This is unusual. With the usage time you got, I assume it's an LED
torch. D cells haven't been around for ages. LED torches tend to take
AA or the Lithium Ion equivalent. Is this a home made torch or a
conversion?


Please read some of my other posts, under
similar subject lines. I've explained all
this. And I thought clearly so.


Why would you think I or anyone else has the time to read every single
post?

D cells have been around for at least 60 years.
I have a flashlight "torch" that belonged to my
great grand father, takes two D cells.


And lasts 12 hours?

1) Of course! Everyone who reads these lists
is fascinated by what I write, and studies
my writing in great detail.
2) I suspect the old flash light / torch
lasts about 3 hours on carbon zinc cells.

A man comes out of a shopping mall to find that the side of his parked car is rammed in.
Seeing a note under the windshield, he read it.
On the paper is written: "As I'm writing this, about a dozen people are watching me. They think I'm giving you my name, phone number, and insurance company. But I'm not."
