Nash Moonshine Mega Lite IPX-4 LED Headlamp with Battery and 220 m Beam Range Rechargeable with up to 80 Hours Running Time

Product Information

As you would expect from a Petzl, you do get some weather-resistance with an IPX4 rating. This means it will be fine it all weathers, but not so good if submerged in the lake. Try and keep it on your head if possible! A great light option for night fishing is bank lamps. Some of our bivvy lights double up to be bank proof, with waterproof casing and attachment options to add the lamp to your rod support and bankware. It is important to consider adding a light to your rod set up when night fishing, not only to help identify your rods but to make sure you do not fall into the water’s edge. Many carp anglers own bite alarms with LED lights on to help with fishing in the dark but an extra bank lamp is great for when you’re setting up your kit before the sun comes up and ensures that you’re always ready to spring into action when your alarm cries ‘carp’! It’s important to recognise that head torches are all about reliability. There are brands in the outdoor space that specialise in creating head torches for far more serious activities than fishing. (Like mining or caving). They’re often built better. If you're looking for more general-purpose torches, we also have dedicated guides to the best torch overall and the best camping lantern. FAQ How many lumens do I need for a head torch? If you’re going to have something on your head for long periods of time, it needs to be comfortable.

Headtorches have come on a long way in recent times, dramatically improving the way we angle after the light has faded. Budget fishing headtorches used to just be used for baiting or sorting out a fish after capture but now many anglers use the beam functions for searching for fish like carp and barbel during the night, or for illuminating their spots or far margin markers for precise casting. The best headtorches shortlist: As experienced anglers ourselves, we at Angling Direct understand the importance of proper lighting when out on the bank for a lengthy carp fishing session. Setting up in low light conditions or being woken up in the middle of the night to reel in a catch can be a real challenge without the right lighting. With our carefully selected range of carp fishing lights, we aim to make your stay at the bank easier and safer, no matter the time of day. Night Fishing Lighting OptionsSaber have been releasing cost-effective, reliable fishing gear for a few years now and the Sensorbeam head torch is no different. Lastly we have the goliath model of the range, the Moonshine Mega lite. Providing ultimate power, the Mega lite allows you to hunt for carp in complete darkness thanks to the extremely impressive 760 lumen spot light beam. With a variable 42 to 220m range, there will be no far bank marker, snags or overhangs you can’t illuminate to get your rig too! All of the lighting is adjusted with the dual button on the top. You’re probably thinking why is it a dual button? Well there’s another nifty feature that you might wonder how you’ve lived without! There is nothing more romantic and exhilarating than standing out on the bank playing a carp under the light of the moon. However, sometimes a little artificial intervention is required and Nash’s new Moonshine range has a headtorch for every requirement! Obviously battery times will vary depending on which settings you use, but you can expect to up to around 80 hours use before you need to recharge.

It’s always good to be stealthy when out on the bank, and when it comes to using fishing head lights, this is achieved by choosing one with multi coloured options (usually green or red). It’s fair to say that carp fishing head torches have changed dramatically in recent years! Choosing the best head torch for fishing today is certainly more confusing that it was in the 1990s. Technology has improved and as such, we are all looking for something a little bit extra now.

This impressive torch boasts a massive 760 lumens. That’s enough to light up the far margins and more. The weight is definitely a bonus if you like using your head torch for other activities, such as running or going on long treks in the dark. Fishing without proper lighting is not only ill-advised but also downright dangerous, and as funny as a story about pitching headfirst into the water might sound, the risk is very real. Daylight does not last forever, not even in the summer so even when you set out from those low lights, early starts to get your lines out before daybreak or you find your bite alarm shrieks in the middle of the night, we have the lighting solutions that can make your stay at the bank a little easier. Best Light for Night Fishing Carp anglers understand that patience really is a virtue out on the bank, and this means setting up for the long haul on a session. As passionate anglers ourselves here at Angling Direct, we know there is nothing worse than trying to set up in low-level light or being woken up after darkness has fallen whilst trying to reel in a catch when you can’t see past the end of your nose!
