Thread: headtorch help

First thing - have had great service from Jacob at Piercing The Darkness. Patronise him if possible. He also has the product techical knowledge that none of the local resellers have and will provide excellent support.

Now having said that look at the Sorfin HS40, on their site. Recently bought a HS40 (Jacob didn't have that model) on recommendation of another forum member. It is a brilliant torch. So pleased with the HS40 I immediately bought their SP336.

My other favourite brand is O-Light.

My first choice was the Olight Perun 2 but couldn't justify it on the amount of use versus the cost.

Sorfin are more of a boutique producer but according to reviews are responsive to users' feedback.
Yeah, Jacob not really an option.

I'd probably favour the Olight as long as it wasn't much more expensive than the Sordin. Not that I'm that familiar with the mini. The Perun 2 had some nicer features than the Sordin I got but at the prices here for the Perun 2 I couldn't justify the extra.
The other thing is who are you looking to buy off, will they be around if you have problems etc?
I guess with the likes of Sordin if there are problems getting warranty recognition may not be easy. Could be wrong on that though.

I got this on sale from PB tech originally. Super stoked with it, great all round hunting headlamp for moving at night and spotlighting. You can swap out the batteries with fresh ones, or charge them via USB-C while they are inside the headlamp. Highly recommend.

yeah, i hear ya an think thats whats leanin me toward the olight , i think for what i want out of a head torch they both would be sweet, any of them would be actually..

theres a few there that do the interchangable thing with the AA , an have rechargable in it which could be also purchased seperatley too which floats the boat i think.

ideally ive gotta take something decent into fiordland, i am due for a new banger anyway an so will be good to familiarise with it beforehand, dont know how much i would use the red light, but it is desirable at the moment, but could get away with out it easily..

couple other options....
fenix hm23 ?

dont mind this, perun sorta style.. but no red light might be deal breaker.. for this price i can get the olite perun 2 mini ??
