Hi!
I am after a bit of advice from some railway workers if possible??
I'm a bridge inspector working for Amey in Wales. An essential part of my job is being able to work in the dark, however finding adequate lighting for this seems to be difficult. We have Lithium iron battery powered super bright torches available but these are no good when your at the top of a ladder. Every headtorch I've tried is not good enough, either its not bright enough and the battery doesn't last or its bright enough but the battery only lasts 2 hours at the most.
I'm guessing there are other railway workers on this site, so what do you all use? any recommendations? At the moment I am using a Nightsearcher HT550....2 hours is the most I have got out of it and I've tried all the different settings. Nightsearcher claim they have 18hours battery life, but I'm assuming this is only on the 'reading mode' which is no good for our work.
Thanks for your help
