Any one got one , are they any good.

Thinking of getting one to keep in the car, ideally would be nice to find a recharable version.

Welcome any comments.

TIA

I have a rechargeable one made by ring, its a superb torch but it cost £48

I've bought a couple of 28 LED torches on Ebay & they are very good for the price.

I've an LED inspection light made by Black & Decker. It's bloody fantastic. Last for ages on a full charge, because LED's use less power.
Very bright too  8-)

Gotta be worth a go for a fiver!

Do be aware that LED torches are ok for general use but, they do not pick out the detail well as they are effectively only 3 narrow bandwidth colours of light (Red/Blue/Green).

I do use one but, I also have a filament maglight to see detail with.

Bit overkill with 100 led's
With the newer LED technology you only need 1 LED have a search for Luxeon

I just fancied something basic to keep in the car, the inspection lamp sounds a good idea, I just want it there for basic needs like changing a wheel in the middle of no where.

I bought a wind-up torch to keep in the car for emergencies, 1 minute of winding gives about 30 mins of use. Cost less than a fiver and never needs batteries.  

[Mr Skrunts]

Sounds interesting.

Solar, wind up or Batteries.

I have a fetish for led torches  

We get some cheapy metal bodied ones at work for about 50p, mint. Only a few LED's mind, I have one in the car also, works and lasts well.

I bought a couple of years ago a 6 led torch from Halfords, you can select 1 or 3 or 6 leds on and i think they still sell em.

The reason i mention it coz you can use it like a normal torch plus press a button and the body of it spreads out in a tripod so it will stand up and you can also swivel the light direction.
Handy for when you need both hands!  

The batteries fit inside the legs of the tripod, each leg takes 3 x AAA batteries, so 9 in total, but it will work with 3/6/9 batteries fitted.

Bearing in mind i use it for jobs on the Omega sometimes, i also use it for dog walking, so during winter months every day for about 30 mins a day........i have 9 batteries fitted and they last 12 months with all 6 leds on

I have one that you can shake to recharge. Make sure no-one is watching from behind when you do, though, because they could get the wrong idea.

I agree that the light, although seemingly bright, is not ideal for everything.
