    Not all head torches are made equal.
    Oh so you do, haha my bad. Looking for a head torch suitable for outdoors, camping etc. Something thats bright but not too heavy. PM if you have anything you can suggest.

    Cheers

    I like my Ledlenser because I can focus the beam, and battery life is good.
    I like my Black diamond because the battery life is awesome, IIRC it's 70hrs on full power, but it has way too many settings and I can't remember how to get to them all.

    Unfortunately Led lenser over price and under perform. Had 4 of them, and was continually taking them back to the shop with faults.

    The suite of cheap chinese headlamps do actually outperform them in the cost and robustness stakes, and hey! you would have to buy 6 of them to equal the dosh you throw down for an expensive Led lenser. They also permit you to standardise on the type of rechargeable battery you run.

    I have found the Olight button to be finicky compared to the Nitecore.

    You can set charcloth alight with just about any of todays high powered torches.
