Lately my local Kmarts, Big W's and Coles stores have pulled Maglites from their shelves and replaced them with these stupid Dolphin torches. What's so special about them? My dad has one and the darn thing puts out barely enough lumens on a fresh set of batteries to compete with an incan Maglite Solitaire.
As far as I know, these are torches that are native to Australia as my American friends have not heard of it. They are basically these big ugly things and they sell for $20-30.

Dolphins do seem pretty good in regards to doing their intended purpose, which is to be a safety/emergency/camping torch. It's got a bright yellow finish so it's easy to find, it can take a beating/being dropped, and it floats in water, but what I don't understand is how it takes a whopping big battery yet is still duller than a Mag Solitaire?
I believe someone here once put a Seoul P7 in one of these, sounds like an interesting idea.
