mtb lights as a head torch?

[Scott Morton]

Hi, I have a set of magicshine lights I use for my mtb that I would like to use as a head torch for fell running. However they are designed for handlebars or for use with a crash lid. Any suggestion how I could maybe use it with the head torch straps you can get or am I onto a loser here? Im also concerned with the weight too.A few pics of torch Thanks!

I think if you look on eBay there are a few suppliers who sell a head-harness specifically for this type of torch. Search for MagicShine lamps then look at the suppliers shops or 'other items'

Just what I needed. Many thanks!

Looks similar to mine. I carry the heavy battery pack in my bumbag, and a soft hat under the head strap for cushioning. It can start to feel distinctly heavy if you've worn it all night, but no problem for an hour or two and fantastic illumination.

I went with smudges lights, works a treat for solo night runs. Not so good when running with other people as the amount of light they kick out can be a dsitraction for others.

As Tussockface says, there a weighty bit of kit but grand for an hour or two
