I have an Arlec RT400 halogen rechargable, about the same size as a 'Dolphin', but has a sealed lead acid battery. I've had this for around 6 years on the farm without problems and it's had a hard life. Only cost $50. The only cons: it will give out without warning and it isn't shiny. :D

Lots of looking to do :cool:
I run Surefires between me and the wife... She pinched my original unit for work! It was the only torch capable of illuminating certain areas of the plant she works in...
Watch out who you're buying from in Kal Pat - there's the usual ripping off going on.
Went to the camping store closest to the Exchange a few weeks ago, and he quoted me $75 for the new LED Maglite - special deal just because he got a shipment in at bargain basement prices from a "mate in Perth".
Went around to Freerange and got the same torch off the shelf for just over $60.
Needless to say - there's one camping store in town that I don't frequent.
The LED Maglight is good, by the way. Used it at work for inspecting the inside of gearboxes (big ones on conveyor belts & crushers).
Freerange is the go,I know Mark well,I buy all my shooting gear off him,I've paid off his morgage I recon.I bought an LED globe of him for my maglight and it made the world of difference,I'm going to get a wolf eye's light but I've spent big money lately on shooting gear,a new minox spotting scope $1100 US so the boss won't let me spend anything at the moment.

I'm with Vlad, I have a TK10 and a little kit of 4 rechargables, can be charged from a car with the included charger, It blows my 6D Maglite out of the water,Quote:

If you have very deep pockets you can get the led lenser x21 produces a massive beam does retail for about $500 bucks though
Hi
We have the LED mag lite, had it for 3 years now and its still working like new on the origional 3 D cell batteries During this time it has been used extensivly, even as a light in the tent while we read before bed, We still have the spare D cells and I'm wondering if they will be any good when finally required.

was looking at the fenex from led torches in the kit gun mounts etc but then spoke to glen at wolf eyes and got a real good deal so went that way dealing with them direct is also much cheaper the other places Mitchells disposals quoted over $400 for the same deal:)
I might be out of date, but my dolphin torch goes alright.
If you get a chance put it up against any of the new leds you will be surprised at the difference and batteries last for ages:o
