Bulb for Petzl Zoom Headlight

#1 Post by CorkyMcgee »

Been away from angling for years and circumstances brought me back a few weeks backs and I'm delighted.
Getting ready for some night fishing when the lockdown finishes and I have this Petzl Zoom headlight but the screw in bulb is beat.
I'm having a bit of trouble sourcing a bulb and a replacement headlight seems to be around €80 for a good cree.
Hopefully someone knows where I can pick up a replacement screw in standard or halogen bulb, thanks

Try all your outdoor shops but Halogen bulbs are outdated at this stage. Can get a very good LED headlight for near nothing now.

I tried them Gearoid, time to move on. The choice is huge and going from €15 to € 100 in Murrays.
Any recommends for a good light for fishing ?

Similar to mine, never saw me wrong. Make sure it's a rechargeable one as you will go through batteries otherwise.

Thanks Gearoid, it has great reviews. Prob come down to a toss up between this and the MH10. Sound out.
