Head Torch - Pricey But Good

[DRD]

I do a lot of DIY, plumbing etc in addition to messing with pinballs. Having seen the professionals using head torches, I decided to try getting a good one - as opposed to the cheapos I had tried before

Santa bought me one of these, a LED Lenser H14.2. They cost about £53 and take 4 AA batteries. There is a rechargeable version available, but it is cheaper to use your own rechargeable batteries in there

Very good. Focusing beam. Warns you when batteries low. Very powerful. Dimmable light. I have found it very useful when fixing the vector and getting the coal in

I seem to collect torches and leave them about the house. That one looks very nice.

Or for a quality budget head torch I just bought a Petzl Tikkina (£18), perfectly suitable for under playfield work:

Batteries dont last too long, however excellent torch!

Problem with those is after a while, the lamp wont stay up (keeps dipping down by itself) when you move your head about. Suppose can't grumble for £2.99 though.

My brother-in-law asked for a CREE torch for Christmas. I'd never heard of CREE before, thinking it was a brand of torch, but they're actually a US LED maker. I got him a kit with torch and rechargeable battery (with both mains and car charger), and adapter to use standard batteries, and belt pouch for around £15 from Amazon. Torch is ruddy mental bright!
