After struggling on for a while with my ageing Tikka+ I've been looking for a new HT for this year's fellsman and the 3 peaks yacht race but knowing the manufacturing costs of these things couldn't help thinking Petzl were taking the p***. Then I saw this and thought at that price I have to try one. I ordered it one day got it 2 days later (no post and packing charge) and it's absolutely superb. A 1 watt main beam, 3 other forward facing 5mm leds and even a rear led on the battery pack - a really clever idea me thinks.

Buy one!

And no I don't work for Alpkit but like what these guys are doing and this product is tremendous value for money.
Yes I saw this and thought it would be ok for cycling, but the alpkit doesn't give much on spec on the output of the headtorch? and without sounding like I'm trying to be funny it wouldn't take much to out shine a tikka +.

Let us know how you get on with it for £12 might be ok for the bike.

Alpkit make some excellent kit, got the camping mats from them and they're excellent
