'If you are to have one torch, this is the one.'
Strengths:
Fits well and comfortablly. Won't die on you if it rains. Gives total hands free use. Adequate beam which can focus. Spare bulb concealed behind torch. Great price. Light weight.
Weaknesses:
Beam a bit small for general walking.
Overall:
A great all rounder. Provides all of the functions a walker needs at a low price. I have used it all year round for two years, and it has never failed me once.

'VALUE FOR MONEY'
Strengths:
Brought one 7 years ago, and it is still service well. Light weight and fit very well. Spare part are easily found in the market.
Weaknesses:
As it is using AA size battery, it will die off when temperature drop.
Overall:
A good torch for general purpose and can keep your both hand free. Low price and can last very long.

'SMALL, LIGHT, CHEAP .....'
Strengths:
Small and light. give enough light for tent pitching, cooking, reading and easy walking. Long battery life.
Weaknesses:
Would want something stronger for mountain walking.
Overall:
Leave in you sack and forget. Good little torch as a back up and for camping at a small price.

Forget it if walking over rought steep mountai terrain
