New outlets for buying from.

mcnair55 · Feb 3, 2013

Living in the UK can for many mean they cannot buy a decent light from a brick and mortar store but I have maintained if you do your homework you can usually do ok.

I have just bought a Fenix PD32 from a boat shop,he did not have the full range but he had the E11 as his cheapest and the LD41 as his dearest and six in between.

I have also found an army surplus shop locally that stocks Klarus.

Both stores are selling at the same price as online retailers.

Happy Days

Maplins own make are ok for the money.

I bought this off them for just over £12, simple 3 mode AA cell.

I bought a high end Petzl headlamp from OutdoorGB because their price was WAY lower than I could get it in the States. Don't know if they support a brick and mortar store though.

Those type of lights are dead easy to buy in brick stores because of the amount of climbing/caving/outdoor stores we have.

You can buy/hire really specialist stuff like this fella.£700 worth.
