Default 21 LED torch

Just bought one of these and it's brilliant - in more ways than one!
Incredibly bright, small & compact.

Great for plumbing jobs, the LED light seems to make the slightest drip
sparkle so it's easy to spot.

Bought 10 of theses about 3 years ago for £6 each C/w batteries from a
little Chinese man on EBay.
Bloody marvellous things.

Sold em to others for £12.

They're plastic bodied, rather than aluminium, but they are also
extremely bright.

Nice.

Being a diver, I seem to be used to paying over the odds for torches,
etc. however one torch I have is really excellent and worth the
money. It's

http://www.ukinternational.com/produ...ductID=4&cat=6

and it's bloody bright and the batterys (4 X AAs) seem to last forever too.

And it's waterproof. (I've had mine to 100m and it's still OK. They're
rated to about 150m or so, so it's going to laugh at the odd plumbing
job!)

They seem to retail from between £20 to £35 in scuba shops. The one I
have has a translucent rubber front which glows in the dark after it's
been exposed to sunlight (or you've turned the torch on for a few seconds)
which is sometimes handy.

Hi

I don't usually read sigs and I didn't see anything pointed to you when
I visited the site.

Now to choose a torch.

I started with the multi led jobs but now my main one is a single led luxeon
from ebay. Brighter than the singles, though both types have excellent
battery life. What you get when you go upmarket is some electronics between
the batteries and the LEDs which really manage to suck the last electrons
out of the battery.
