Maybe of interest…

Just bought one of these - Wide Beam Rechargeable COB LED Headlamp Headlight Head Torch Super Bright Band | eBay

A whole £10…and the light is ridiculously bright. The main thing is it’s motion activated by waving your hand near it - great for in the dark gralloched after last light and not getting everything covered with bloody hands!

Maybe if interest to some.

Action spaniel!

Cheers for that, mate. Just bought a couple. They'll be ideal for mooching about the smallholding at night I'm fed up trying to juggle feed buckets, firewood, hay-bags, as well as a torch

I ordered two of these. They arrived yesterday and are superb! Cheers for the pointer, G

Pointer? Looks like a spaniel to me....

I asked mrs Gixer if I could wear one during “bed time”…..didn’t go down too well….

Neither would you, really. That switch block would get right in the way . . . . . . .

The only moan if I had to be picky is that you can’t have the flood and spit beam on at the same time…but really that’s being super picky with a £10 head torch!

Torches and lights seem to be coming on leaps and bounds…

LED technology is pretty amazing these days, it has to be said. I use LED floodlights in the yard, and they're phenomenal in the light output and brightness they provide. I also use LED lighting to replace the fluorescent tube lights in my barns, and again they're fantastically-bright and clear, as well as being low-cost.

My only gripe about the advances is that car headlights these days seem to be far too bright. Great if you're the driver, but a PITA for everyone else who just ends up dazzled by them. Same with LED traffic lights. No need whatsoever for them to be so bright as they just occlude drivers' views of what's behind and underneath them

Wish it was my business selling these head lamps! I should be on commission!

I recently installed LED baton lights and for every single one of the fluorescent tube lights I used to have I could run 6 LED batons, and the batons are white light - much more efficient!

Certainly impressive.

Changed our caravan fluorescent lights for LED,s omg it's lit up like a football pitch.
The are the way forward and only use milivolts so the draw down is minimal.
Headtorch is one of these an alpkit muon £9.99 in their sale ,450 lumens beyond bright

Thanks for the heads up on these @gixer1 mine landed in the post yesterday and for £10 you really cannot grumble. I’ll be getting a couple more I think, brilliant little bits of kit!

Funny... She was fine about it when I asked her...

Just ordered a couple.

Just slipped in a cheeky order for a couple.

Can never have too many torches.
