headlamp

Looking a reasonable priced head lamp that doesnt take a car battery to charge it. i have one of those already. something nice and light but doesnt break after a couple of session because of cheap plastic.

cheers in advance

im using one of those energiser led ones - 4 triple a batteries lasts 50 hours - no complaints

not hugely powerful for great distance - but very light

€20 with the batteries included - 4 different settings, with 4 white leds and 2 red and adjustable angle on the led part

siva l1 battery's last ages and plenty bright enuff :lol:

Hi Round_ourway

I am using a recently purchased Princetontec Apex and find it brilliant. Good beam range (3 watt on main), good battery life, 5 modes and they can be bought at a good price.

Veals do them online for £69 + P&P

I bought mine new, delivered to my door for €50 from US.

I would really recommend the lamp too, its also used alot of mountaineers so should be up to a fair bit of abuse

Energizer 3 led from argos at 9.99 or they have a bigger one at 14.99. Both take 3 AAA's and last for ages.

looks the 'bizness'. just ordered one there cheers alan

Switched to one of these from a petzl lighthouse!

Excellenct headlamp, highly recommended for the money.

l1 is a fantastic headlamp...nice and comfy aswell, with no marks left indented on the skull lol

After enough fluffing about I went for the princeton apex. I ordered it from America on monday and they sent it on tuesday and arrived on saturday. At just below half price for the exact same model over here. over the moon with the purchase.

good choice Round_ourway!!

Really excellent lamp and especially for that price, I ordered one for one of the lads too and he was well chuffed with it as well

Just bought one of those headlamps, similar type.....
Unfortunately, I thought it was 12v and put a big battery on it.... :cry:
Bulbs now fried.

I can't find the bulbs ANYWHERE on the net.... 6v, 20w halogen, G4 base.
Anyone know of any tackle shops that stock them?
Cheers

maplins in dublin should stock them...

Try John o Briens Outdoor & Angling Centre in Waterford.

Cheers...

Just ordered 2 from Farnell.... coming from the states though, gonna take 2 weeks :shock:
Got 2X 5 watt ones for the moment, does the job 'ok' for the moment I suppose.
