I would highly recommend the sunblesa headtorch. Light, small and numerous options. Rechargable too so can always do so on the bank with a power pack.

I have seen some advertised recently with various companies that the LEDs are incorporated in to the headband so no bulky light on the front. No idea if they'd be any good for fishing as the angle wont be adjustable

Nitecore NU25.

Brought one after recommendations on here and not been disappointed.

It's minimal, bright enough with different settings and battery lasts well.

Can't fault it.

Cheers people and keep them coming......

ive just had to deal with nitecore China as I bought my nu25 off amazon, I contacted nitecore uk and they said its nothing to do with them as I bought it off amazon. I had to pay 15 dollars for a replacement as mine went faulty after 6 months,failing to charge,maim beam coming on when charging..I paid the 15 dollars and nitecore instructed a dealer in China to dispatch one...3.weeks on and it currently in the Netherlands according to the tracking number.
if you buy a nu25 try and buy from a UK shop and not amazon

I had great customer support from Sunblesa, I had two of the gen1 torches, when they brought out the gen2 the battery life was massively improved.
They sent me two new gen2 torch units (using my old straps and brackets) to replace the old ones. Free of charge!

I've always been a Petzl user, presently a Tactikka, on average they last me about 10 years and thats with daily use in winter walking the dog. Come to think of it I've never had a failure, usually its me breaking them.
I also tried 1of the energisers iirc Gerry recommended them a few years back. Its a good head torch, the Mrs uses it everyday near enough. It doesn't have the same build quality and the strap is thinner, but it does what it does well and hasn't failed yet.

Petzl Tikka (spelling) not seen or used anything as good as the Petzl, got one of the Nitecore and the on/off is fiddly in comparison albeit a more compact torch unit. Will happily use my Petzl for another 6yrs if possible or until it dies - then buy another. Buy cheap, buy twice or even more.

Petzl for me 👌

Sunblesa has done me well the last 2 years and still going strong. Rechargeable, compact, lightweight and more than enough brightness in white, red or green mode for most fishing situations. Battery lasts me at least 10 nights before i do a courtesy charge, although I do use it in low red light most of the time.

I have always been a petzal user (and they are good) until last year when I got a ridgemonkey vhr300. And have to say I'm impressed with it. It's a more bulky and heavier that the petzal, but it is rechargeable and much brighter and comfortable to wear.

I also got the Nitecore one based on recommendations on here. Don't really like it, not very comfy, don't like the strap and the head comes away from the strap too easily.

Cheers people.......going to get Petzl Tikka Core.....
