about ledpowerhouse, I'm still happy with their cheapest headlamp I bought last year : http://www.sea-angling-ireland.org/bull ... =7&t=41232

I think the discount code for the forum members is still valid.

2012 : whiting, dogfish, gurnard, flounder, smooth hound, poor cod, pollack, ballan wrasse, corkwing wrasse, goldshinny wrasse, blenny, bass, codling, rockling, dab, pouting, pollack, sea scorpion

save your self a lot of hassel and wait 2 weeks for one of these to come and you wont regret it,,trust me

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1800-Lumens-C ... TQ:GB:1123

buy the batteries and charger in all in link below from the same shop..just a bit of advice,maybe buy a pare pair of batteries cause this headlight is powerful,,shop around ebay or buy them off the same client etc

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2Pcs-UltraFir ... OC:IE:3160

enjoy and let me know what you think if you take this option,,i have never looked back

I cant say i have. I did contact them a while back about a headlamp to use as a spare and they were very good to deal with and answered any questions i had pretty quick. I ended up getting my own headlamp fixed so didnt buy but will do when the need arises.
