ARIA 2 RGB

Very sturdy and effective. I needed a headlight for trail running and I was in two minds between the actik and this one. I think this one is much better, as it is waterproof and shockproof, with the added goody of different colours. Both have the same light performance with the CORE battery. This one is slightly more heavy, but the difference is small and it adds peace of mind when in the trails. The main disadvantage is that the CORE battery is not included, but they are sold separately. So although you will pay slightly more than for the Actik (the difference being having to purchase the battery separately), ultimately it is a better product.

Not used it a massive amount but already think it is a great product.Feels like good quality and I have dropped it several times and when not using it is just thrown in a bag and it still works fine. Not heavy so doesn't become uncomfortable after a time. The third brightness not sure why you would need a head torch that bright but if you do it's there I guess.And the little rechargeable battery packs you can get for these are great. I get about 4 hours from one and they are little so can be easily carried round.

yes it's expensive, however it's also worth it.It's comfortable to wear, and gives a great light output.I purchased it for use when wild camping and use the Red function most of the time at night and being able to go straight to red and not via a white setting is crucial for not ruining your night vision. I've played with the Blue and Green but don't really use those. I will comment later if those modes bring enhanced use.All in all, a great head torch.

Great light for the money - easy to adjust headband, plenty of light, variable brilliance, red, green and blue options and easily adjustable for direction. At maximum power it does strip through the batteries but with only 3 AAA's that not surprising. The only real gripe is fitting new batteries isn't an easy task and getting the battery door closed again with any hope of it being waterproof is a task in itself. I would however buy it again as it's not bad at the current price point.
