Niall O connorDec 14 2012, 1:09amHi all any recommendations for a trail running head lamp?? Moved to the county so no street lamps but miles of woods/trails to try :-) thanks in advance
Dale AllmanDec 14 2012, 8:08amI use http://silva.se/node/80 pretty decent headtorch and very good light from it , only thing is buy a set or two of rechargeable batteries for it as it is heavy on them

pat BarryDec 14 2012, 4:43pmThis thread on this very subject has become a bit of a joke as there has been so many recommendations, comments, etc.

However there are some good lights discussed.

For what it is worth I have a Fenix HP11 and I am very happy with it. It is only occasionally (on very rough ground) that I would use it on full beam.
michael redmondFeb 9 2013, 10:35pmtoday i bought a new head torch for 149 thats one euro 49 cent by the way in dealz in gorey.they have branches around the country.it has 9 bulbs in the head and is perfect for runnning in a field or on the road and maybe more for all i know.not robust by any means but hey a great yoke.if anyone wants one and they have some left i can bring them along to annagh where i will be helping out.
