Afternoon

Has anyone a idea of the difference between the NGT light & the Ridge Monkey Light, they look pretty similar?

Cheers Mark

The badge stuck on it, a slight shape difference and about 20 quid.

I've got both, the ridge monkey is far superior and well worth the extra £20.

I bought the NGT one first as, like most, I thought no way am I buying an expensive bivvy light and tbh It's a bit ****.

The magnet is weak and the light falls on the floor cracking the case every time the bivvy is knocked.

It's only got 4 settings, bright white, really ****ing bright white, dim red and I can see no reason anyone wants this, a flashing red.

The battery runs out really quickly.

Then I had some birthday money so bought a ridge monkey.

The magnet is super strong

It has varying brightness of red, white and a lovely green.

The battery last ages.

It comes with a handy little bracket that can be used to light up the swim if needed.

The only good thing about the NGT light is I now use the neoprene case it came in for my ridge monkey.

Hope that helps.

I got the Ridge Monkey one from TFT when they had 15% off and it has been great. I think it is the top one they do (mine has 3 colours with full brightness control and 4 x blue LED battery indicators)

I used it over winter and had it on pretty much from 5pm until the morning (switched to red when sleeping) and in the morning still had 3 LED's lit.

Only issue I have is the magnets are only in the 2 ends so can still drop away from the backing if you knock your shelter but it's pretty tough.

I'd be surprised if ridgemonkey and NGT make anything.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
