I have owned and used most of them !!!!!!!

and yes the Nitecore nu25 is indeed the daddy BUT ONLY the people that have bought a Nitecore nu25 will know this until that moment they will THINK their current headtorch is the best

I will stick with my fenix,does everything I need it to.The run times on the nitecore are not that good but I suppose for most fishing situations it's fine

The run time is fine on the Nitecore, and if you have a busy night then just give it a boost the next day, we all have power packs to charge our phones or bivvy lights with a charger combined

I found the run times to be perfect ?

and as we dont use head torches in the day time after a couple of days you can just bung it in the car or on a power pack or bivvy light charger

Have you used / seen the nitecore nu32? Any reason for getting the 25 over the 32?

Well the Nu25 has 360 lumens and for my money thats perfect power output

the 32 has a much larger light output (( 550 Lumens ))
and of course bigger drain on the battery and I just donrt see the need for these stupid bright lights unless your trying to see a baitboat at over a hundred yards or something

After my Coleman headtorch died on me on my first outing of the year when the restrictions were lifted I came on here to see what was recommended.

I ended up getting the nitcore and have been thoroughly impressed. It's very small which I prefer and also the lock function to prevent it being accidentally turned on is a game changer for me. Charges quickly and I have topped up on bank with a power pack and wasn't too draining.

Agreed.

I've had a few head torches in my time and the Nu25 is by a long way the best I've owned, no carp tax too.

I spend a lot of time awake when its dark, and the red light function is a must for me when I'm doing admin.

NU25 here too, as recommended by a few here and particularly Gerry, if he recommends something it's worth taking notice.

NU25 here based on Gerrys recommendation. So good I bought a spare too! Plenty bright enough, light and battery lasts well. Maybe if I caught more that could be different!!

Petzel Tikka, 10/10, had mine for years, rock solid bit of kit, look no further

Recently bought an energizer one for work, complete crock of **** in comparison, battery life, utter rubbish
