One of the Sofirn headlamps I've heard so much about- feels much better having a rechargeable light. What I didn't expect is it to have such a pleasant colour, it's kind of a warm yellow, looks more like daylight than any other LED light I've used.
They’re good aren’t they? :)

The D25L high colour rendition that runs an included 18650 battery for $15.99 delivered? Amazing value, I’m very pleased with mine.

Do you have a link for that please?
I do :)


While you‘re on, check the BLF (BudgetLightForums) LT1 lantern. Really decent battery lantern designed by absolute nitpicking torch aficionados. We use one in the campervan, and as bedside lamps at home, can even adjust the cool white to warm white.

That's the one. Impressively bright. It'll be interesting to see how long the battery lasts on the different settings. Should've ordered a spare battery with it though

They wouldn’t be able to send it I don’t think. Installed is fine, but it can be a problem if it isn’t. Get a Molicell from Fogstar, only battery company I fully trust as they deal mainly with high draw vape cells, batch test them, and are very aware of the potential dangers of lithium batteries. Shop on Fogstar Friday for a better deal ;)

I've been thinking about one myself since you posted the heads up. What tint would be better, I gather 4000k is yellower than 5000k?

Also, I've not ordered much direct from the US, do you ever get problems?

Are these not actually shipped from Chy-Na in the end?

They do come from China as TeeDee suggests. Takes a couple of weeks and never any problems. There is an official Sofirn Amazon UK store called 77Outdoor but I find their prices pretty high by comparison.

4000k is warmer, more like an incandescent bulb. If your usage is woods and fields it’s a good option as it shows greens and browns. 5000k is still warmish/neutral and good all rounder too.

A new Squirrel Trap from Ebay. I suppose I could have kept the old one but is was so rusty.
