i was thinking about buying the LED lenser for about £50 they are very bright at 160 lumens and i have seen good reviews.

I searched the internet for any similar headlamps and i found the "ZOOMABLE 5W CREE Q5 LED HEADLAMP" they are 300 lumens and are only £13 with postage from Hong Kong and look almost identical to the lenser and include 2 x Li-ion batteries and a charger, i have ordered one and if it arrives, i will post a review when i have tried it.

I have one and they are very good. Might not last as long as the
cheaper one that takes the 3 AAA size battery's but you do get
2 good trips out of the battery plus its rechargeable and the fit
on your head is spot on.

I must say they look a lot better. I bought one of the cheaper ones in this thread last year. After just one or two uses the lense kept flopping down due to its weight + batteries in the front and also due a poor quality ratchet mechanism that was just not up to the task. I have the lenser 7HR and find it brilliant. This looks like a good backup.
I have tried the 300lm cheapo and the lenser side by side last year and I think the 300lm claim is a bit far fetched.
I still prefer the more natural light from my Tiga but its too cumbersome in comparison.
 
do u have to go through all the modes to switch them on and off or they like a lenser on - off and zoom wen you want if you no wot i mean some ov the cheaper lamps you got to go through the low beem then the high beem the flashing to turn them off :question:

arrived

my ZOOMABLE 5W CREE Q5 LED HEADLAMP FLASHLIGHT +18650 +CH arrived on Tuesday from Hong Kong (9 days) i am very impressed. they are very bright have a good spot that will easily zoom out into the surf when retrieving.

It is supplied with 2 x 3.7 volt 240 mAh batteries (like a bigger version of AA batteries) and you only put one at a time in the lamp.

For £13.68 including postage, you really can't go wrong.

Now i know how good they are i will order a couple more as spares
