| 1191903 | 2011-04-06 10:14:00 | After using the torch outside when it's properly dark, I say again, wow. Should be standard issue for all PF1ers. :drool | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1191904 | 2011-04-06 10:33:00 | If you are using the torch it should NOT be properly dark. When you find the switch, you will be amazed at the difference that makes - it'll be properly light. |

| 1191906 | 2011-04-06 10:52:00 | Have had an assortment of torches over the years. Eveready with Xenon bulbs, rechargeables, LED head torches, Dolphin, Big Jim, pencil torches blah blah blah secret passage - oops, wrong idiom... So anyway, I finally bought two of those squeeze-dynamo LED units from Hardly Normal. One under the seat of the car and one - umm...somewhere handy in the house (find it when I need to :D) The point is I became frustrated with torches being flat when needed. The rechargeable simply died. Overall my conclusions are: Big Jim lamps with 6V battery are the bees knees. Don't know if they are still sold. Dolphin waterproof with 9V is good and very robust The new bright LED bulbs are miles brighter than standard so are worth paying for A head torch is useful but not all-purpose A dynamo backup torch is essential emergency equipment There is no substitute when the chips are down, for a candle and matches. |
