Light headtorches

I bought my Daughter a DB Ion and i've been really impressed with it.  It's bright enough to follow a path with.  I've not used a e lite but I can't imagine it being brighter than the BD.

As an alternative how about an old school torch?  LED Lenser P3 40g inc battery (AAA) and much brighter than little head torches cost about a tenner.

I've used a bd ion for a few years now - pretty good, reliable, light and practical but the batteries are expensive and not the easiest to come by.

On my wishlist to replace my ageing bd xenix is the zebralight H31. A big step up in price but I reckon it should be a good year-round option for me and I use CR123A batteries in a fenix torch so usually have them around.

I've got an old zebralight - had it for about three years, takes a single AA battery and that is about the weight of it - it can be very bright if you need it or very dim for in the tent, I leave it in the pack as my spare - has come in handy sometimes.

Very bright as I said, but flood only, which is great for the immediate area around you but if you need a spot to look further ahead you need another torch and I carry a little lenser for distance.
