The ZhongSheng was my very first LED torch, other than a couple of keyring types that use the small button cells ... There are no "Police" or other markings on the outside of my ZhongSheng ... Only when the head is removed do you see the ZhongSheng ZS20HBA printing.
The body is different to the one on this post, though it still uses 3 X AAA batteries.
It is 109mm long, the body is 27mm wide and the head is 32.5mm at its widest ... It is a single mode and has a tail clickie switch and a wrist strap ... It is well made with a black finish ... The threads are not square-cut and the plain reflector and lens are plastic, but this is only to be expected in a cheap torch ...The head has an O-ring fitted but the tail-cap doesn't, so it won't be water resistant ... For where it will be used, this is no problem.
It was very cheap (off Ebay), over a year ago and has been in the car glove compartment ever since ... I realised a week ago that I hadn't looked at the three AAA batteries so brought it into the house ... It was working OK but I removed the old (made in China) alkaline batteries and now it uses Hybrio AAAs and is working well ... I think that, for my Wife or any other non-torch person, it would make the ideal little kitchen/bedroom LED torch ... My Wife will probably only use it during a power cut to find the candles and matches ... I think that it was only about three or four pounds with batteries (including postage), so at that price it is excellent value.
I realise that (apparently) most of the very cheap torches are not too drop-proof, but in all my 72 years, I have never dropped a torch ... OK, I realise that I never actually had a torch when I was a child, except for my bike lights ... Surely dropping a bulb-type torch would be more prone to possible filament damage than dropping a cheap LED torch.
Anyway, it is cheap and to some readers it is nasty, but it does its job perfectly well ... That is all you can ask of a torch ... However, in "torchaholic" company it really can't be classed as the "male jewelry" of a big named expensive torch.
If my life depended on having a 100%, perfectly reliable and water resistant torch, then my choice might well be different ... Naturally a back-up torch of fairly similar specifications would also be essential.
However, as a retired (old age pensioner) person with a torch in every room in the house, I don't need such exotic torches ... That doesn't mean that I wouldn't like some top level torches, it means that I am willing to compromise and buy lesser known names ... This doesn't necessarily mean less reliability, but if one of my torches proves to be unreliable, I will buy another torch to replace it.
Please bear in mind that some people have financial constraints on their expenditure ..... or a Wife .... or both.
