Tiga sl85 is the best in the range it's light and has a smart charger so you can't over cook the Battery unlike other tiga lamps if I were you I would go for a Tiga you will never look back

cheers man wheres the best place to pick 1 up do you know?

You will have to do a google mate the uk shops stock them
If you get one don't leave it uncharged or you can fluck up the battery and don't touch the bulbs with bear hands or you will blow the bulbs

+1 great hedlamp and as bright as a lighthouse if you want it to be.

try and get one with a red bulb that will stay on constantly (not flash or pulse). it makes a huge difference to your night vision. hope this helps.

Sorry to invade the thread but can the tiga lamps be recharged

Magicshine. Well worth the money

Ye they have a 6v 12ah battery

led lensor hr14 m8 i have that and ther hr7 serious bita kita not heavy or wires every were

hr14 for me too brilliant and lasts forever on low setting

im purchaseing a new one next week and have opted for the led lenzer h14r,,a bit heavier than others but thats beacuse of the quailty,,,,i need it for the winter for the long walks to and from my new cod shore marks which i have been sussing recently

u wont be disapointed serious bitta kit

ebay cree 5 watt with two rechargeble lithium batteries have one 12 months and its still going strong

Yep LED LENSER is the one. ive used / seen / talked to the guys in work about various torches and headlamps over the years in the job. currently top ranked by us are the LED LENSER family.There expensive but well worth it in the long run. easy to tilt and focus comfortable to wear, battery pack sealed with o-ring that keeps out moisture and lasts for ages. Ive to get into some seriously cramped spaces with hands covered in all kinds of oils,greases and hydraulic fluids so ease of use of adjusting things like focus and intensity of the beam are important, which the LENSER provides for. Cold, numb, slippy, bait covered hands .. no problem. comes with handy little pouch to carry it in too.

have you checked out the new Petzl NAO Headlamp? It has received great reviews everywhere.
