Take you word for it Gerry

Been a tight person, my motto, if it's not broke, don't even attempt to fix it

Same here. When my one finally breaks I'll come back on here to see what's best

Just went out in the dark with my Energizer Vision Ultra HD Rechargeable.
On the stand white: Wow what a light, on the green setting it gives more than enough light to illuminate your fishing spot in the dark.

I must admit i prefer my fenix head torch as well. I bought a nu25 after all the hype from people on here just to see why everyone says its so good and its a half decent little compact head torch that lights up like any other head torch on the market but other than that its nothing special. Its just another cheap looking plastic head torch. I prefer the all aluminium construction of my fenix head torch. At the end of the day they are both just boring head torches and definitely nothing to get excited about. It will be a sad day if I ever start getting excited about a head torch, a new car or a holiday to the Maldives mebees but i certainly wont be nursing a semi over a head torch!

Agree, I got an nu25 after seeing everyone raving on here. Its decent but nothing incredible imo.

Sounds like I'll be sticking with my energizer for now then.
I'm getting wary of the flavour of the month products on here tbh, between a wobbly tripod, toppling stove and a sleeping bag with an inner skin held in place by a strand of cotton I might aswell look at carp ology reviews

I've got a Petzl Zipka that's the one with thin elastic strap.
I wear it like a wrist watch most of the time which is more comfortable and I can put around my head within a couple of seconds.
I've got an older version but this is the latest version. It's not the brightest but I hate bright lights.
I also have another headtorch with a red lens but that only gets used for close up work in the middle of the night which I try to avoid.




Bonus is with it on your wrist, turned on and arm extended you can do a good Buzz Lightyear impersonation with it.

Nothing, it's a headtorch. All it needs to do is light up so no need to spend anywhere near that kind of money. A little £5 job from b and m will do, or a lower end petzl. The more expensive ones are too bright imo

Even 100 lumen is more than enough for most when fishing, but if you cannot tolerate white light in the dark it becomes a different story, waterproof is also important when winter fishing.
