Energizer Head torch

[Stephen Scaysbrook]

My Energizer head torch has become a little loose on the pivot which allows the light to slip down when moving about.
I know a lot of you lads on here use these head torches and wondered if any one was having the same problem or had come up with a quick fix.
I've tried a few things but with out success. The torch isn't very old.
I've just been to go out doors and had a look at a Petzl Tikka plus 2 which also has the red light on it but you need to go through the full range of white lights before you get to the red. At £31.99 and with the order of lights I would rather stick with the Energizer if I can fix the problem.

Had my one for a good few years now, never had that problem, never heard anyone else having that problem .

Just had a look at a spare i have, the only thing i can think of doing is to heat up at piece of thin wire and try to melt the plastic either side that makes the light pivot to try to close the gap up ?

Stephen , after extended use I have had a couple of Energisers with the same problem . Unfortunately I couldn't see a way of rectifying it .

If it can't be fixed take a look at the Petzl Tac Tikka it has a flip up red lens rather than a seperate red LED meaning you can have the red light on all 3 brightness settings. Bargain at £25: Petzl Tactikka Tac Tikka 3 LED Head Lamp Torch Camo (3342540067202) | eBay

Wilkinsons own brand £3.99. Red light and white light just like the Energizer model.
