👍👍I've had them for at least 5 years and they've served me well, I always have the one I'm not using charged up or on charge when fishing, never let me down.
Considering how long I've had them I'd feel a bit of a fraud asking for FOC replacements, so I'll continue as is for the time being, but thanks for the heads up, maybe I got lucky with the batteries in mine.

You can tell if you have the 2nd gen if you do this...
Using the right hand button, it should cycle through low green, high green, high red.
The 1st gen had high and low red, and low green, but not sure in which order.

I’m currently looking for a rechargeable head torch.
I’ve seen from the previous posts the Sunblesa H11 gen 3 is popular.
AI has also suggested Simond Forclaz HL500, it’s a big heavier but lasts a lot longer.
Any suggestions on the above and also are there any Nitecore head torches around a similar price (under £25/30) that are recommended?
Thanks

How long do they tend to last from a charge?
Thanks

I dont leave it on continually so hard to say.
I always have two with me so one is a back up and one is being used.
I have just done four nights and the first torch was still going strong.
Also used two for a week in france and they lasted fine with no recharge.
It's hard to tell how much charge they have left but they have always lasted ok.
I have marked the case so I know which is which, and I rotate them each sesh.

Sounds good enough to me.
I’ll save the extra money and go with them.

Energizer headtorches always been good for me.

I’ve ordered the Gen 3.
I also order the Sunblesa bivvy light so I’ll see what that’s like, reviews online seemed good.

Of all my headtorches the Sunblesa has the least capacity. Maybe I got a dud but I find myself recharging it every session.
The green ridgemonkey one that TFT do as a 'special' is my favourite. Same features/usage as the old rectangular block one, but a bit smaller.
NGT Profiler is OK, but also not great on battery
p.s. I tend to hate RidgeMonkey stuff so it hurts saying the headtorch is good!

Battery on my bivvy light is really good. Tend to only charge it about 3 times a year, either off the boat battery, or power bank if I’m fishing off the barrow, takes about an hour or so.

My son bought me a little rechargeable head torch from a company called Nebo and it has been excellent 👌🏻
Very small and light and comfortable to wear whilst sleeping, as I do.

I’ve got a Sunblesa 2, had it a few years and it’s never let me down, straps a bit tatty but I’ll live with that.
Then last birthday my other 1/2 got me a Flextail Tiny HELIO 600Z which I’m warming to.
It does a great job, white light, red light varying levels of brightness, but I still prefer my old Sunblesa, probably because I’ve used it for years and know exactly how it works.
If it packed up tomorrow I’d by another one, but I’ve now got the flextail so need to stop lamenting the past and move on 😂😂😂😂
