Hi I'm going night fishing Saturday for the first time and I need a headtorch. I don't want to spend more then £15. What's the best one on amazon for the money please?

*sorry completely forgot to state I would like one that is rechargeable please*

Pop down to the supermarket and grab an Energizer one mate. About a tenner I think.

I bought 2 x Akale headtorches from Amazon, one in 2016 and one in 2017 (one for me, one for my lad). They are excellent, really bright, and rechargeable. I've had loads of battery operated ones, including Energizer ones, most of them the battieries have leaked inside (arguably my fault though). Some of them, the hinged light has come loose. Think I broke one when trying to open the battery compartment. The Akale ones were about £8 each. Unfortunately, can't see them on Amazon any longer, but I'd definitely go for a rechargeable one, there's loads on Amazon.

No idea why it's not working, the link works perfectly when I paste it into a browser.

I paid out for a Ridgemonkey. Mainly as the full beam high is handy for at night in a boat (beaming up reflective tape on markers).

My mate got this Energiser one from Amazon... It has the exact same 400 lumen beam... Lithium/USB... £19. It's pukka. This will be my next head torch. To be fair the Ridgemonkey is very good, it's just expensive. Virtually twice the price of this one.

yes the Everbeam H6 Pro looks a decent lamp if you got prime you will get it in plenty of time too

but if you bought the 2 pack ones and one went flat at least you would have a back up
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
