, as recommended on here is the daddy I showed my pal the recommendations on here and he bought one when we went fishing

and I saw it in the flesh I was blown away MOST head torches these days are very good I know I got most of them lol
so I bought one my self and I prefer it 360 Lumens using the power of a CREE XP-G2 S3 LED. A built-in Li-ion battery pack keeps the NU25 running for extended periods of time, and can be easily charged up using any micro USB compatible power source.

The top of the light features an LED power indicator that lets you know when it's time to charge, and a lockout mode will help keep the light deactivated while in your tackle bag

over ANY of my Led lensers.Fenex,Petzel,Coleman,Energiser, 4 different Cree lamps So I do have or had most so I can give a decent honest opinion
Trust me go buy yourself a Nitecore NU25 rechargeable head torch, especia;;y if like me you sleep wearing it

Another plus is the fact that the torch itself pops off the "mount" easily, so if you have 2 you can swap them out to charge them and still have one in use.

The battery life is not very good,does it switch back on to the setting you switched it off at.I hate headtorches where you have to scroll through the settings every time you switch it on.

Battery life is fine, where did you get that from?

Two buttons one for red, one for white.
Both start dull every time and step through to brighter.

Ah yes it was Gerry who pointed me in the Nitecore direction, I got the yellow one so easier to spot in the night rather than carpy green and another plus is, after 3 seconds on a setting it's just a single press to turn off

Got it from the run time stated.Also no memory when switch off/on which for me is something that would stop me buying one.I like it to come back on the brightness I turned it off at,less pissing around

I did 3 nights took my normal phone charger battery pack expecting to have to charge it but it was fine
also I do know what you mean about having to ponce abouty to get your setting but its certainly NOT the case with this lamp as even the so called low light is very bright ! and simpy press it to get get brighter love the fact its got 2 buttons for red or whit and simple one touch to turn on or off the turbo mode is silly bright and I have not found any need for it as yet
I said its the daddy m8 ?

He may do but for me this is not the best option.I prefer my fenix headtorches they do everything I want them to and have stood upto alot of abuse.

I got a Fenix but never use it now

as mine does not have the red light option and I hate my natural night .vision being messed up and of course in the summer you get bombarded with insects with any white light

I took someone's suggestion the other month and bought one of the newish Energiser rechargeable. Decent range of settings and also offers green or red light. Personally I find the green preferable to the red for saving my night sight and it also appears to cast the green light further than the red.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
