. . .yawn - its got nothing to do with being 'carpy' . . .its got to do with lake etiquette and having respect for other anglers . . as well as potentially not scaring every fish in the vicinity to the darkest corners of the lake . . .if the OP wants to buy 10 bivvy lights fairplay each to their own . .

As I said - winter campaign, I get it - no one wants to sit in the dark from 4pm till dawn the next day . . .rest of the season, a bivvy light is not really necessary . . .IMO

A mallet .. only used once
And a set of compact bite alarms , small defect , no on/off switch
And a motion sensor lcd light that clips on the door 55000 lumens

Standard day ticket tackle there
Have you also got the million candle spotting light on a pivot stand to light up the far bank?

It has everything to do with being Carpy to a % out there. Yes it is everything to do with etiquette something that is lost on some of the newer anglers.
Personally I couldn't give a monkey's about head torch use etc because I know from experience that lights at night have next to no impact on the fish (unless you are fishing under your feet)

As for light use in a bivvy again I couldn't give a ****, no matter how close it will have no impact on my angling. TBH i dont ever come across any of this because I'm on a syndicate with like minded members (excellent etiquette) and the water is of a size where you would need a couple of full beam headlamps to hit any other bank. It's no doubt a big problem on day tickets due to the quality of angler they attract hence the use of the word etiquette (I thank the Lord I never have to fish those places)

Ref your final point about not needing a bivvy light, thank your lucky stars you still have 100% eyesight and dont need said light, some aren't so lucky.

There's a few more 50's now, you made the right decision to get banned/ wait.
I see you finally sold the Nash Tip Tops and have had a Face Ache relaunch, beautiful.


Nice to have you back.

Well....After all that turns out the old ridgemonkey wasn't lost, just rolled up in the bivvy and would you believe it? I needed it badly as i'd forgot my head torch and caught a fish about 10.30pm.
