Title: Rechargable Torch/Lantern
Post by: Mr Skrunts on 06 October 2010, 14:29:33

Had a 4 hour power outage last night, so went looking for a recharable torch and also a lanten.

Saw this, are they for real?  £199

I reckon his finger slipped and he put a '1' in front of the number he meant to type. An honest mistake ;D ;D ;D

I have some Multi-LED Lamps and keep fresh batteries about...  I live in an area where we can have 36+ hour power cuts and they are suitable to be able to get good light for a reasonable period of time...

Better still something like this - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Coleman-Northstar-Unleaded-Petrol-Lamp-/280569957697?pt=UK_SportingGoods_FishingAcces_RL&hash=item415345cd41

fitted as standard to many beemers so relatively easy to find

I got a 60 led rechargable lamp 2 years ago from lidl for £9.99 and it's still going great.
the only fault is the hook snapped off :D
