shine a light

[kingcod deano]

with winter fast approaching and the cod season starting to pick up i was wondering if any of you lads had a reconmendation for a good fishing head lamp under the £100 if possible i have seen alot of second hand ones popping about but would rather buy a brand new one so if it did go wrong atleast i would have the option to take it back so if you have any ideas please feel free to reply to this post

thanks dean

Ive tried more headlamps than i can remember as i didnt see the point in spending mega£££ on strapping a second sun on my head. The best ive found was the petzl duo as mentioned above.....

A little warning though- i have recently baught a tiga 180 and i could never go back to normal LED headlamp, i still carry by petzl as a spare but imho i would get saving and spend that little bit more on a tiga or something of the sort.

I use a Princeton Tec Apex. Very light weight and very small with excellent light. Charges on x4 2700 nim and these last two sessions easy although it takes less than an hour to fully re charge. I've had all sorts over the years from miners lamps to newer variants but this one has been the stand out bit of gear in my view.

[critchaz]

I use a Nightsearcher matrix rechargeable 3small leds or a 1watt led bulb very light and sits nice on the back of your head they are on hear fo £50

I have that Tiga too and it is an awesome output, but I think on sandy beaches it is overkill. I use a Petzl MYO XP LED lamp on the beach, but saying that, I wouldnt go on rocks without my Tiga. The Tiga really is good for dangerous rocky places I think, it gives me a lot more confidence anyway.
