Agreed. Some nice touches like it switches off after being on a setting for a short while instead of having to cycle through, but other than that it's no better or worse than the £15 ones I've been using for a while.

I'm getting wary of the flavour of the month products

Same here

Always better to wait for the Mk5 version

Just to add to my previous comment that the Nitecore NU25 is decent at best, last night I put it through the wash (doh!) and it's still working perfectly. Has to be worth a few marks that does.

Nitecore NU25 for me too...
I didn't think. I really needed another headtorch as my petzl has been brilliant for years,
but I only use the Nitecore rechargeable now, the separate buttons for red and white and the sequence of brightness for the white light (3 stages up to the brightest) are really well thought out. And it is unbelievably lightweight.
Very happy.

Another nitecore nu25 here, I brought one that I didn't need on the backnof gerry recommending it and all the praise people had given it.

It's amazing it doesn't blind you or light up the whole lake it's comfortable to keep on your head at bed time it's just perfect thanks for the reccomndation now if I could find a rod pod that performed so well all round I'd be a happy man and less out of pocket lol

Do people really sleep with a head torch on? That would give me a headache. Just wear it round your neck.

Or get a Petzl Zipka and wear it like a watch.

I am still very happy with my Energizer Vision Ultra HD Rechargeable, price/quality top.
I might buy Nitrocore someday if they have a separate green lamp modes

nah I don't sleep for that long







Ok ok, i wear it on my head all night, but not switched on although saying that, on low output the energizer would last all night easily

I was also amazed to see a facebook post, the amount of people that sleep wearing boots/shoes

Head torch on and ready to go even when asleep. I've always done it
