Hi,

I need to get a head torch to attach to my helmet.

I am not a nerd/geek; I really do need one (for some runs I will have to do in the dark).

Any advice about what to get and not get?

Ta.

The Petzl Tikka range are very reliable. I've used one for angling for years. It ended up in the bottom of my freezer once for a couple of weeks, still worked perfectly!

Is brighter and more flexible in type of beam.
Only used it for one week in Africa so far so cannot comment on longevity but battery life is excellent.
