I've never been bitten by mossies using a red light. As soon as I used a white light to read by I got bitten to f&#$k. I always thought they found their prey by carbon dioxide exhaust from breath. Just my personal experience.

I use the Led Lenser MH6 headtorch.
Very decent little piece of kit!
It's compact, powerfull and you can use both the provided rechargable battery or take it out and put 3 AAA batteries in.

I've had the head torch in the link for around 4 years now and it's been brilliant. It can be low light or really bright. The battery lasts well off a single charge. It's really lightweight too. I'd highly recommend.

Just ordered a Nitecore Nu25 from https://gb.lightmalls.com/
£22.35 delivered, can pay through paypal so covered if something amiss, any problems will let you know.
Think that includes a £2 black friday discount.

I have two NGT rechargeable head lights. Green Red and white good length of use a (a few hours) and excellent lighting.
Pretty comfortable to wear and at £12 a piece well worth it.

Another vote for the ngt lamp. I have a couple of retina melting lamps for on the rocks but use these little rechargeable ones for wading and fresh. green, red and white all have a couple of light levels and last forever on low.

Agreed.. I have one in my tackle bag and a spare left in the car. Always carry a portable charger for my phone so can always charge the torch up. Great piece of kit.

The one in your link looks like a newer model of the one I have, never need it on full power, the moveable head means you can put the light where you need it, runs on 3 AAA batteries, I bought some recharchable ones with a high MAH rating, apart from my other one with adjustable red or white light it does me

I think having a few in your armoury helps.

I have the LED Lenser MH10 & the H14R, both rechargeable and both very power full, some petzel, energiser, fox halo etc that ive had for years.

Would not be without the LED lenser types for anything for some of big French lakes, just in a different league, you have to clip on the red lens though that's the only bit of messing if your bothered, but i cant see what im doing with the red light on so a bit pointless for me.

Yes been infested with mozzies and moths at night but my reading glasses help here.

The other "normal" ones are ok round the bivvy and keeping the light levels down if needed, plus you can keep these round your neck .


As above you need a mixed bag.

Anyone ever had/used the LED Lenser MH6 Rechargeable Headlamp?

Looking at getting a new headtorch myself aswell and it looks a decent bit of kit for 40 quid

The energiser ones are very decent for the money, but I find the batteries don't last particularly long. I have the 300 & 400 lumen versions for my barbel fishing and both cost well under a tenner. But always carry spare batteries if you subject them to regular prolonged use
