SMALL, LIGHT AND GLOWS IN THE DARK!

Small, light and glows in the dark!

performs well given the size/design.

Batteries available from 7 day shop and not too expensive.

OK for emergencies. Need a better torch for serious stuff.

Brilliant (excuse the pun!)

Great emergency/easy terrain torch

FLIPPIN' BRILLIANT

Weighs next to nothing, emits light, battery lasts ages. About £18.

Not great for long distant work - but then it's not supposed to be. Might need to spend a little time finding a backup battery.

Why wouldn't you pack it? Good enough light to walk by in decent weather, great around the camp. Good thing to have.

EXTREMELY LIGHT

So light you will never notice it and still puts out useable light, always lives in my pack.
Can be used as a tailight to guide others when walking apart in the dark.

Batteries (6V Silver Oxide) are expensive and not commonly available so I only tend to use it as a back up to another torch or for emergency use when travelling lightweight.
Some glare from light into users eyes, could do with a small shield.

Puts out useable light, for me a little light is a lot better than nothing at all, usually I just need to be see where I'm putting my feet for the next few paces.
It was good enough for a pre-dawn ascent of Mt Blanc albeit following the lights of many others into the mist.

LIGHT AND COMPACT

Very light as the blurb says can fit in your chest pocket. Can be seen from a distance. Be ssen be safe

Only 2 LED's therefore light not great for walking long distances camp near the toilets

Very useful for reading in the tent and for searching in the tent and rucksack for your book
