    Torch for a 6 year old

    I need a torch for a 6 year old. What lumens would be considered safe for him. I'm not worried about shining it in his eyes but more so if he turned it on in bed and left it on, would it get really hot? I'm guessing like 100 lumens. Too dim a light and he might not use it. Probably running on aa...

    18650 simple small clicky

    I've owned a fenix pd35. It lasted about 4 years. I have an old olight baton which I like but the button is too small for parents. I've a lumintop aa which I really like but I want a bigger battery. Do you officially become a flashaholic when you can find something wrong with every light you...

    need a replacement for Olight S2

    Did you get another torch. I also have the first baton and its far better build than the newer ones. All the newer seem to having problems and switching on in pockets etc. I want something similar but with a tail clicky as my parents struggle with the small button

    Compact 18650 for 70 year old

    Looking a gift for a 70th birthday. Something like a olight s2r baton. The baton is a nice size and rechargeable lead as he hasn't a charger but the small button to turn it on is a bit fiddly for him as he can't find it. I need a button like a good clicky button like a fenix pd45 but its not...

    Torch to replace a pd35?

    My fenix pd35 has stopped working. At first I didn't like the torch but found myself that every time I had to grab a torch it was it I used and now I realise it was my favourite. I used it for everything. Farming, walks, car repairs or along with my head torch. So is their now any better edc...

    A light for checking cows in field.

    I have a fenix pd35 and it won't shine far enough​. Led lenser p7 not bright enough and a light s20 i think 1000 lumens like the pd35 but not far enough. Fields are up 300 metres to find cow calving. I'm afraid the olight mx3 javalot would be too focused but i don't know, also would want to be...

    I saw some of them on eBay but they are all from China. I bought a torch on eBay last Christmas and it ended up a fake so I'm a bit afraid of eBay now

    Recommend me a good thrower around £100 uk

    I'm looking a good thrower. No specific reason only for wow factor. I've read and read till I don't have a clue on what's best. I like the look of the olight m3x javelot but I thought it was a bit expensive. I was hoping more around the £100 mark. What about olight sr52. It will be used out...

    help me pick a long burning, light headlamp for under £30

    Yes that seems to be the cas . I've checked loads of threads on cheap headlamps and when I check they're not cheap at all. The site that recommended the byte did also recommend the diamond black spot but I thought it might be a bit heavy not that I'd know. I think its £28 on ebay free postage...

    help me pick a long burning, light headlamp for under £30

    I have read and read till I haven't a clue anymore. Last night I thought I had it sorted in a Princeton tec byte and then found out it runs the battery down when not in use. Its for me and my wife on a farm at night. Mostly for walking about with our hands full. Its important that its not to...

    What light for mot inspector? Anything better than lenser p5

    yes a simple on off would be best. I think I prefer a narrow beam but if it was bright enough a wider beam would probably do

    What light for mot inspector? Anything better than lenser p5

    I currently have a p5 which I like, I could do with it a bit brighter, I usually use it on spot to see better, I think its 120lum. The battery lasts for ages, its 1 single aa. I go through about 3 batteries a year and there dead cheap. I don't have it on for long times but turn it on and off...

    pd35, tk35 or ld41

    I was thinking pd35 as well. Its for emergencies searching fields for animals and needs to dim when I get up close. As for batteries does the cr123 last longer than aa. When not in use which is best and keeps charge?
