Thread: Head torches

My Maxtoch has been great, but one of the kids screwed off the non battery end, and the switch wires are broken.

Funny this thread. My ledlenser dropped its bundle the other night when out for hunt in some new bush. I thought “fu$k me” this could be a night in the bush here! Had shot a deer with about 1/2 hour light left. Went like a cut cat on a marked track. Fell off it after a while as couldn’t see. Then remembered my phone. On with the phone torch (which was shit but better than nothing). No moon so black as inside of a cow. Grovelled to road end cut and scratched up then mate who said he would pick me up at 9pm was not about. Started walking and walking. Stopped. Looked at a few WhatsApp clips of dubious quality. Kept walking and he turned up at 10pm as phone was about out of battery. Fun times!

Have the MH10 Lenser. Excellent thrower and flood and not too heavy.

I have this one and definately like it. Good selection of brightness, battery indicator, small enough. Would have liked a red light but not the be all and end all for me. I was probably swayed by my discount with SAR though.

Thanks heaps! Went with cyanskyhs65r, seems like real good value!

If you are sensitive to Tint Shift then it may be worth looking for opinions on how troublesome this aspect is for the LED in the particular torch you are considering.

The reason I carry 3 torches and 2 knives..

if your budget can stretch it, get a Nitecore HC65V2 - it comes with a 5 year warranty and will outshine most of what's currently available on the market.
