| Re: headtorch? new on the market not been out very long at all . The LED LENSER made by optoelectronics costs £44.99 its called the head fire duplex (night vision) and here there website Zweibrüder Optoelectronics what i liked about it was how bright the single light is and its got a secondary led which is red and will aid in unhooking fish on the bank with out them thrashing around because you have dazzle them with a white led light . angling direct in norwich has them i highly reccomend it best head light i have ever had .  tightlines kevin  |

| Re: headtorch? thanks kev, what sort of range do you think the LED has? also what sort of area is covered by the light? i have found multi LEDs give you a nice wide area for working in and a single 1 gives you more of a spot cheers __________________ Bens The Name And Catchings The Game Anti the Anti's |

| Re: headtorch? I like my Tiga. Had it 8 years and only just replaced the bulb,not to good for Clear water bass fishing as it is very bright but great for iluminating the beach on those dark winter nights. Oh i also love to see maghouses face as he gets blinded everytime i turn to chat with him  __________________ One day i will post a catch report again. |

| Re: headtorch? The 2 things that I think are My most important points are 1.Common batteries- AA or AAA 2.The lens doesn't protrude past the body of the lamp(doesn't glare on your face/nose) See how the clear lens sticks out from the body...Energizer.com - Products - Flashlights This flashlight would put out soo much glare it would drive me nuts. I've got this one,( Princeton Tec Aurora LED Headlamp ) it was a lot less on sale. __________________ A bad day fishing is better than a good day working!

| Re: headtorch? Thats the price on mail order stuff. A mail order Co. only has to charge state sales tax if they have a brick&mortar building in That state. Postage is kinda costy and I'm afraid your Post Ofc. would open it and charge you UK VAT too.  I was reading the regs a while back, They even charge VAT on used clothing if they "appear new".
