Damn - just found a review on Youtube and realise that it has a "Strobe
Function" The review confirms the battery is ok.


My Lidl one has that. Full, half power and strobe, by cycling the on/off
button. No idea what the strobe function is for. Super torch, though.

Does anyone else find these two or three mode torches incredibly
annoying as they nearly always use a single button to sequence through
the modes. I want a torch that turns on with one click and turns off
with the next click.

Argh, mutter, mutter, Meldrew mode.... :-)


Yes! I've v. good LED lamp that has 3 modes, so 4 presses - with just on-off
I have a use for it; with 4...!
Having said that, the v. bright Aldidl 2xAA torch has Full - 'Half' - Off
(and zoom) and that could be useful, perhaps, as it'll last about 6 hours on
the lower setting, with a good light.
