Spec me an LED Torch

Any recomendations for a torch that's usable as a headtorch? Mainly going to be used for DIY tasks (think head in the loft/in a wall/behind a cupboard etc), and maybe if out walking in the dark.
Rechargable via USB-C would be a nice bonus, but if the battery needs to be removed ot charge, that's not too much of an issue as I have a Li-Ion charger already.
I've got a couple decent handhelds, so doesn't need to replace those.
Not looking to spend much, maybe ~£20-£30.

The original Perun Mini from Olight can often be found on sale for around that price.
It's a thumb-sized right-angle torch with sever settings from 2-1000 lumens, rechargable with included proprietary USB cable, has a headband or can clip to a pocket and has a magnetic base.
I find it great for shining into confined spaces like behind cupboards, down the back of engines, etc.
They have the newer version Perun 2 Mini, but that's usually around £45-60.

There's also the very similar Fenix HM50R v.2, which doesn't have quite the same UI or a magnetic base, but is superior to the Perun in pretty much every other way, including the headband and attachment method.
It doesn't rely on proprietary charging cables or cells, so you can charge spare batteries externally while using the torch, and it also has red-light capabilities.

This form-factor in general is probably the best all-rounder in terms of features and usability, but I can recommend either of these based on years of owning both myself... and while I prefer the Fenix overall, I still carry the Olight one every day because of the magnetic base and slightly more intuitive UI.

If you need something that is smaller still but can kick out a lot of light with changeable spot and flood then the Olight OClip Pro might fit the bill.

Picked up one recently and it had been my go to to put in the pocket for the past few weeks.

Slightly over your budget by £1.99 though

I had the older Seeker 3 Pro , but the Seeker 4 Pro looses the proximity sensor which is a deal breaker for me. But still a cracking torch for the money especially with the holster USB C charging function.
