Maxtoch H01R or Nitcore HC65 ?
Just seeing what you guys think on these two head lights, all my Ledlensers keep dying or playing up now days (loved my old H7) so thought I should up grade to one of these buggers ?

I have a maxtoch H01R certainly can't fault it, shits all over my old ledlenser for battery life and brightness, it also runs the same batteries as my x2 shooters so for me that is a consideration, sorry don't know anything about the nightcore.
Either or mate, both damn good. I have the hc60 and very happy with it.Quote:

For anyone who has HO1Rs I have some replacement headstraps you can have free. Just PM me and will send..
As previously mentioned, if you can get your hands on a Maxtoch H01 or H01R, snap it up. I have both generations of this headlamp, and they are still working very well after a lot of years of abuse.
Same cannot be said for any of the other brands I tried.
I’ve got two of the maxtochs. Good basic durable lights.

I have the H01R. It's good. Can't say I've stretched the battery. Brightness is good, if not overwhelming. It's a small package, so you can't expect too much. I've also had good experiences with Nitecore torches, but not the model mentioned. No doubt, the HC65 is good too.
They are incredibly closely matched

Holy hell 800hrs at 1000 lumans from 1 18650 that is amazing
I'd drop the Maxtoch's in an instant if that was a real stat, and not clever marketing.Quote:

My only dislike of my Maxtoch is that the light colour is too white and bounces back, specially when any dust etc in the air
the hc65 is good, one thing i dont like about it is you have to unscrew and remove the end cap to be able to plug it in and charge it. not sure if this is the same with the other one, but i'm guessing its only a matter of time before it gets lost and the IP rating goes with it.
You dont have to remove it completely to charge itQuote:

Hey guys Thank you for the respond & info from all, might well be sorted for a bit as a member is sending me his spare, which is bloody awesome of him !
Quentin, Scout and Echo your spare Maxtoch headlamp bands are in the post.
No charge for item or post - just pass on some help to the next hunter you meet.. :)
Pretty easy fix is to thread charging cable through the cap, can't get lost that way. Problem solved.Quote:

Hi have been using one of these sofirn headlight torches for a couple years... can’t fault it. 18650 and nice low, medium, high and boots modes.

Love my HC65.
I have a H01 sent to me from @MSL, really appreciate him sending that & it is very good, I like a lot of the functions & will see how it goes !
What amazes me is the amount of & quality of flash lights & heads lights now days, truly amazing !
My old Mag-lite has teeth marks all over from my early Thar & rough country hunts where I needed two hands, even my old rifle sling has lol !
Well now I have the new head strap to fit my H01 should the rubber fail , thank you @mudgripz appreciate you sending that to !
Cheers @mudgripz. Very much appreciated :DQuote:

I see the maxtoch H01r Are no longer available.
Just been looking at the nitecore hc60 on Ali express.
Look to be what I’m after, any feed back on them? Or a similar head torch I should look at?
After a small/light one for getting back to camp and use around camp, don’t need a heap of features etc..
Cheers
Look at the Nitecore NU32 if its just for around the campfireQuote:

Does anyone know who the Ledlenser NZ agent is ? I cant find out, sent a complaint to their international addy with no response. NZ retailer not helping me.
Tight Lines are the official distributors
Pretty sure Tightlines is the distributer.

HC65 is awesome. Been using this for 7day trips, extremely reliable and quality. Highly recommend
I'm thinking a Nitecore NU25 could be worth a look to ?
Battery life?Quote:

I have no idea why they have not discontinued the 25 line.
So you are saying look up to NU32 then, I was told the older NU20 was a great light for a simple light ?
The NU20 has a 30 minute beam to 80m on turbo. Drop it down to the high setting and you'll get 6 hours. It is very simple if thats what you're after and its 10 bucks cheaper than the NU32.Quote:
