This LED Headlight is lightweight, and with the light at 39mm in diameter it is quite small too.
It is powered by 3 AAA batteries (Not included) which makes it incredibly cheap to keep working and as it is LED, it does produce a lot of light for very little power which means you will get hours of life from the batteries.
It has 4 light settings, you can have low, mid, high and even a flashing setting and the light is water resistant and shockproof.
The lamp head can be swivelled within an angle of 90 degrees, and has adjustable, elasticated straps for that perfect fit onto your head.
All these features make this headlight ideal for running, hiking, camping and many other outdoor sports and activities.

Interesting, the listing details say it does use AAA, but the packaging says AA! I'd be surprisedif a head torch used AA batteries...

I don't own a COB head torch myself, have plenty of normal style torches, but that one looks a decent enough price from a UK supplier.
IF it feels a little too heavy in use, some cheap AAA to AA adapters would help lighten it, but runtime would drop by about half.

I haven't been able to find any reviews on them on Amazon strangely, so wonder what the quality on the cheap one would be like:

For £4.99 with fast UK delivery that could be a great torch.

COB leds are lots of led dies in a single large package and usually have a more floodlight like beam. :man:
As usual, gonna be a lot cheaper direct from China.... but the cheapest may not be great quality:

Chap at Cotswold Camping couldn't believe my other half when she told him that's what I wanted it for
