I'm buying a light for an elderly man who mechanics and farms and is always carrying around a aa torch to see.
I want to get him something reliable coz his other torches never last and fairly simple as he couldn't handle loads of modes etc and with a 18650 battery so it lasts a long time and it needs to be rechargeable in the torch to keep it simple.
The head torch needs to be used as a hand torch to so needs to lift of the head strap.
A good switch for old hands as the last olight I bought another old person had trouble using the soft small button.
It also would be better floody for close up work. I'm guessing lumens wise he uses 100 to 400 and crazy bright light isn't needed.
I like my own h03 skilhunt and thought maybe a h04r for him but I know nothing about them and they seem to be a lot more expensive now and seem to be hard to get in the UK. The other might be a fenix hm61r but they are fairly expensive at £90.
What other headlamps would you advise considering. Or even just a hand torch on its own if the headlamps aren't suitable?
