Led torch recommendation

[Mick Annick]

@Blobber does that have an aluminium body?
Looks identical to the Sealey version which is supposed to.

I just bought the Sealey one, I hate this forum

I'd be interested to know what you think of it - Also looks like it is available in blue as Laser 8577, which also claims an aluminium body.
I suspect its the same thing rebranded be several places.

CK is the cheapest way to buy it, but perhaps its why it has the plastic body.

I bought the Sealey off of Zoro, £17.99, will get it when I’m in the UK in a few weeks, if I remember I’ll let you know! It’ll be handy as my keep-in-the-car torch.

I bought one of these and then bought a load more for xmas pressies, amazed how bright and small it is, 2 modes bright or really bright!

@Blobber

It arrived - so bright - it is the "dogs b@ll@x"

Now I have the dilemma- buy another new tailcap for the P7 at £15 + p&p. Or just get a new torch…

Does anyone know if ultrasonic will fix a switch issue? And do I need to take it apart first, or will magic just happen if soaked in suitable solution?

Good arent they! every now and then you get something that surprises you!

I'm weak.
Can confirm Sealey one has aluminium body.
Black Friday deal, seems reasonable for the money, handy for the toolbox - hopefully it will last.
Thanks @Blobber

The Nebo stuff seems good - I have the 1800 head torch which is USB C; and the Big Larry 2 from Screwfix, which takes AA, but throws a decent beam.

Body is alloy on the CK one - can confirm that - scratched black paint already it alloy under it.

Just a quick thing to note - I've just gone to charge it and noticed the sealey one has a micro USB charge port instead of the Type C on the CK.
It is clearly marked on the description but apparently I can't read.

Just noticed that a twin-pack of those flintronics is £6.99, as opposed to £4.99 for a single. (I think they're the same)
