They need to send one to Big Clive for testing and a tear down, his current daily use head torch is a Core CLH200 with its IR switching and no annoying flash setting.
Cracking light, been using one for a few trips. The second setting, flood light/soft light is something else and is adequate for any fishing trip. As you say the toggle switch between light modes and the memory it has for staying on a selected light mode is a game changer. Fishing here on the west wales coast can be demanding at times and this light ticks all the boxes and certainly light ups the area you are fishing. Some saying its OTT and too powerful I disagree, you can never have too much light and you cant put a price on having a decent light especially if your fishing a lot during the winter months etc . The headlight is worth every penny. Good review CJ, tightlines 🎣
Thanks mate I fully agree on everything you have said. My experience of cheap torches is the make lots of claims that just aren't true, and they let you down. Tempted to buy some of the cheap alternatives and do a comparison.
I wouldn't fancy the weight of that on my head all night. I have an exact copy of the Fenix HMR 65M you demonstrated made by a company called Sofirn. Bought it from Amazon for £35 (Sofirn HS20) and its as good as the Fenix for far far less money.
Just had a look, on Amazon I think the price has gone up a bit, but still half the price of the Fenix. Tempted to buy one and do a comparison review. What do you think?
Sorry mate. Price must have gone up on Amazon recently, however It’s less than £27 delivered direct from Sofirn website if you want one. I recommend you order the SFT40 version. The floodlight LED on the headtorch is a warm colour and easier on the eyes. The XHP50 floodlight lens is a touch brighter but a cold white light. I love mine and don’t think you’d be disappointed
I always love watching your videos CJ, Including this one, But I just dont get how much the Fenix HP35R costs, I get the same amount of lumens, brightness and light coverage from a headlight that I paid £20 from a well known site that rhymes with Sea-Bay and it uses the exact same battery as the Fenix. I honestly think you are paying for the brand name, rather than the quality of the headlight. - L C
thats why you can turn it down, you shouldnt be flashing any lights onto the water anyway, in fact you can turn it around and use the red light on the back, if you are worried about scaring the fish
I bought it the same week it released, loved it since. I use the light, even when it's not needed.
I agree I love mine, it is so easy to use

I was using fenix when they only done a torch, years on I can honestly say, it’s the best, compact and brightest I ever had.
👍

The smaller one is all I need. I have a variant of it. The Shadowmaster. Same as yours only the smaller light is a red light.
Nice one.

Love the flood light better but use the spot light for packing gear away and not lefted any thing on beach
So many uses
£228.99 i could not spend that sort of money.
For me it is worth every penny.
£260. Fecking hell. Look at olight. Much easier to use. Less buttons. Very bright
Hey go with what works for you, I know if I was still lamping, I'd use the Fenix, not seen one better.

Can you send me the link. I'd be interested to check that out.
@@SEAFISHINGwithCJhe ever send you that link?
Ты ошибаешься😂, здесь ты покупаешь качество и вместе с ним бренд Феникс, купил себе 35 он потрясающий и стоит своих денег.
Too bright, scare the fish
