'Cos I know you lot are mad on torches - just spotted this on my fave [OHMYGODIMBLIND] site
£5+£3 shipping. Needs Lithium battery 2 x CR123A or 1 x 18650
Bit of a bargain? Should be good quality, the stuff I have bought from him in the past was all great.
Why stop at 3W? 🙂

Impressively bright for sure Mr shin print, but hammering that AA at 4.6A means it's got a runtime of about 10 minutes!
😀 never tried running it until flat to be honest, it just sits at the back door and is used for occasionally finding the dog in the garden.
I've stayed away from 18650 so far don't they need yet another dedicated charger?
Yes.
>Sighs as yet another attempt to be useful goes down the pan<
I ordered a couple; they are well handy.
Sold out now?
Aah - maybe there were only a couple 🙁 Sorry
>crawls back to hole<
awww, don't take it personally! #hugs#
enjoy your new torch, torches are awesome!
If you can see my "Cover Picture" you'll see how much I like playing with light 🙂
These are back online now.
Why does the torch have a laser hazard label on it?
Aaand out of stock again.
This guy clearly does not keep a lot of stock, I won't bump the thread again - this is embarrassing.
Footflaps - I can only assume the hazard label is because high power LED's are not a good idea to look at, especially with a lens on.

This is true, however, a great many torches use 18650 batteries, or CR123 in pairs, and as 123's can cost anywhere up to £7 each, 18650's are very cheap to run. The same charger will also charge 14500 Li-ion batteries, which are AA-sized, but are 3.7v, instead of 1.5, and there are a lot of smaller high-power torches, (2-300Ln), that use them.
I've got a bunch of torches, going up to 900Ln, and they all use the same charger, one of which will cost peanuts from somewhere like DX.com.
A worthwhile investment, I feel.
