Thread: What is a good torch?

Hello Pat, I was just googling an online ad we have and came upon this thread. I manage Wolf Eyes in Aus, you have had plenty of good suggestions. To give you some rough ideas a std Mag 4,5 or 6 will probably put out 80 lumens, an LED about 120-130. You can see our figures on our site, pound for pound we would be very comfortable to compare our units with anything mentioned in this thread. Most of our torches have a photo of their beam aimed at a 1.8m man sized target, then compared with a Maglite 6D and Surefire 6P. It should allow you to make some decent comparisons.

Our website is WOLF EYES Tactical Torches, Ph 1300 911 007

Hope this helps and thanks to all those who said nice words about our product, we appreciate your trust.
Thanks Glen

LED Lenser torches are also good.

Oh, and Glen is very good to deal with (see above post).

umm..... i'm curious why your maglite keeps discharging

i've had 3 different 2xAA maglites for several years, never had problems with batteries discharging by themselves, and each has the rubber collar on it to stop it rolling

ive also got a 6D tucked down beside the seat in the falcon, but its there mostly as an attitude adjuster/panelbeating accessory should the need arise

batteries? ALLWAYS used energiser batteries, but i get mine at a significant discount..... $15 for 24 AA's or $20 for a 12 D's

thought I'd resurrect this thread as I've just bought one of the new LED Lenser P7s (200 lumen; 200m range) for $95 from this mob (no affiliation; just good to deal with and guaranteed to be genuine article): LED LENSER P7 200 Lumens 2010 Special Price - eBay Handheld Torches, Lamps, Torches, Camping, Hiking, Sport.

Unbelievable performance from a small torch...and if you're really keen, you can get the one with a 1.5km range...

Have a led lenser DAVID rechargable $110 exellent torch but I just upgraded to a wolf eyes sniper 260 lumens also rechargeable but very pricey also got gun mount, red lens car charger etc the shock was $332.00 but i use it every night so its worth it

DealExtreme: $58.72 Fenix TK10 Cree Q5 225-Lumen Water-proof HA-III LED Flashlight (2*CR123A)

best torch I have had, better than the maglites

We have 4 maglites, a head torch, and a home made halogen (bike) helmet light.

All are great for various uses.
