    Possible SXOC Torches

    Right after the response in the feedback thread for a torch i have been looking around whats available. Obviously we dont want some tatty plastic item so I have only considered metal ones

    Here are some that i think are worth considering

    12 LED





    9 LED (1st)





    9 LED (2nd)





    3 LED


    Pricewise they should all work out around £10 so what do we think?

    I will stick a poll up later once some feedback has been given

    Any options for rechargable torches?

    I am liking the idea of the first one Good to see we are all agreeing....

    More LEDs should mean more light, which is better More light means silly people who dont want swirls can hunt them down easier....

    12 led looks good for working in places where space is limited

    Battery life will all depend on what batteries you use

    I think they all take 2 or 3 AAA batteries so you could always get rechargeable batteries which would be a cheaper and more flexible option than sourcing a rechargeable torch

    Which ever one puts out the most light with a decent reflector in it. I've got one very similar to number 9, and whilst handy, the light output is a bit cack really. A regular torch is much better.
