Same as above had for more than a year

If you have battery power tools in the workshop, I'd consider buying that brand of tool torch and re-use those batteries.

 

[Steevo]

Been looking about on this recently too.

LED Lenser, Maglite and Nightcore seem popular brands. I’m unsure of the benefits/differences of each though.

I have a makita, excellent torch

The cheap led cree torches on ebay are very good value. I use the usb rechargeable ones.
Try one, you will be surprised.

I have a Petzl headtorch, fairly small with 3 aaa batteries - still going strong after 4 years regular use, has seen off various cheapies!

Yes and make it a T6 led, these usually have a green pushbutton. Orange button is not as powerful, I think they're T5.

Forgot to add, 18650 lithium battery is better than 3xaaa which can also be fitted in an adaptor cartridge.

I have one like this (mine is Swinford), on it's third battery, and it must be at least 35 years old and still going strong

This is the only torch for me at the moment. Got 2 of them and give good light and last ages on a charge. Has battery level indicator too. Can stick it bend it or hang it where you want it.
There is another version looks identical but single row of LEDs in it so not as bright.

Pistol style rechargeable torch with amazing spot beam

clulite.cluson.co.uk

Currently use one of these, it’s very good, lightweight and I prefer the pistol type grip, however I’d prefer it had a usb charger (which it doesn’t) so I could use the same cable that I use to charge my lenser head torch, which is excellent.

Have a load of Milwaukee stuff in the workshop, so have an M18 torch in there for working. For general use out of the workshop, LED Lenser.

I keep an eagletac T20 in my pocket most of the time. I find it handy during the winter to inspect all kinds of stuff from eartags to wiring under tractor cabs etc. Very good for when you drop something small when it's getting dark as you focus on the beam of the torch and look properly as opposed to a quick scan and missing the item. It's reassuringly expensive but has been dropped and run over and still runs. The one I have doesn't have a really tight long range spot. Uses 18650 batteries which means another charger etc but I think it's worth it.

Olight is another I have a few. It would also be worth a look at the range is varied with battery ones or rechargeable great for the pocket/car and yard

 

[JeepJeep]

I've a few here from elcheapo to Lensers.

Had 2 rechargeable LED inspection lamps lost one after leaving it stuck underneath a van... and that was the pricey one. Cheaper one got dropped once too many times and dird

Replaced them with a Lidl one. I think it was £20 LED rechargeable. Lasts a couple of weeks lives stuck on side of the tool cabinet and bring it on to charge. Magnetic and a hook and comfortable in the hand. 2 Settings just the end or 2/3rds of its length.

Cheaper than the others but punches at the same weight... if they have them again I'll get a 2nd.

I’ve got one of these
