Am in the market for a new head torch, ideally something to cover most uses, with 100+ lumen ability, can run from rechargeable batteries etc. Aside from the usual suspects which can be quite pricey (DB, Petzl etc) has anyone used the Energizers heavily? Can get a 135L version for £14 which seems a bargain, but I suppose not if its a duffer. Apart from the fact that it seems to be IPX4 rather than 6 are there any reasons to avoid??
Alpkit are a possibility - maybe the Viper or Muon as better alternatives??
Yes, I've been using one for the last few years. Works brilliantly, good light output, good battery life. Only cost me £7. Simply miles better than the alpkit ones, which I repeatedly had problems with and wouldn't trust at all.
No idea about the latest ones, but I wouldn't write them off.
I think a bit expensive for you,:- but since they first came out a few years back I just use a Petzl Pixa3. designed to run on any AA battery. The toughest, most freeze, drop, water, dust, crush, intrinsic (ATEX) headtorch out there. Nice easy to use with gloves main knob, & locking off function to.
