What I find most amusing about the above ( and I'm sure its a good headtorch in itself ) is that they have included Crenulations on the torch normally found on Tactical lights and the such , I guess a Glaswegian kiss with that thing is certainly going to have an impact.

crenellations are also useful for letting a little light out if you place the torch lens-down.

the mythical skull-crusher use is, I think, um, mythical

Or this http://www.heinnie.com/led-lenser-xeo-19-rechargeable if you must spend c£300

I've got the led lenser xeo x19r. Didn't cost 300 thou. 220. But without doubt my favourite torch it's the petzl nao. I was so impressed with the nao 1 I had to have the nao 2 when it came out. I use it for night trail running camping,walking and anything in-between. The reactive lighting is amazing and the battery really lasts on this setting

I bought the basic Lidl headtorch a few years ago and it still works fine and only on its second set of batteries

I intend to get a couple more when they are on sale again

I bought one (and almost immediately a second) from Wilko's last year...1 Red LED and 2 White, runs on 3 AAA batteries and is not overly hard on the batteries. They were basically bought as backups but they are basically the only ones I use now......£3 a piece.

Very happy with my Petzl Tikkina2

I am happy with mine too, good enough to find the car keys that fell out of my pocket one dark night anyway.

I was lucky on ebay, picked up a new Princeton Tec Vizz for a tenner.

I seem to use mainly Princeton Tec when it comes to head torches Whitby and co stock a huge selection to choose from.

I owned a priceton tec head torch and I loved it until the day it broke. the battery compartment cover is a week point. mine broke in a carry on bag on a flight. if you get one it may be work getting a container for it

I just got a Petzl xp headtorch.....been looking for a while as I've only ever used cheap ones but really need a better light when out at night with my black lab whose eyesight is failing!
I got the orange colour which is the same as the others, but was £26 instead of £38! Will probably be easier to find as well......

It arrived today and could instantly tell the build quality but I can't work out how to get the red beam on. I press various sequences and the only red beam is a slight flicker for a few seconds, which happens when I (think) change to red. Not sure if it's me not knowing how it's properly used or it's damaged and needs to go back. Any ideas??
