    Mine just "needed" to be bigger then yours for a change. Local electrical whole saler we use has them so got it at wholesale rather than retail.

    Good evening R93 - did you have to get a custom strap made, as you have done previously with all the other head lamps you have purchased, as the one supplied with this new head lamp wouldn't adjust out far enough?

    Good evening yourself camel.
    Yes it was custom made, now that you mention it.
    They made a template off your second head that you have growing out of your scapula. Your main one is apparently way to large and difficult to contour properly, (I guess that's why your nickname is moon head) so they have left that to carry on making gorilla biscuits.

    @mikee did you get the h14.2 or the h14r.2? Hows it go? Good piece of kit?

    Was looking at getting the h14r.2, pretty decent specs and lenser seem to have a good rep and 5 year warranty

    @Nibblet I go the H14.2 as rechargable batteries can be a painfull. I like the light bloody bright but I don't like the battery pack sitting on the back of my swede.
    I have been using it at work but just brought a smaller one for work as the 14.2 battery pack catches on everything when you are climing in and out of cupboards and consoles on the job I do.
    Did I say bloody bright, also the on off switch seems to manage to turn itself on when its stuffed in my tool box. I am not a fan of the whole programmed light / dimmer thing. More gimick than not. I am a simple man so I prefer a headlamp that turns on at full power or off. Not interested in the inbetween shit. All and all its a bloody bright light and well built (the light/housing but wouldnt buy another).
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    Ah FFS, I was too impatient and brought it without waiting for your reply. Guess I will find out the hard way. I ended up getting the H14R.2 as it can run its lion rechargable OR standard/rechargable batts. And its 'boost' mode goes to 850lm compared to the H14.2 which is 350lm. 300m beam from a headlamp sounds mint.

    Was tempted to get another cheapie but this will get thrashed at work and can be used hunting/camping so 5 year warranty should do the trick. Just as long as I don't loose it like Cam apparently does every other week.

    Waiting to see how yours works out Pengy, especially battery life.
