I have had more or less all of them over the years
at one stage I had 17 headtorches I liked collecting them at one Stage Petzl tactikka was the daddy the one with the swing down red filter but then technology moved on and new generation Leds came
out several versions you had the high power Ledlenser etc coming out
I bought the one thats a big favourite with professionals the super lightweight Nitecore NU25 its to me the perfect headtorch very simple to use rechargable with a very long run time and a fast recharge the very important red light function
none of this cycling thru all the light options to get the one you want when you switch on the power is bright enough unless your sending a baitboat out super lightweight I left mine on and sleep with it mostly
then the bought out a kinda copy of it and not only does it have the red light it has the green one as well the top one at the moment the SUNBLESA Gen2 H11
AND IF i DIDNT HAVE A HEADTORCH there are loads of great head torches BUT !!!!!!
I would buy this
LINKY POO
PS one I would not buy I tried on a pals one and FOR ME !! its way to bulky and heavy I hated the RidgeMonkey

I bought the Nitecore a few years ago after Gerry's recommendation, it's still going strong. As said, simple to use, lightweight, leave it round my neck at night, and it's yellow so you can find it if you drop 😂

Good recommendations Gerry as always.
I actually brought a LED Lenser Hf4R and it's brill....
Nice and light and powerful only if you need it.
Not cheap but decent

Had them all including several Petzls including the Tactikka which was top of the tree 15yrs ago . . also moved onto to LED Lenser and still use my HR7.2 for occasional 'annoy everyone / far bank illumination' use. Last few years have been using the Nitecore nu25 after Gerrys recommendation and its the best allrounder to date IMO - very compact / lightweight / comfy I leave it on my head to sleep with and I don't know its there half the time - also charges quickly, is easy to operate and is more than bright enough for most standard fishing applications . . .

There are so many out there and most are all very good ,
When i have to buy a new head torch its always LED Lenser , they just seem to last longer ,not just in power but also in construction.

I've got three slightly different Eveready head torches, each uses AAA batteries, are plenty bright enough for my needs (I'm not interested in illuminating the other side of the lake and annoying other anglers) and are very reasonably priced. Perfect for the job IMO.
Can't go wrong with fenix or led lenser

I opted for the Tikka core and it's brilliant! Super bright, Red LED, rechargeable or normal AAA batteries and nice and comfortable ......

I wanted a bright red headtorch, went for a fenix and it takes standard batteries.

Nitecore without doubt.
Nu25 is crazy light but also powerful, can happily sleep with it on and almost forget your wearing it.
Also got a more powerful one recently which is also great, nu40 I think it was.

Nitecore NU43 is superb too
