buying these items
Re: buying these items
I bought the headtorch and it is really bright and just what we were looking at. It doesn't hold a charge for too long though. We did some work in the attic and it was fading after 3 hours. We wouldn't normally use it like that so we are happy but I thought it may have lasted longer.

Did you try running it on a lower output at one time the basic 5mm white LEDs soldered to a bit of PCB used next to no power with a small light output (enough to see by but not a search light)
Higher output = more power consumption no easy way round it
Why I like my petzl pixa 3 26 hour run time on low! And an additional 13hrs on reserve

And you get a warning before it does most of the cheaper lights with lithium cells just shut off
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong
