It's like a flipping beacon and has different settings. It also doesn't have a harsh line around the pool of light which some of them do and which messes with my head. It sort of fades towards the edges which is much better for me.

It just about shows enough on the pavement to see wear I'm going. Next time I'm just going to take my bike light in my hand as it clips of the handlebars. It's probably 2-3 times brighter.

Dvorak Oct 2013 3:34pm, 28 Oct 2013 7,656 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak Chris, a couple of weeks ago someone mentioned their bouncy headtorch problem and a couple of people advised wearing a buff with the headtorch on that would solve the problem. My current torch cost £3.99 from Wilkinson's and provides enough light to avoid falling down holes. (Actually, a bit more than that) Should I buy myself an Alpkit this year for a whole £15?
