I seen those energizer head lamps in tescos yesterday for £7.95 I thought that was very cheap for them as I use other ones which are quite similar to the energizer one and cost about £25

Cheers

I think that the cheaper ones at €7.99 have less leds than €25.00 version :?

The energizer one in tesco has 5 leds in them although the petzl type I use only has 3 leds which gives out more than enough light for baiting up

have to agree on the Energizer lights. They do the job very well, and have them in my local tescos too. :)
