Led lenser 14.2R is a bit more expensive but fantastic light.

Thanks ASamblin. This seems a very reasonably priced headlamp but im wondering why is it so much cheaper than the LED Lenser H7R.2 that I was considering? - wouldn't 9000lumen be way more than enough and make the battery run flat quickly? Does it illuminate in a red option also?

I Have used others but find the big battery pack on the back annoying altough its a stronger light , and the charge is never enough for a long session when alot of light is needed . this the best so far for its money ,Hope this is of some help

When night fishing would this amount of additional light belting around the place put fish off and drive them away?
There was a bass caught during a night time competition that i was fishing in Donegal last Friday. The beach was lit up like o Connell street at the timechuckaroo wrote:Lads, this topic has been resurrected from a year ago. I got a new headlight last xmas, no need to respond with recommendations..
FYI, I got a Led Lenser H7R.2 and I can't fault it. Really compact and with a fantastic beam, amongst other things, although it hasn't got the red light option.

I really don't think so. There is a belief that lights do scare fish (esp. bass) but I have seen a lot of fish (not necessarily bass) completely unphased by headlight torches
