think i need to catch up with this new technology. i keep scorching my hands

 

[newtothis]

I had a really rotten head torch, I was in TLC the other and impulse purchased this one

8.95 plus vat, really pleased with it. It works with my enloop rechargeble batteries, comfy to wear, and I find it gives enough light so I don't feel the need for addtional lighting in lofts,dungeons etc. I defy anyone to find fault with it. :sunny:

hmmm, I think anyone in the business of selling electrical products and tools could do a lot worse than advertise on
this forum. I'm saying that cos I've spent quite a bit after reading about stuff on this forum.

Well of course you are right, it is most valuable piece of kit for any Electrician, use mine daily, battery's don't last very long.

got similiar one, absolutly knackered after couple of years daily use, still works (stopped once,broken wires inside, repaired it myself)
rechargeable AA`s is a must have, around 2-3 hours runtime on full brightness....

Also essential in Power Cuts also, as I can vouch

not a headtorch, but those are nice:

runs on rechargeable AA`s too, got a kind of bracket to stand it on, hook for hooking in the lofts or cupboards and a magnet at the back.
its a tenner, value for money.

ive been using a unilite one, bought it over a month ago.

its supposed to last over 100 hours.

i used an led lenser h7 for a few years and it was fine till the dial broke my only gripe is the batteries can be drained really quick on high

 

[colshaws]

i got mine off ebay. it's not usb charge, but the charger plugs into the unit without removing the battery. and it's fantastically bright.

Thanks Teletrix, just bought one of these and I am really impressed very bright and a nice balanced feel on my head.

Petzl IMO, lensers to bright cause a lot of Glare. got both never use the lenser horrible

 

[shanky887614]

mayfair, the lensers are variable brightness.

i went for a unilite for the battery life from a lenser h7

 

[Christian1981]

I got a petzl pixa 3 online from all batteries.co.uk great light

I use this and can't fault it as of yet. So another vote for the Lenser.
