fenix hp11 headlamp

[topbanana]

I'm looking on getting a knew headlamp but don't have a fortune to spend and also want something decent. I know all about the cheap Chinese Cree lamps so does anyone know first hand what these are like. They look and sound the part for sensible money.

cheers.

Those crees are spot on mate

People seem to speak highly of them like, especially for the price. By the time you spend loads of money on an expensive one you may as well get a few cheaper ones and they will last you lol.

theres an uk dealer does the led lensor type for £7 odd a great back up or if not 1st lamp

I've had a led lensor but I found it a little fragile and the wire split near the light. The fenix look decent though and I will have a good look at the Chinese ones but there's so many lol.

I've just got an fenix hp 11 for this season. only used it once upto now, but I'm impressed with it. got it for 43 pound from Hong Kong delivered, took 8 days to arrive.

Fenix is the best lamp I've had, I use an H7 as back-up (but never needed it, other than to lend to others!). Tiga's & Speleo's etc are all now pretty much retired. Ordered mine from Fenix UK, on the off chance there's a problem I can get it fixed; wouldn't get mine from far east as they don't give a stuff about customer service generally, and mine came 18 hours after I placed the order.

If you do look back though, it'll be nicely lit up

 

[topbanana]

had a quick look on the site and there's a hl30. 77 lumens less then the hp11 and no spot. not fussed about the difference in power but do you reckon no spot is a biggie ? I've looked at the reviews and videos and its still mega bright but a bit cheaper.

I've got Fenix HP25 and can't fault it
