Headlight wanted ! advice

[gundog]

Im after a new headlight that is capable of good lasting charge, good light beam, vision when needed !
What do you lot recommend ? I have had in the past the tiga's which I think are far to heavy (just the battery pack), also when you are hitting the rocks the jack plug has a habit of poping out ! Im after something light, not bulky , but performs & lasts, any advice welcome.

I've just recently bought a lenser h7r rechargable it's light and puts out an amazing beam n flood light have a look on the net at them it's the best thing I've got in a while the battery lasts me well but I'm concious of not having on full power all the time but you can put 3aaa batteries in it aswell so would do for an all nighter.

Input not totally useless IMHPO, he just didn't say whether the tape or the lighter was available in different colours.

Second photo, are they king or ophelia crabs?

Must say though, that tape is a bit tight....... give my regards to Sally

Fat head, tight tape! The crabs were just actors -shaved hamsters with extra arms glued on. Sorry for spamming.

As for head lights, i aint had any bother with my tiga battry a little heavy but once buckled up i hardly notice its there, but its down to wot the person thinks really as you will get many ppl say good things bad things about different lights, yet the tiga gives enuff light and battery power for me lol just depends on wot your price range is too, am sick of spending money on fishing gear now as spent far to much and still want more stuff haha
