Just ordered a Fenix HP30 as well Very Happy http://www.myfenix.co.uk/fenix-hp30-headlamp , get it Friday, it has twin 18650's in a belt clip holder that also acts as emergency USB charger for your phone. With that my solar panels, satellite phone, LPG converted Honda EU20i and biolite usb charging cooker I'm beginning to feel like a prepper Rolling with laughter

Check out the quality of this and with power up to 900 Lumens a little different to 25 lumens on an LED Lenser Whistle . Having the extra power makes this a utilitarian tool, not just something to read books at night under the duvet with Laughing

Submersible to 2mtrs for 2 hrs, so rain won't worry it Thumbs Up You can also read in the bath when camping Rolling with laughter

And don't forget the brief was for one that used 18650 batteries Wink

Shawn, if you want to spend stupid money, go with any of the previous recommends. You'll buy a very good quality head torch but IMO, you're paying way too much.

For a really good quality head torch at a cracking price, go for the Pope recommended head torch: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/161069509583?nav=SEARCH

I bought one of those bad boys for fishing and it was too bright, perfect for camping. As with the Narpy torch, don't be put off by the low price, they are superb. Thumbs Up
They are so good, I had to buy 3 more for friends who saw mine. Thumbs Up

Are you sure you only bought 3? It says they've sold 2196 of them Rolling with laughter

They look like they may have sneaked out of the same factory as the Led Lensers

Narpy (keeper of the torch Bow down ) agreed I bought three of these head torches on recommendation on here before and like the famous Narpy torch, don't be put off by the price - great value for money, very bright, well made and frankly all you really need Imo Thumbs Up

Well we may as well all go to pound shops if thats the case, this is meant to be a forum for Discovery owners = people who appreciate and want quality, not some bazaar. How can people pay £60k plus for a car then so little on a torch that could one day save your life, I just don't understand, its a bit like putting on non branded tyres on the car, eat sandwiches out of garages or use supermarket fuel, who does that Rolling Eyes
