Hi Guys. I'm a firefighter in the UK, looking for a better solution than currently available to us..
We're personally issued with the following torches http://www.wolf-safety.co.uk/torches/atex_torch/ (the 90 degree head, fillament bulb version)
To be honest, they're poor, you always find yourself taking the rechargable box lamps from the appliance if you want anything half decent, personal torches never get used..
I've purchased a second torch so i can start modifying.
My plans we're to convert from 2D cells, to either 6 AA Ni-Mh or 2 Li-Ion batteries. I was going to see if i can completely remove the reflector assembly and replace with a new reflector and high power LED.
What's people's thoughts / suggestions? I'm open to ideas
** I wrote this about 3 hours ago and sods law got a callout before i could hit send lol.
Thanks
