I have a small Petzl head torch (its a small hiking size head torch) which i used on thursday night and to be honest it was spot on for close work but no good for distance.
Does anyone have a preference for a specific head torch suitable for night fishing from beaches and rocks. Cheers.

I've had most of the Cree lights and use the 1600 for cliffs and piers, but for the beach I grab my princeton apex, because it gives a more comfortable light to Work with. No need for powerful headlamps on the beach imo.
Stay safe!
Enjoy your fishing!

Check my post in the eBay links section, looks like a cracking light for the price, I've just ordered one.
Aye Wavy I got the lenser h14 on e bay used, but I have used the h7 and both are top notch. All my fishing is rock edges and I have a tiga and a few others not in the same league as these. You`ll not be disapointed.

As a me treat ! I have just bought the 14hr,( £62 fleabay), as I thought it would be better than my 7hr, which I thought was brilliant. It is a brilliant piece of kit, and first choice for walking in/out of marks, etc., but it hasn't the control of the potentiometer the 7hr has. I don't like tip lights, as in complete darkness they are too bright, and I think you can miss subtle bites, my opinion. I find 3M solas tape over first three gaps between rings, and the 7hr with the power turned right down, I can see every movement of the tip. The 14hr has just not got the control to do this, and is too powerful. I picked a 7h up on fleabay for £22 delivered, bought as set of rechargable batteries, us it for DIY around house, now have 3 redundant 2d cell maglites, which cost a damn sight more, are a pain to use, eat batteries, and aren't half as bright.
Simples !!!
