I can haz Aldi Head Torch CREE LED £6.99

Post by Welly »

I can haz bought an Aldi Head Torch last night, after fixing* the aerial wiring in the loft and having to hold my pen torch in my mouth enough was enough.

I can now guarantee I'll never need to use it but hey....

I've now discovered I must have a big head as I've adjusted the straps 'fully out' and it's still quite snug, but ok. Straps are stretchy soft material and there's a soft pad for your forehead plastics are high quality and robust

Adjustable beam:

Runs on 3 x AAA batteries (included).

Verdict: 9.5/10 :cheesy:

Very nice, shame there's no Audi here. I had a Petzl Tikka for about 10 years but last year I gave it to our vet and upgraded to a Black Diamond Spot 'cos it had good reviews. One of the things I was looking for was the compact size, the Petzl is tiny compared to most of the others available, and this one is still pretty small. It also has a spot for close up work and wide angle LEDs for stumbling about in the dark. It cost quite a bit more than your Audi one though.

Half hour later?

Local man Welly Wellington Boots from Somewhere in East Midlandshire is hospitalised in a critical condition after being found in his country home.
It is believed that Mr Boots was found curled up unconscious on his living room floor clutching a head torch and a camera. It is thought he had been attacked viciously by his moggy. It's been said that Mr Boots has sustained injury to his left foot, his 3rd armpit and his lower moustache.
Mr Boots has since regained conciousness but can only recall having a bright idea.
