I've started using a smallish LED torch, with rechargeable batteries, saves throwing tip lights in the bin.
got torch with batts on amazon, they also do a torch holder for cycles that fits perfectly on the tripod,

amazon parts are: not cheap to buy but 3.7v batts last a long time, never ran out on me yet, but always pack a spare tho.
when fitted they shine straight up between the rods.

I also have a rechargeable head torch that can be adjusted to a spot or wide beam. Mine lasts when on approx 15 to 20hrs and has led lights.

Tip tape and head torch.
Tip lights are a pita.
Bells belong in church towers.

Yep, same for me. I figure you’ve got to look at the rod anyway, so if you’re looking at it with a head torch on, you’ll see it in any case

Used to but switched to reflective tape as I found the glow in the dark not as effective.

Love it when the cockend next to you has bell bite indicators on ... and the tides running at 43543562344512389047123 knots and its weedy ....

Do not use bells, kids!

Ocean sun clip on stick lights are pretty good, crack and shake chemicals, last for ages. When you get home after your session put it or them in the freezer ready for next session, when they thaw they will still be glowing, used to last me a few weeks when i was going out 2 or 3 times a week. Also use tape and torch but if in more stealth mode i still use the clip on stick lights.

Buy the very best headlamp you can afford..... do not listen to any value for money bollox.... a top draw headlamp is over 125 quid.
Then buy a back up..... and keep it charged.
Order of importance.
1) appropriate clothing
2) headlamp
3) everything else

Cheers Phis ... who is the seller though

Found you a link! They don't come with holders, seller's links for the holders don't work, and having done a copy & paste jobbie, looks like the holders are out of stock.
