Anyone recommend a good rechargeable torch? My elderly B&D one has
given up the ghost, the cheap bazillion power spotlights in the sheds
have batteries made of lard and Maglite want hundreds of pounds(!)
for their "rechargeable torch system".

I want one that I can leave plugged in all the time and it would be
nice if it recharged from 12V as well as mains and came on
automatically in a power cut.

Have you considered the wind-up variety - which you can recharge yourself
without needing a mains supply?
