It's dried out fine mate, I think it's probably rust on the connectors that's done it. Only myself to blame, not complaining.

Hopefully this Sunblesa jobby is decent, saves me a couple of quid.

I'm now torn between the nightcore nu25 or the fenix hl32r. Does anyone have both?

Nitecore NU25 for general fiddling about in the hours of darkness, tying rigs, landing fish etc. Easy to use, red mode is great - and so light you don't know your wearing it . . .use this for 90% of session

Lenser HR7 (I have an older version) for casting in the pitch black, tracking baitboat at range, scaring coots on the far margin and generally pissing other anglers off by being silly bright. The ability to change from flood to a very focussed spot at range is useful . . .too uncomfortable to fall asleep with tho as the battery pack is on the back of your skull . .

Quick update on the SUNBLESA H11. It's not like the NU25, it IS the NU25. The case is slightly different, obviously from a different injection mould, apart from that identical. Same modes, same light, same power, same buttons, same everything. Cheaper packaging, different name on the strap, but the torch is the same... at half the price.
Win.

same as

but if its the same weight and lasts as long between charges and same light output power with the added benefit of a green light as well for half the price its a win win

I'm excited to hear how well the SUNBLESA H11 handles the washing machine

So do I go for the sunblesa or the nitecore.

Nightcore does look the better quality

Hi there,
Can't comment on the Nitecore but Ive had the Sunblesa a while and love it, that said I've not put it in the washing machine, I have however left it on the roof of my Bivvy during some torrential rain and it's none the worse for it's dowsing.
I particularly like the red light with 2 levels, the green a is nice bonus although I can't say I've used it much and the two levels of white light seem good enough for most situations, the head band is comfortable and easily adjusted, all in all I like it.
Cheers
Tel
