After A Torch

Ok, now it is dark (can't see in the dark).... I need a torch - a very good torch. Needs to be used on the farm, when offroading and just general lighting when up in the roof laying cables, etc...

Got up to £150 to spend. Looking at high powered LED.

Quite a few on the market and deffo avoiding Chinky crap.

Any ideas?

I have one of these
Buy Torches P14 Tactical focusing LED torch 4 x AA Led Lenser 8414 online from RS for next day delivery.

It's ace, and take aa batteries

Also got one of these

Which is proper bright for a little torch small enough to have in your pocket. Mine never leaves mine

Whatever you get, I'd say get a headtorch, a hand torch and also maybe a torch/lamp with a stand so hands free. Working and holding a torch is not ideal ...

it also plugs into the car so you can use it as a search light out of the window or sunroof when driving

I bought a pack of 2 500 lumen torches from Costco , £25 for the two

3 C batteries, very bright,

You could get 12 for £150, that'd be bright

hmmmm .... after 24 years in the military I would have to question how a superbright torch can be advertised as 'tactical'... still I guess it will entice a few .. should try adding a link to black cargo pants and utility belts, they could triple their sales ....

bit like putting wolf on any old ebay advert for landrover bits lol

cheers steve

cant go wrong with a maglite, of one sort or another

Agreed.

I have one of THESE about £35. Not gonna give you mega spot power like Stenovas effort but its great for camping, closing gates during night landing, going for a slash at night.

Only thing is, if you have long hair get the Tikka, short hair the Zipka or the elastic band will get caught in your hair.



I also have one of THESE at work. Great, unbelievable amount of light, but at work i want the petzel as its more compact.
