This woman dresses her 'dog' in a stripey jumper and put a fairy lights collar on it. And she puts its poo in our bin. I live in a fucking circus. Srs. Sorry for hijack. I'll go now.

In fact a lot of their kit is great At the other end I swear by this spark-light.com 180 lumens for 10 hours, or enough to run all night in the worst of conditions using a 26650 battery. Also a fraction of the cost of other expensive headlamps.
