So, my little boy is 6 today ^:) and seeing as he’s showing more and more interest in my lights (especially my FW3A with CRX’s glow disk), I thought it time to get him on the flashlight stepladder!
I often see people requesting lights for kids on here, but none are actually for ‘kids’ at least not younger ones. So I found this one - Bosch headtorch.
Maybe that’s an idea……. the BLFjr ’ a light for kids who’s dad’s are flashaholics’
His has elastic headbands, this one seems not to I dunno if that’s an upgrade or downgrade lol! Either way he loves it - can’t wait for tonight so we can try it out!
Happy Birthday for your boy
Enjoy the walk in the evening…

My US 7 since Jan 24th (owns a few already) . Happy birthday!
Good choice, I never thought of the headlamp as a first flashlight but it strikes me as a smart choice for a little one, and it might save your life someday.

I gave my niece a light… an MT09R.
She likes it.
Nice birthday present for your son G0OSE. Glad he loves it.
I absolutely LOVE this idea. My son who is almost 2 is obsessed with any light I play with but he can figure out how any switch modes if I give him something to play with on a certain setting. I am about to go old school and get him an incandescent. Lol
Enjoy it while you can, they grow up so fast.
Happy Birthday G0OSE jr.
Thanks for all the kind words guys, and yes he really does love it! He spent 2 days crawling around the dark places in our house lol!
It’s not that bad either really, though oddly it has 2 rectangle leds which puts neither in the centre, one is cw and the other is for another mode which is flashing, but it’s ww ……. I can’t work that one out.
Maybe I’ll swap it out for an XHP70.2 lol! joking aside, you could probably lose the flash mode and just put 1 half decent round led in, the reflector hole is round. OR maybe leave it as is lol!
Happy Birthday for your boy and his next flashlight will be?
