    Rechargeable 3000 LM T6 LED Headlamp Headlight Head Torch Lamp Night Light | eBay

    Loads like this on sale. I have 1 of these and another similar. If you need a zoomable one have a search. They work great, give good light and last all night used on and off. I am not one of those anglers who is scared of the dark and needs a 5 billion candle power light on all night so I can blind every angler for 1/2 a mile, so I can't say how long it lasts in constant use, but mine has never gone flat over 8 hour sessions on the rocks and beaches.

                I buy mine off ebay but make sure you buy the black ones..
                If you search nitecore 18650 those are the ones to have if you want to spend on them properly... mind there almost £15 each but we'll worth it in the long run

                Maplins sell them aswell

                      Bought quite a few cheap Cree headlights but last year decided on getting a decent one so went for a Princeton. Also got some Duracell rechargeable batteries.

                          Don't bother with cheap ones buy a decent one like a led lenser 14r2.
                          7 year no quibble guarantee. Andy Nickerson used to get them for £70.
