    FWIW bought 2 of these last time and they're exceptional! Absolutely invaluable and worth 4 times the price. Craploads of functions on them.

      I agree that this price is really good, and I know your comment about paying 4x the price was hyperbole, but for a little under 3 times the price (with a coupon) you can grab a Skillhunt H03. Granted you need 18650 batteries and a charger, but you also get 4 times the output, neutral white, a true sub-lumen mode, magnetic tail, and the ability to use it as a handheld light.

    Nice. Ordered a couple. Couldn't do click and collect, had to be delivered. Pity seeing as C&C is easier, just across the street from work. Home delivery is likely to mean a missed delivery card and me having to collect it myself from the next town.

      Not illegal to use for cycling, but you'd still need a proper bike light fixed to the bike to be legal.

  • outlander on 29/05/2017 - 13:35

    Bought one. This will hopefully do better than the last headtorch I had which melted the wires together and shorted. Good thing I had protected cells in there or it could have got messy

    • pizzaguy on 29/05/2017 - 15:11

      Irrelevant. Yours is a completely different thing - no front or rear red.

    • JMC on 29/05/2017 - 18:11

      Honestly not sold on this one. Very small battery capacity, though it is smaller and lighter. If you're gonna go lithium, I'd stick with 18650 size cells.

          Yeah I own one, and I did get the red light to come on by accident, then I couldn't get it off and thought I'd broken it lol. I think you have to long press the power button. If it comes up again worth buying they're really good

        Went all over the BCF deal though. Still a mess everywhere.

        Unfortunately no free delivery from BCF so had to go with C&C, but at least I got the extra 4% off through CR

  • seraphim2017 on 29/05/2017 - 13:53

    I have a $10 for BCF, Is this worth the $4.99 it'll cost me as the difference over my cu8rrent aldi 3w headtorch, which has done sterling work. If I don't use the credit it expires and the only other thing I need are scupper plugs!

    Ta

    • edfoo on 29/05/2017 - 14:27

      Since you already have a head torch that works well, might as well just spend your credit on scupper plugs (whatever those things are).

      • seraphim2017 on 29/05/2017 - 14:41

        scupper plugs, plugs for the scuppers (holes), in my kayak, keeps my ass dry!

  • Skurfer on 29/05/2017 - 14:51

    Spent my $10 voucher on this so picked it up for $4.99. Can't have too many cheap head torches in the camper trailer as we always seem to come back from a camping trip with less than what we took.

  • HelpWanted on 29/05/2017 - 15:15

    Anyone care to comment on usability for running? Too heavy?

    Thanks.

    • ebosh on 29/05/2017 - 15:54

      My short answer would be that the separate battery pack looks cumbersome for running with.

      My longer answer is: I prefer to "buy once, cry once" so I tend to recommend jumping into the world of 18650 batteries for most torch's. You get over 3 times the battery capacity over a AA in something not much bigger physically, plus you get far more potential output. Also, in the context of this light, I prefer a headlamp that doesn't have a separate battery holder that sits on the back of your head.

      I run with a Nitecore HC30 since it uses a traditional reflector, and hence has a tighter beam pattern compared to my Skillhunt H03 or Armytek Tiara A1, which means I can run it on a lower mode for much longer while still seeing far enough ahead of me. Having said that, For about $40 the Skillhunt in my comment above is an absolute steal and would make for a much better everyday light IMO.

      • HelpWanted on 29/05/2017 - 16:43

        Thanks for the reply.

        I've got a few 18650's batteries and torches for my bicycle. I was hoping to start cheap, like my running (just getting back into it). Then upgrade IF I don't injure myself for the 1,000th time. Be nice to see where I was going so it's not a 'fall' injury :-)

        $40 AUD would be a bargain (not $40 USD!).

        • JMC on 29/05/2017 - 18:10

          I'll play devil's advocate here. While 18650s are undoubtedly superior, and the Skilhunt is lighter, brighter, and higher quality… It may not balance on your head when running.

          With a battery pack at the rear, you have a counterweight so that the light doesn't try to fall forward as you jog. With the Skilhunt, this could be an issue.

        • HelpWanted on 29/05/2017 - 18:57

          @JMC:

          Thanks people. Will give this cheapo a go and see how it 'runs'!

        • Rodo on 29/05/2017 - 19:16

          You can get the Skilhunt for just over $40 AUD from Gearbest with a coupon code.

        • JMC on 29/05/2017 - 19:30

          @Rodo:

          Geeze, couldn't find a working coupon before buying the Gentos, and only now realised you can actually get it down to that price. Great deal.

          Still not upset at $20 for the Gentos shipped, but in hindsight I would have grabbed the Skilhunt - better battery, light temperature, output, build quality, and modes.

        • ebosh on 29/05/2017 - 20:27

          @JMC: maybe it's because I have an overly bulbous head, but I find the top strap keeps both the Nitecore and Skillhunt secure when I'm running. YMMV though, as my head is the biggest I've ever seen

        • ebosh on 29/05/2017 - 20:29

          @JMC: por que no los dos?

          @ebosh:

          I actually just ordered the bloody Skilhunt. Will attempt to cancel the Gentle, but if not… Well, "por que no los does?" indeed.

        • JMC on 29/05/2017 - 20:46

          @ebosh:

          Fair. The lack of a top strap on the Gentos is a bummer for running use, too. On the other hand, having a rear red flasher is very handy for road running at night.

        • HelpWanted on 29/05/2017 - 21:13

          @Rodo:

          Unless I'm blind, which I'm not, I can't find a coupon to bring it down that much?

          Care to share the code, thanks.

          @JMC:

          Thumbs Up. Now for the Newbie Q.

          Is there any major Diff between the versions? H03 (TIR lens), H03R (OP reflector), H03F (adjustable)
          NW vs CW?

          Will pull the trigger as soon as someone chips in with, 'it's just a touch, it doesn't really matter'!

          Running and maybe cycling purposes only.

          Cheers all most helpful bargain hunting!!!

        • JMC on 29/05/2017 - 21:56

          @HelpWanted:

          Yes. CW (Cool white) looks 'whiter' and is (very) slightly more efficient (lumens/watt). It looks impressive indoors, but outdoors makes things look greyish and 'flat', as it doesn't bring out earthy colours very well.

          Neutral white is somewhat warmer, and is my strong preference. It's still very white, but renders colour better (making it easier to differentiate between objects).

          The H03 will give a big, broad beam without a bright spot in the centre. Good for up-close (walking, working on your car), not so good for cycling. The H03R will be much better for cycling (gives a bright spot with a wide, dimmer 'spill'). The adjustable one gives you the best of both worlds, but you have the somewhat flimsy plastic hinge which might break.

          IIRC the coupon codes are version-specific, too.

          If your bike already has lights, I'd go with the H03 or H03F. If you want to use it as the only light while cycling, I'd go for the H03R.

          @JMC: couldn't have put it better myself. H03 neutral is where it's at.
