[Russ35]

I'm waiting for the Olight S1R Baton II to come on offer again as I lost mine last week

Had this on an Amazon deal a few weeks back. It’s a true colour version. Packs a real punch! Rechargeable too.

We've got 3 of these. They are very good.

Also just got a couple of these as keyring torches. More reliable than the 'twist' types and rechargeable.

does the 380 lumen sound accurate?

I haven't measured mine, but I'm not doubting it...

That looks superb! I don't need any more torches, but that Tini is massively appealing.

Generally rather like Nitecore stuff. Have an EA41 Pioneer and a couple of Tubes, one of which has survived being attached to my fiance's enormous bunch of keys for over 4 years, which pretty much qualifies it as invincible...

My 3W Cree XPE-R2 LED unit is 120lm, so that would equate to 10W or so...

I've seen a couple of reviews where it was measured at over 390lm in turbo mode, so seems to be legit.

In a fan of the Astrolux A01 for keyrings but ordered one of those to see what it's like. Particularly as the last time I needed the Astrolux the battery was flat.

I found it quite illuminating.

As a company they do send out a lot of special discount offers. It's worth being on their mailing list.

I don't "need" another key ring torch but I did have to resist hard. Cheaper here £18.63 delivered

Cool. I threw a new email address at ALiE to get a new user discount, and then paid by PayPal to get a further discount. £13.81 in the end

A new workshop torch for Working on the defender,

Yes I already have four snap on ones, but this is big and bright and magnetic! Oh and Snap On of course!

Are there any (cheap) reasonable torches that use 18500 batteries by any chance? I had to buy a new battery for my electric razor and as they came in packs of 2, I now have 1 spare. As my original battery in my razor has lasted for about 17 years, I don't think I'll be needing the spare one any time soon, so could re-purpose it into a nice little torch for the car/my pocket/tool bag/side of my desk/random place where I'll never find it again.

I've had a look on Banggood and Gearbest, but it seems this battery is mainly used in e-cigs and I don't smoke, so I don't need it for that. Any suggestions?

I'm not getting confused with 18650 - I have plenty of batteries (from old laptop powerpacks) and enough torches to go with them.

I know it's a bit of a cliché but get a BLF A6 from Banggood.

Which just happens to take an 18650 which I said I didn't need/want...

He said 18500 not 18650 which the A6 takes. Can't offer much other advice as I have an A6 and it really is excellent and I use it for everything. Unless you want mega 2000+ lumens I'm not sure for the money that an A6 can be bettered.
