MAGLITE SOLITAIRE Advantages: Very compact, robust, reliable and surprisingly powerful for its size. Disadvantages: Expensive full price, but there are lots of reduced ones if you look. I bought a standard black version from a DIY store reduced to £4 and for that money it's fantastic. Still very good value at full price. Exceptional light beam for such a small torch with 1xAAA battery. I got it because it fits in the pen holder pockets on some of my clothes perfectly, so it's always there when I need it and it's well protected. Just one thing, I would advise anyone who gets one to adhere to the instructions regarding vaseline ...

A Superb Little Torch! Advantages: Waterproof, shockproof, great design, bright Disadvantages: None! I bought my maglite a couple of years ago. Since I do quite a lot of camping and going to music festivals, I thought it would be a good idea to invest in a good torch to see me through my camping adventures! The maglite comes in a black plastic protective case. The case is rectangular in shape, it is about 17cm in length and 10cm in breadth and probably about 3cm thick. It has 'Mini Maglite' written across the front of it. This opens up to reveal ... ...instructions that come with the maglite are detailed and easy to follow and tell you everything you need to know (though really putting batteries in a torch and turning it on doesn't require too much reading!) The warrantee is also included in the instructions. The maglite is not too heavy, being made of aluminium, and is easy to carry around therefore making it a great camping accessory. The bottom of the maglite screws open so that you can put ... ivytoad 12.03.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Maglite Mini AA flashlight	Durability Style Comfort Value for Money
Petzl Tac Tikka Head Torch Advantages: Robust, easy to use and good light Disadvantages: none There are so many torches out there at a cheaper price offering the same features so they say. However having owned some other brands that claim to be as good, i found that they often broke, were of poor build quality and were not as bright as the ac Tikka Head Torch. This head torch is of excellent quality, both build quality and light quality. It is easy to operate and its 4 LED's provide bright light where ever it is needed. It is also extremely ... peter3117 22.01.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Petzl Tac Tikka Head Torch	Durability Style Comfort Value for Money
The Fenix is a much better choice Advantages: Well made, nice and bright Disadvantages: Not waterproof, expensive on batteries Maglite have been known for a long time now for their reliability and build quality. I personally think this is mainly due to good marketing. Yes, their products are good, but let me explain why there are better options. I purchased one of these 3D cell torches. It cost me just under £20. The torch feels solid and is well made. It does what a torch is meant to do and produces a nice bright beam. The batteries last OK, but being D sized cells, they ... ...but for torch use are not that great. There are no other features on offer here. Plus, it is not particularly waterproof. Showerproof yes, but heavy rain will not do it any good. In comparison, I purchased a Fenix torch, that runs from two AA cells. It cost me £35 and is a lot more compact. It is waterproof too. The light beam can be adjusted high to low, can be focused nicely and also it has an SOS mode, where if I did get stuck in the forest it ... davomrmac 06.06.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Maglite Mag-LED 3D cell flashlight	Durability Style Comfort Value for Money
An essential item for taking to the Dark Side of the Loft !!! Advantages: Functional and fun ... a cleverly designed and well made gadget !!! Disadvantages: Despite being a torch it will probably be used as a toy (by adults) !!! ... ~~~ THE WESCO STAR WARS LIGHTSABER TORCH ~~~ In a nutshell ... Wesco have produced an impressive gadget that is both highly functional whilst also being fun !!! The product (as an actual torch) has been produced to a high standard.

It has the right look, the correct weight and the detail is fantastic. ~~~ THE FORCE IS STRONG IN THIS ONE ~~~ Wesco could have taken the easy route and simply created an authentic Lightsaber shaped torch and it still would have been a great product.
