I need a better torch than the couple I'm relying on atm.
There's no point in spending too much as I tend to lose them/break them but don't want a rubbish one either. I popped out late a few nights ago to help look for a kid who'd gone missing (temporarily thank goodness) and realised I could have been 10 X more use if my torch reached further than a few poxy feet. I only normally use one for close up stuff and hadn't given it much thought until then.
Can I get a half decent one for under £40?
I've seen a couple of decent looking ones at the £80 mark but would be pissed off if I lost one of those.
I like the idea of water resistant to a metre as these ones are but can't visualise a time when that could be necessary.
It is most definitely a Torch not a bloody Americanism for it!! That and you can place batteries in them or rechargeable batteries for them to work and when they do work they shine a light which other than a direct beam of light from it, it can have various modes of lighting on it that perform pretty patterns.
Oh and as a kid I had one torch with red, green and blue lenses on it, it was cool as the F word back in the day, things were simple back then you didn't need flashy patterns........................until that one b@stard brought one into school that had flashy patterns, you know the kid I mean, every school had one. next day half the fooking school turned up with one!!

"one torch with red, green and blue lenses on it"
Not sure that's quite what I have in mind if I'm honest.
Thinking more regular torch but hopefully one that someone else has owned and can confirm it won't break in the first week and will hold enough of a charge to do its job.
Olight are well expensive but really good and will last forever. Rechargeable too.
In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!
I’ve often been blinded by joggers wearing a head torch. No idea if they are expensive and you can probably buy the same thing cheaper as a fisherman’s head torch.
That would leave both hands free to tackle nocturnal child molestors too

Those things look ridiculous and have no place on the head of anyone who isn't a mechanic or miner.
