    Led Lenser are good.

    Considered a head torch?

    A head torch would be more useful IMO.

    3W Cree sounds a bit feeble to me (for that money).

    Better off going to Ebay
    eg:
    Torch1
    Torch2
    torch3

    LED Lenser head torch, very good.

    I’ve got a couple of ebay specials which are bright but poorer quality.

    but poorer quality

    Really? Maybe the headtorches are, but the Ebay torches I bought a couple of years ago are superb.
    Same as This. Bought in 2011, still a great piece of kit.
    Bought 2 off that seller Redlog, recommended.

    Go to Aldi and see if they have any of their last sunday special 5w torches still on sale. Add some rechargable batteries and the job’s a good ‘un.

    I got one of these a while ago. http://www.shiningbeam.com/servlet/the-152/ShiningBeam-S-dsh-mini-XP-dsh-G-R5/Detail

    Nice and bright, dead small, no flashing modes, cheap, leaves you plenty of cash for batteries and a charger. Delivery only took about a week or less.

    Thanks guys, I need it by this weekend which rules the ebay bargains from China out I am afraid
    I have been looking for one which maybe has a ‘docking’ charger but not having much luck ( I used to have a dewalt one but they are to spenny )

    I have one from Redlog that came as a replacement for one with a dodgy end cap.

    I was going to put it on Ebay, but would be happy to send you it for £20

    It has 1600 (Chinese) lumens and 2 batteries and a charger.

    It is focusable from wide to incredibly long and far!

    If you are at all interested I could probably find the original advert with specs etc?

    I should add that it would be great for looking in sheds, but is a bit big for putting on your helmet!

    Buy a couple of these and some 14500 Li-Ion batteries and a charger. The chargers will also charge 18650 batteries, too.

    I’ve got three of those little torches from DX.com, but obviously Amazon will deliver quicker.
    Fantastic little torches, amazingly bright, and nicely made, they work very well on a bike with a Twofish block as well.

    @alibongo001 – I’ll have it for £20. Wife needs one for walking the dog.
    If drummer foolishly turns it down 🙂
