Hi ppl
I'm John and i recently started working as a security officer in Ireland. So i am slowly getting organised with anything that the job might require, besides the standard stuff provided by my company.
I realised that i need a small sized torch, that i could fasten to my belt, without it dragging down my trousers... while still being powerfull enough for outdoor night patrols in zero lighting conditions.
While googling for what would suit my needs best, i came across this forum and decided to register and ask the experts
So here are my requirements
1) Price, no more than 50 euro.
2) Size, no bigger than 2AA batt.
3) Power, something between 3 and 5watts i believe would be sufficient without me needing to get a fresh set, or recharge every single day.
4) Push button single hand operation instead of screw mechanism (Not absolutely necessary, but would be welcomed).
5) Focusing beam, flood to spot light.
I have looked at a lot of posts here and i was very impressed with some products, unfortunately most, if not all, are not available directly here in Ireland and if i order them from the states, then the shipping cost takes the item over my above maximum set price...
The only product i have found that meets almost all my specs and is localy available is this
http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?TabID=1&criteria=led%20torch&ModuleNo=44896&doy=15m9
So i would also appreciate any input on this specific product.
Thanks in advance
John
