Title: Best headtorch for cleaning in the dark?
Post by: Dave Willis on December 08, 2016, 07:24:02 am
I have one from Mountain Warehouse but I'm not that impressed with the beam or the charging. Any recommendations?

I think this thread shows some window cleaners just aren't bright enough.

Used a torch for ages on commercial.

Tried in on domestic last year to clean between 3.30 and 5pm.

First house first window I annoyed a cat. Second window I must have blinded it. He then went crazy in the house and decided to rip down every blind in the house. I am still paying for the blinds today. Some could be repaired others destroyed.

I used a £50 bike led headlight. It must have been blinding lol.

We bought one of those for taking the dog out at night for a bit of a walk.  Unfortunately it doesn't last long before the battery needs recharging. Brilliant light, but its not practical as an every day torch imho.

The other issue is that the light dims without notice. So we can start off with a bright light and within a few minutes its just a glow and you can't see much at all.
