At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

h7 Headlamp

#1 Post by Trojan »

Just a quick post for anybody who is looking for a new headlamp i got one of these there the other day and its the best bit of gear i have bought this year for the price and quality.It has a 3 Watt 140 lumen LED which can be focused to give a beam of up to a claimed 528'. It is powered by 3 x AAA bateries (supplied) and has a run time of up to 75 hours (depending on power mode).I have a silva light that cost me twice what i paid for the h7(€40) and its no were near as bright.There are cheaper lamps like the energizer which are fine but for the extra few bob id certainly recommend the h7.

I have the h5 i think, - it is quite hard on batteries, although i am perfectly happy with it - lightweight and a comfortable fit. Love it. only paid 25 euro for it though

Just taken delivery of an H7R - haven't used it in anger yet but very impressed by the brightness and beam quality. It's also very small and light and seems to be well made.
