Sheets Oct 2012 11:25am, 1 Oct 2012 731 posts	0 Sheets I took my Gamma out for test run on Saturday and loved it at £15 it is a real bargain. It gave out enough light in the open & in the woods to give me more than enough light for my off road running. I also found it very comfortable to wear, I would recommend it to any one who is looking to buy a head torch this winter.

Homer Oct 2012 11:36am, 1 Oct 2012 12,209 posts	0 Homer Alpkit Gamme is a market leader. I used one on a nightimte search in the Lake District last winter, the head torches of the other 3 guys were frankly pointless by comparison to the range of the Gamma. The battery life is good too.
flanker Oct 2012 12:05pm, 1 Oct 2012 13,979 posts	0 flanker Tried out my lenser H14 at Hardmoors over the weekend, and just used it on the 15% 'dimmer' setting all the time. It was plenty bright enough and on full power obscured everyone else's lights. Put it onto full power once to find a nav point and it was like a searchlight. Also liked that I could put the batter pack onto my shoulder strap. Very impressed with it. And running it at 15% should give good battery life too!

Just plugged it into Amazon but it gave me a pathfinder 21LED which is only £10 but rather get something that is recommended by fetchies (and affordable)
