The definitive headtorch post

[goldsim1963]

Hi there,

I really want to continue to run off road through the winter but cannot really afford to spend the amount described in this thread on a headtorch. Can anyone recommend another good but perhaps cheaper product?
Cheers

Try the Gamma from Alpkit.
A great little torch for about 12 quid including batteries!!
Nowhere near as much light as the 70 quid plus models, but miles more light than the Petzl Tikka or Zipka.
I run on the fells in the dark every week during the winter and use nothing else.

Think they're up to 15quid but agree ideal for a taste of the darkside

What about this one?

I think you might need a better head strap, but it seem to be great light for a low cost. Here in sweden some use it in night orienteering.

You definately need a different head strap, those ones are designed to go on a helmet and are not comfy on the head..... Othewise, looks like a pretty decent light and a very good price.

If you want Princeton Tec its the Apex I use.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PRINCETON-TEC-...3286.m63.l1177

This is better than most and at under £50 is excellent value.

Its the one I use

I think mines an Apex. Very, very good.
