Thread: Looking for a new head torch

Just wondering what people are using out there.
I am looking for a head torch that will have good run time and also the ability to throw a decent light out. Current head torch is getting a little old and only good for about a 5 metre beam which is fine around the camp fire and under the car but not for much more.
I had a look at the lensers but damn they ain't cheap.
In all honesty would like one that can go dim and then when needed light up the place like it is daytime. I did used to have one of these about 15 years ago and walking out of a climb no one else in the party needed to use theirs it was that bright and lit the bothy up from about 2 k's back- i miss that torch and it only cost about $30.

All help and advice appreciated.
