Headtorch Recommendations

freebs

Dear all, I know many people on this site talk endlessly about bike lights. I have looked but not found an answer to this one!!

I am after a cheap/value headlight for my seven year old son so he can come on the bridleways with me in the winter. We will not be going at speed, just so I can get him out really. Around the £20-£30(tops!) mark.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance, Freebs.

unbelievable value, and unbelievably bright

Thanks Dave. Any other (slightly less powerful!) recommendations? He's only seven and spends a fair bit of time looking round at me!!!!

Just wear shades.

It has 2 modes, so not always just high.

For torches, see the FAQ.

I think I'd be tempted to set up a pair of lights on his bars and not bother with a head torch.

see my sig for recommendations.

If you want a small all-in-one (no massive battery pack attached on a wire) headtorch with good power. I would recommend a Petzl Tikka XP2. (about £30ish) probably not the most powerful for the money but the build is exceptional, its water resistant, small, light and very comfortable. (Buy from ebay)

He might like the Petzl Zipka, an even smaller option with a cool retractable strap. It's on the Petzl website.

Hope this helps.
