The sunblesa headtorch is lightweight and rechargeable. Great bit of kit.

Has to be the sunblesa for me, red, white and green modes, small and light, and rechargeable.

For cap wearers nitecore have one called the thumb which comes with a clip and weighs about 25grams.

It's got white main led and red underneath the head swivels so you can adjust, the lumen output is low but good enough for playing fish / tying rigs etc

Another recommendation for the sunblesa. So small can be worn around neck when sleeping saves fumbling about for one middle of night . Battery life is good and output is more than adequate.

I use the SUNBLESA H11
Rechargeable
Red, Green, White
Also I love the lock feature so it doesn't turn on when thrown in the bottom of my bag
Wear it around my neck when asleep, small, light, easy to use and most importantly it works!
👍👍

I've got the NU25 and find it is light, easy to use and being rechargeable very reliable.

Only criticism is the headband is HUGE. Even at its minimum setting if the adjuster slips ever so slightly in use ( and it does) it's too big. I got the wife to unpick the headband, take a piece out and re-sew it up and it's now sorted. I suppose if you've got a head like a moose it's OK out of the box.

Have you ever tried one of those beanies with leds in them? Curious about them.
Are you sure?
