One of the on/off buttons on my Ridgemonkey HT broke in my bag this week. It still has one more on/off button... But I can't see that one lasting long either. I've got a bit sick of such a bulky head torch on my nut as well.

I was going to get another Energizer one... But ended up going for one of these, only as it goes into a little hard case, so in theory should not get broken in my bag. Ideal. Gets great reviews, 30 hrs runtime. Only £16.

Arrives tomorrow.

Just because it does it does not mean you have to use it in a fishing situation.These torches are clearly made for situations that they are needed or the person does need it due to health issues.If that person using it needs it and it keeps them able to go night fishing then so be it

Tbh short of having to flag down a passing cruise liner if your dinghy gets swept out to sea while fishing the river I really couldn't see any need for this in a fishing situation.
Of course you wouldn't have to use it on full power but you just know muppets will and do, just like the tufty torches laser pens and existing head torches.

If it helps me to night fish still I would use a search light to put my bait on.I know exactly what you're saying and there will always be idiots on the bank unfortunately

I think full power would only get used if one of those bow fishing outfits comes past.
That would surprise them!

But hopefully never as the f*ckers seem not to be around in recent years.

Just the white version. TBH, I wasn't aware there was any other.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
