I've got a £8 ever ready one from asda. It's great.

I was going to ask what you use it for......but on reflection, i dont think i want to know 

[Taxi_Driver]

My hand held arrived this morning, looks ok dont expect alot for £14.99. Led lenser P7.2 wow German engineering

Just googled that.....at only 320l it cannot be that bright??

I cannot see from the pics.......but i hope it doesnt have a 'projector' lense on it??

I bought a cree torch last year with a projector lense on it.......it was like omega headlamps with projectors and filament bulbs ..... rubbish for brightness

Mostly boilers in dark cupboards, I think 3800 lumens cant be right, if it is no wonder batteries only last 5 mins. X21 1600 lumens, nothing can match, but then thats to be expected seeing it the same cost as a Mig

It uses 2 x 18650 3.7v batteries......the batteries that came with it are 3800mAh and last 5 mins.....i have some 18650 3.7 batts that are 3200mAh....they last 30-40 mins from fully charged  ....so its a problem with the batts......dont forget its got 3 x led bulbs....

PS if your using your torch for boilers in the dark......then 3800l torch would be too bright....i go walking HollyDog in the woods with mine....lighting up the woods its fine for  ..... tho im careful not to shine it in her eyes....when i turn to look back for her i shine it upwards....to avoid her eyes

Most likely new torch complete with batteries these companies cannot afford negative feed back

2 x batts 4000mAh....turned up tuesday......these ones are good 

Thanked the selller and gave him a great feedback seeing as he gave great customer service and the cheapest i could find on the bay of E for the batteries he sent me was fiver

After reading this thread, I've decided that I, too, would like a silly-bright torch.
So I'm gonna mount one of the HIDs from my MV6 in a box, and connect it to a 12V motorbike battery.

Might be a bit heavy that, mate.

it'll be right. it's only to look in the cupboard under the steps

when I was in my early teens, I used to have a motorbike headlight + battery that I used to use for lamping - carried it miles every night.
Think I could manage something a bit heavier now.
A 160Ah truck battery might be a bit overkill tho

There must be better and lighter alternatives nowadays, I recently bought an LED bulb for an older style torch, what a difference, my 6 cell Maglight is next for conversion.......

There was 25 years ago as well - handheld halogen spotlamps which were (IIRC) about 25 quid. Designed to plug into cig lighter, so still needed m/bike battery.
Think I paid about 3 quid for the headlamp, and 6 or 8 quid for the battery
