I think 2 x headtorches covers bases- Sunblesa does everything fishing wise. Sometimes need a more powerful beam when walking back to car or illuminating a spot /far bank to cast to and not stick it up branches lol.

I think you'll be happy with that I use the rechargeable CORE battery in my PETZL, but tbh they're a bit expensive if you don't use it much!

I really like my little Nebo head torch three brightness settings on white mode then a green and red mode with the added benifit you can remove the strap and clip it on the peak of your cap.

NEBO

This one is very good for the money. I paid £15 so worth looking around. https://www.ebay.com.my/itm/224229071916

I lost my petzel head torch and I just got 2 from Temu for less than £8 rechargeable and quite powerful a little bulky but I only need them to net a fish or outside the bivvy, if something happens,other than that I have my bivvy light to call on,I know they are from Temu but they do me and I always keep them charged before I go for a few nights.
I was out last week Tuesday to Friday and had the rods out in the water (difficult swim to fish from bank as it's surrounded by very tall reeds and over grown)so very handy for me if I have to go out in water at night for any reason.

Just picked up a new headtorch from Decathlon a couple of weeks ago and it's perfect. Why is it perfect, well because when you turn it on the 1st light is the red beam. So much better than scrolling though white to get to red. Having red first then the ability to change to white is a feature I have been looking for in headtorches plus at 26 quid usb charging it hits the mark

My ridgemonkey head torch has finally died had it since they very first came out & can't fault tbh
So
Apart from the SUNBLESA Gen2 H11 this is looking like the winner
Is there any other head torchs I should consider

Petzl, I've the Tactikka Core
Edit, very durable and long lasting, mines used for fishing, walking the dog daily through winter and various wildlife chores daily. I think the present one is 7 years old or more.

Another for the Nebo from B&Q. Compact, rechargeable and has a temporary boost function for the white light... in any of the 3 white modes just press & hold the light button for a couple of seconds.

There are 2 versions, is the more expensive one better?
