I'm looking for a new head torch and I think I've narrowed it down to the Led Lenser mh6 or the fenix HL 32r. Anyone have any experience with these?

I had a led lenser and got rid,it was bulky and ate batteries.I have two Fenix and they are very well made,I have a rechargeable one and it lasts for ages.The other Fenix runs off two types of batteries a single aa or cr123a.There is a nitecore one that alot of people on here really rate

I have had a few from cheap Energizers to expensive Fenix which are all good but I find the best fishing one is the Nitecore, purely for the fact it is so small and light and can be worn round the neck while sleeping without noticing it, also has a red option and it's rechargeable

I like the fact the Fenix are so well made,the nitecore just seems to be cheap plastic but could be wrong

I just ordered one of these after I put my NU25 through the wash
Same specs half the price
If it's any good I'll let you all know.

No you are pretty much spot on, but in it's defence the Nitecore is a tough plastic, it's tiny and lightweight and totally adequate for a fishing situation, if my life depended on it however I would chose the Fenix every time

I've had a look at them and yes they are probably good but a bit like alot of others. What fenix ones do you have?

Ah yes, it's the HL60R that I have , I couldn't remember which one it was

I've also remembered why I don't particularly like it for fishing, IIRC the red option isn't very bright, the white however is mental on full blast

Even I'm not that cheeky Gerry. In fairness it carried on working for a week or so but then started dying. My bad.
Are you sure?
