Head Torch (hire)

(3 customer reviews)

$10.00

Trust us, you need a head torch. Handy for late-night reading or card games and a spot of wildlife spotlighting – for which our torches come with critter-friendly red-led lights. (Also important to say that the sleeping rooms have no lighting, and if you’re a nighttime bathroom visitor, they’re a short walk away from the sleeping huts over duckboard.) The torch has four settings, a throw of more than 70 metres, and we load it with rechargeable NiMH high-capacity batteries.

The Cosmos head torch is also available to buy for $74.99 ($64.99 if you’ve hired first)

The juice on batteries:
We chose to spend a little more upfront on rechargeable NiMH batteries. We can recharge these high-capacity models about 500 times before they start to lose their zip, and when we’re done with them we send them off for recycling.

    My wife and I hired two of these for our trip, and couldn’t have been happier. The “Red Light” mode is a must for late night rummaging through the cabins while your bunkmates sleep. As promised, they came pre-charged and we never ran out of battery.

    Got to Melbourne airport and realised I’d left my torch at home. A message to Ian and he called straight back. Met me at Hobart Airport with the torch added to my order. So easy. So friendly. Thank-you.

    Easy to use. Light weight. Perfect for finding your way to the toilets in the middle of the night.
