Just bough a LED Lenser H7R2
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenser-LED7298-H7R-2-Rechargeable-Head/dp/B00FYVF62C
300 lumens max & adjustable up to that output. Rechargeable via mains or USB & will also take AAA batteries, charging gear comes with it. Variable focus & a very tiltable head. Haven't used it fishing yet but It's zillion times brighter than my Petzl Tikka.

Go on eBay and look for cree headlamps best £20 you will spend
The Cree stuffs good value I must admit, but a couple of mates have had similar gear (Chinese I think?) but the batteries don't last that long (as in 'they won't charge anymore') LED Lenser still use Cree LED's but the batteries & build quality is better.
You gets what you pays for & I always remember what an engineer mate of mine says, 'buy cheap, buy twice'
*sometimes this is not the case*

It's apparently NOT the battery's. it's the charging circuit in the headlights. Buy an independent charger for the battery's and they work fine.... I've had a cree headlight which cost £15 and so far its lasted 2yrs and still going strong.
