headtorch advice

[Preston]

I know this topic has beenprobably dogged to death but here goes . Ive read the previous topics about cree lights etc but im looking for something with a quick delivery time good light output and decent value around the 50 euro mark . I seen the led lensers and am tempted but this looks good too http://www.pixmania.ie/ie/uk/8996723/ar ... djust.html . Im currently using the energiser one but dont find it bright enough at 35 lumens. Any advise would be great lads cheers !

The led lenser is a good buy. The wire at the back can come loose with time but will be repaired for free if it does happen. The newer ones built with the reinforced wire i think. The battery life isnt brilliant but not bad either. You will easily get a 4/5 hour session unless its on full power constant and there is no need for that. The lowest setting is plenty for watching tips.
The non rechargable is a better buy and is slightly brighter i think. Just get 2 sets of batteries and a charger and they do the same job. Halfords in mahon stock them. Ring for a.price. Saw them ages ago and they came with a free torch.

Cheers Red . Never thought of Halfords I seen one in Cork Angling for Forty euro allright.

What i meant to say was maplins in blackpool stock the led lensers. I got the 2 shops mixed up. Apologies if i sent you on wild goose chase.

No bother mate . Ill price them up now

Just rang there 57.99 for a headfire powertip pro and 80.99 for the h7 ... Seems expensive

I paid around €50-€55 for my h7r over 2 years ago. They hardly jumped that much. Shop around id say.

Hi lucky , Are you referring to the ansmann or led lenser ? The Scotsman has a cree and the beam is savage even better than the led lenser the only thing thats holding me back is I dont want to be waiting for it as Im hoping to do a fair bit of fishing over the next month before baby arrives .

[Preston]

Cheers for all the advice just picked up a shiny new led lenser h7 for 55euro . maplin were charging 80 but good to see Irish companies can still compete and outdo these larger uk outfits. Ill be also ordering a cree for backup .
