Headtorch: RidgeMonkey VRH150 Rechargeable Headtorch

With a twin colour output and variable brightness levels, it can be used either way up, while the green light output is brighter to the naked eye than the conventional red beam used in most other headtorches but significantly less harsh than the standard white beam, helping to retain night vision capabilities.
