save yourself the 8.99 Lazycod ... I had one and you'd be doing well to read a book in the dark with it never mind thread a hook ... I didnt find the light to be great at all

While I was going through a UK site similar to this one I came across a product evaluation by Mike Thrussell. This is the lamp and if you scroll down the page the write-up is included.

Might be worth considering.

shipping (international) is £32 stg!!! :evil:

looks like a good light but that pushes the price way up.

I highly recommend the Silva L1, if you dont want to spend the ton on it though do a search on Ebay for Luxeon. The Silva L1 has a 3 watt Luxeon Led, but Luxeon Led headlamps are available on ebay much cheaper.

Tiga sl85 brialliant but expensive. Best headlight in the market, very light headpiece and battery which also has a long life.
