is this LED torch got the better LED's ?.

hi there, is this LED torch better than what you would could find on maybe amazon and ebay?. is this LED torch worth it?. or is there better in this range?. its only £7.19 GBP. for a friend who wants to spend less than £10. thanks.


the ad states this...

Leds are Japanese made and do not suffer from the inferior chinese fading chips. (compare the brightness after 50 hours use interior led will fade to half brighness - these wont)

I also noticed in a torch like this before, sometimes you got to bang/shake it to work brighter...

Are you specifically looking for a UV light?

thanks, just an LED light for someone to use at night in their room with simple ease of use. one mode.

why is this a UV light?. can it not be used in the home?.
thanks,

Its a UV light..its says UV in the dexcription..not good for home. Not a flashlight that does the same thing as a led light. UV is very bad for the eyes, it will find body fluids,excellerants, so police work amongst others.

thanks.

If it's just something cheap for a friend then try one from Tesco's. They have a couple of good ones for sale, google 'tesco cree torch'

I've heard some good feed back about them, less than a tenner, uses 2 x AA batts and as your in London I'm guessing there's a Tesco's in walking distance.

Make sure its the cree torch though as they have a few other naff ones.

Many years ago, there was a fishing business that fished in waters where the salmon did not eat food fed by pink pigmented plankton, and the salmon's flesh was white instead of pink.

Customers seemed to be used to pink salmon though, the most common type.

The company was about to go out of business, when their marketing people had a great idea. They changed their ads to read: "Guaranteed not to turn pink in the can!"

It saved their company...and they lived up to their promise.


IE: Marketing.

would this one be better ?. http://www.active-products.co.uk/a50275.html than this tesco one....
