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 ...

Let there be light
Advantages: Easy to use, no batteries, fun Disadvantages: expensive, heavy,
...may be new to the Freeplay concept so it's worth going into a little detail here. Freeplay products are basically electronic devices that run on kinaesthetic enegy. What this means is that they require nothing more than your body power to generate electricity. This torch is charged by winding a krank (a handle) quickly for extended periods of time. This then generates electricity which is stored within the body of the torch. The torch has a handy ... ...I reach for my trusty freeplay torch, but oh dear, it's gone flat! Winding it is almost definitely going to wake my tent-mate, but trying to find that tree in the dark is just too difficult...
And, last but not least- the price. When last I checked, this torch clocked in at a healthy £29.99- pretty expensive for a torch! However, in its defence- you're going to save money on both batteries and replacement bulbs, so if you you're a frequent camper ...

MAGLITE 3D Flashlight - Damn good, impressive, durable and worth
Advantages: Durable, long battery life, sleek Disadvantages: comparatively heavy
I saw a maglite torch with a friend who had come to my farm. I knew that I had to have one of my own. I bought the 3D in Pune and am very happy and satisfied with its performance.. Its a good buy and extremely useful on long treks or night time camping and adventure apart from general utility tasks. It has a powerful beam and good focus with an awesome range. We also use it sometimes to pinpoint the location of a star or constellation. In my opinion, ...

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 ...

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. The beam itself is powered by 3 AAA batteries and has 4 super bright LEDs (with a lifespan of 1000+ hours) that emit a cool but clear beam of bright blue light. I have used this torch outside at night time and ... ...screen used props) and the Wesco Lightsaber Torch has been produced to an impressive standard of movie authenticity. 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. But Wesco have gone one step further ... and what makes this an absolutely ...
