Undoubtedly the best torch I have ever had.

(Should be at that price! thank you tax paying civilians! )

I picked up an ebat kree t6 based light for my mountain bike. Dead light, and on full brighness, enough to blind everyone for about an hour and a half. Czme with a second battery, so i have plenty of power.
It lasts much longer on 1/2 bright, as well.
The price? A whopping 8 quid. It's not a tactical law enforcement light in military gray though, so son't help you fight terrorism, if you come accross any.

With something like this

total price <£15 for a really bright torch with 2 batteries, 1 in and 1 spare.

That's what I have.

The P7 is amazing: a good balance between 'power' and 'battery longevity'.

Plus it fits easily in my handbag

^This had a few different ones from DX now and they have all been grate torches why anyone pays over £50 for a torch these days is beyond me. They all use the same LEDs and probably all cost the same to make all that’s different is the name and how big of a mark up they have on.

Ive got this one, Well did have until I left it in a false ceiling grid in a office in Leeds last week.

I would recommend the XM-L emitter (LED) over a P7 had both and they are similar brightness but the XM-L lasts a lot longer using the same batters and output far less heat. If you leave the P7 on and don’t move it it gets very hot.

That looks exactly the same as this but this comes with two batters a charger and a car adaptor for even less

How on earth do they make a profit?

Be afraid, be very afraid. You will, like many of us from the torch thread, find yourself with more Crees, lumens, weird named batteries and one handed zooms that you thought possible before heading down this road. Lenser, Maglite, pah! Hundreds of lumens for the price of a paperback! That's where it's at!

So many people remain to be preached to, and bored about these little aluminium tubes but I can't hang around here, got to take the dog down a dark alley lit up like Le Mans!

Nope, no idea either. Is it like an aluminium glow stick? I have dozens from the pound shop if he wants them.

Just a quick update, I bought an LED Lenser P2 which is a perfect little torch for me
