Thread: What is a good torch?

Pelican divers torch. Rated to 500 feet. Very durable wont roll away and batteries last for ages

I use a Princeton tec headlight. I was at a camping show a few years ago and I was looking for a new headlight. I was shown the Princeton tec in a shed on a bright sunny day with daylight conditions in the shed.

The shed had a roof about seven metres high and the beam was easily seen on the roof in broad daylight. At a $100 it was not cheap but I got it.

At night it has a beam better than a Dolphin torch. It is getting a bit old and the switch is getting dicky and I will soon be looking for a replacement.

I will be looking for the same as I am so happy with it.

Any torch that is rated to go to Zone 0 is going to give you years of service in the civil department..

I saw one a few weeks ago that seems good, never seen one rolling about, I doubt it'll ever flatten the batteries, and its been in use over 100 years and still going strong in all conditions, lots of people have used them, on road, in buildings, under water, in airtravel, in space, everywhere, and its visible from 1000s and 1000s of kays away...(well I was a long way away when I saw the light from this one)


i think it was called the OLYMPIC TORCH!!!
some for sale in canada at the moment?
