Cost me £85 in total (including two spare 18650s and charger) but well worth it IMO. I reckon it'll last many years.

I'd end up losing it 😆

I've been doing some investigation and now have some questions:

Torchwise I am thinking of getting the

-[url= http://www.4sevens.com/product_info.php?cPath=297_402&products_id=2322 ]Quark AA2 Neutral[/url]
-[url= http://www.4sevens.com/product_info.php?cPath=297_355&products_id=2423 ]Quark AA2 Mini[/url]
- [url= http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=291124 ]Zebralight SC51[/url]

All seem to have advantages. The AA2 Neutral has a nice 'natural' colour beam and bright output, but is a bit big. The AA2 Mini is nice and slim, but not the brightest output andthe Zebralight is ridiculously small and bright, but I think it does not have much throw. Does anyone have any suggestions which of these might be best if supplementing a bar light?

ordered one of those tactical quark jobbies with a warm led, I found the cold colours although brighter don't seem to give good definition of shadows

sick of the dx torches getting temperamental when I'm on a fast tricky bit

the guy at 4sevens reckons that it should take plenty of abuse from being rattled around on the bars

we'll see when it arrives

I've got a Fenix LD20 I bought a few weeks ago that I'm not using- just like this:

- it's in excellent condition and I've still got the box and accessories

£35 posted if you are interested

Might sound daft, but have you thought of attaching lights to the dogs - maybe the sort joggers etc. use? A really poxy little lamp is visible from miles away, whereas my experience of looking for our dogs with a torch suggests it's a bit needle in a haystack

I tried lights on the dog, but she shakes herself too much and broke them on a regular basis. She now wears a dog buff, complete with scotchlite over her house collar, and her harness has some smaller reflectives adorning it. Even with a really poxy LED torch they throw back enough light for me to keep tabs on her in the woods, and the torch is enough to scoop the poop.

For sheer out torching the neighbours though it is a D cell maglite. Only gripe is weight, and that it has blown a couple of bulbs in it's time.
