Lidl have some very bright (60+lm) torches.
I just bought one, put the batts in and it didn't work.
Took it back.

Are you sure they were the right way round?

And how would that explain the short?

Does it need explaining that an LED torch isn't the same as a tungsten
one?

Does it need explaining that they don't break if you do put them in
backwards? Its the sort of thing that people do so its a requirement
that no damage is done by inserting them incorrectly these days. I
expect you have never actually looked at one, or anything else that
takes batteries sold in the last decade or two.

Normally I'd agree with this. But it is you we're talking about.

Your self esteem must be even lower than what I think of you.
The stuff is design so that even idiots like you don't break it.
