I bet there better than led lensor. For 9 Euro well worth trying it out.

I picked one up too as a spare cos i lost my h7r. Theres a fair bit of light off it but the zoom is pretty poor. Very flimsy and looks like it will break easily. Still decent value at €9 tho!

I picked up a couple of them and think they are ok. Not super high quality but reasonable light off of them and , at less than the price of a packet of fags or a couple of pints, well worth adding to the tackle box.

good back up light,but odinary batteries dont last long with cree chips ,lithium will last three times longer and are rechargable ebay has some good bargains,make sure to get one with a car charger very handy when your away from home ,also go for a zoomable one as the flood beam on most is too wide if your fishing next to anyone :wink:
