Torches, What do you use?

[Soaring]

Can't beat a good old mag light with a fresh set of batteries and a spare set in the cupboard just in case

actually you can. A Cree led conversion kit for the old schoosynagogues lights. Same casing and batteries but the filament globe is replaced with a single high output Cree LED. Batteries last almost forever. Heaps brighter than the yellow filament and still " focussble"

LED Lenser P14 for me, great light, and excellent beam. Excellent Quality.

and I keep a P4 in the glove box.

I have the Aldi one as mentioned above which works well.
Otherwise for the 'pencil' type torches I picked up a bike light set from Woolies - the rear one and mounting bracket went in the cupboard, but the front lamp is a very bright torch (meteor brand) But if you've been blinded by cyclists like I have, you know their lights are very bright

my lights on the Van are usually that bright that I don't need a torch!! end up just using the iphone in the end. LOL!

 

[expanda]

Sounds like a torch off is required at the next expanda meet!

Hi,
I bought an arlec led torch from bunnings for $18 bucks. Takes 3 aa batteries and is the brightest small torch I have exer seen. Will burn holes in your Corinia if you look at it. Nicely finnished in aluminium and comfortable to hold. Gives my led maglite a good run for its money! It's also water resistant and hardly takes up any room.

We have got a few LED Lensor P7. Great torch but not cheap, i love the adjustable beam. Spread for walking in the dark and light the path in front of your feet, pencil for when something scares the crap out of you while on that walk and you want to see if you need to run.

I'm with Holden_man, LED lenser all the way, easy 2-300 m of light throw with minimal usage of power.

Another fan of the LED lensors, size verus output it makes maglights seem so outdated.

I want to get one of the big LED lensors but wife cant see the need to light up the valley, not cheap but amazing.

 

[skippy]

Wow that torch is amassing achjimmy got a picture of the torch?

Sympathies achjimmy. Mrs XF gave me the look, too. Trying to explain about it being re-chargeable didn't cut much ice either.

Use the "It's for our own safety and it will save us money later on" excuse, it might work.

Good try. Mrs XF nearly choked laughing. She reckons I usually doze off as soon as it gets dark and she's still got 20:20 night vision.

Geez, those led lessors are something else.
Is it like an eclipse, look into it and you'll go blind!

 

[Holden_man]

Another Lenser to the family, a P5, very good small LED torch. Going into the glovebox of the other car, the Holden. Like you Jim, I have my eyes on the X21. Reckon the boss would be less than pleased my spending that amount of coin on a torch, so just a thought it remains HM

 

[JASA]

Got too many torches!!! I think someone else has already mentioned the word "fetish"!!!

Led Lenser P6 in the glove box of the Pathfinder. Great for camping, hiking etc

Maglite LED 3xD cell. These have a great beam. Picked them up from Catch of the Day for $29 -One in the Landcruiser, one in the Pathfinder, one in the caravan and one under the bed!!!


25 year old mini maglite with LED upgrade kit. Stored in the Landcruiser glove box


Petzl Tikka Plus - Love this head torch. Always use it to set up the caravan (cause we always arrive in the dark). Great for tent camping, hiking etc


Black Diamond Spot - Great head torch, chews through the batteries though. This one lives in the Caravan as a spare / emergency back up

LED Lenser V6 - Don't know what to do with this one. Bought for $5 on Catch of the Day when I bought the Mags. It's kind of useless, but looks and feels nice

Ay Ups (helmet and bike mounted) - super light, super blinding bright LED lights for the treadly

There's a few other EverReady's etc around the place. But the above are my favorites. I know...I have a problem!!
