Cheapo 5W LED headlights are here

[Jimbob]

Just got one of these for less than a tenner from Hong Kong. Blinding bright, probs lasting for a couple of hours on main beam. This one is £8.80! Takes 3 x AAA.

Can recommend this torch as main or back up. The full beam lit up cliffs 150M away.

£1 of batteries a pop. Probs going to get another one and ditch the speleo.

get a fast charger from 7dayshop.com then buy your AA/AAA nimh's from aldi. I've got 2 chargers, come with car adapters for your fag lighter, 7day's batteries are good but the number of recharges I do on the camera's makes it better to buy aldi's (when they're on special more so!).

Personnally find throw-aways hoy out more light...not pc I know.

Need to get the highest rated mAh nimh batteries mate, they've come on massive leaps since the crappy old Ni-Cad rechargeables, my big digital camera takes 4 AA's, good quality ones have seen me last almost a full day and over 700 pics at some English Heritage events. Get what you pay for, but a thousand charges on a top quality nimh rechargable will pay massive dividends compared to buying single use.
