82p torch

Post by ccmummy »

Down our local Tesco today and I found some small LED torches reduces to 82p. Tried it in the garage and gives a good amount of light, particually for that price. :)

You can get cree led torches on ebay for a pound and they are about 10x the brightness. Also not much difference between these and 99p head light and with only 3 leds they will last longer on the batteries

99p stores now have a grip charge duel lamp torch, pretty bright and serves as a very good renewable torch (no batteries). not sure how water tight it is though, not had time to test it. though a sandwich back n a little duct tape solves most proplebs ;)

I really hope they got their measurements wrong, according to the website its a foot across and over three feet long

GM-P, is that a Squeezer ? I got a couple of little hand-crank double LED torches that are smaller then a matchbox from Wilcos

Yeah it's a squeezer, not too shabby for the price, plastic seems hardy enough not squeeky or flimsy. There's is a water resistance issue but only had a quick look, there's a gap by the charging wedge (the squeezy part) only into the gearing, not sure whether it reaches the charge or lights, not had a proper look yet.
