Blukar Head Torch Rechargeable, [2 Pack] 2000L Super Bright Headlamp Headlight with 8 Light Mode

I bought the above twin pack from Amazon, seems to be half 18650, really comfortable, cob as well as longer range like a 3w cree or both or red or flash, battery lasts over 6hr easy, 6 modes, 3 with motion on/off, twin pack for like £15. Amazing, Best head torch I had,

ALMOST]

I have sent them back, Bright initially after 30 mins the lumens have backed off significantly and it just gradually gets dimmer from there. I guess it doesn't have circuitry to keep voltage to the leds constant, odd as other cheap stuff has.

I really like everything else, what can I get for up to 3x the money that will be significantly better and not fade but like this?

Thanks, Greg

I'm assuming that you're in the UK, since you're calling it a head torch instead of us Americans that call them headlamps.
Anyway, here are the different headlamps that I would recommend you look into. I'm not sure which of these you can get in the UK, so you'll have to search around and find out.

I know that these Acebeam headlamps are available on Amazon in the US for a pretty good price, so you might be able to get them pretty reasonable in the UK too.

There are 2 versions of the H16 headlamp.

Then you have a company in the Czech Republic that makes headlamps that are really high quality. https://luciferlights.net/en/headlamp-z2mini

Then Vinh will ship internationally if you like either of these 2 options.

Good luck with your decision and hopefully you find a head torch that'll work for you.
