Thread: Head lamps

I’ve got a Nitecore hc35, which is a great light, albeit a little heavy and bulky for some folks. I also have a Petzl IKO, that I use for trail running. It is a weird looking contraption, but I really like it. Doesn’t move around at all while running, has plenty of light for running trails in the dark.

I've had a Fenix HM65RT trail running head torch for 3 years. Not cheap but really good - bright, long lasting, rechargeable.

Nightcore, never go back to led lenser

Looks pretty similar form to the armytech.
The one I have has a red light mode which is awesome for stealth mode when trying to get in position to shoot red skins!

I have a Zebralight since more than ten years now. Never had an issue and I use it very often (even several days per week in the workshop when I´m at the lathe or mill). Just recently I bought a backup and therefore had a closer look at the market.
It is the lightest headlamp on the market and it is the only lamp with no nonsense extras like a usb/c charger and so on.
A red light on a headlamp is certainly a good thing but I never felt the need for it.

Update time.

After reading everyones recommendations, I ended up getting a Petzl Actik for 70 bucks, and because it was well within my budget, I also took the chance to get a backup torch in the way of the Boruit for the crazy price of 16 dollars delivered.
Both working well so far, the Boruit is used daily for getting in cows so I can assess its abilities. so far so good.

Ive had a led lenser for over 10 years was still going no probs until I lost it. Just been using a cheapie energizer one from bunnings the last couple of years, still going no probs. Some people are fukn rough cunts on gear tho...
