vicfox Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) I bought a 190 lumens LED torch this week and am extremely impressed with it. Thought I'd share the value. I got it from JAYCAR after noticing it in their catalogue. $19.95 and works a treat. I have a P7 200 lumens and think its better than that having a tighter focal point. Runs on 3 AAA batteries. For $20 it a terrific light, so if you don't have a LED torch to mount this is the place to start. Mades a great back up light if you already have one. Fits well with the P7 mount also $19. http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=ST3456&CATID=21&form=CAT&SUBCATID=649 Edited June 3, 2011 by vicfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 If you want to take some time to look through that website you will find a number of similar Torch's that come with Tape switch's for between $20 and $30 inc free postage and a selection of Mounts I'm looking quite seriously at one for a cheap walk about light on my BL22 regards Jacko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenring Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Yeah, Dealextreme is full of them, models that use all sorts of batteries and have different LED's and focus or non focus options. Some of the cheap ones are quite good - a few of the boys here got the Ultrafire WF-008 recoil thrower and have been happy with it. I've had mine a couple of years and been very satisfied with it.

Guest bigfellascott Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Hey Vic Fox, Thanks for the post mate, awesome torches, I just bought one yesterday and can't believe how much distance you can see things at clearly! I reckon around 100m - best torch I have ever owned. Where did you get your torch mounts from? I also can happily recommend the torch, great quality, simple to use, even does SOS, strobe, and has 3 brightness settings! for $20 can't go wrong.

vicfox Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Glad your happy with the light. I got a mount that suits the led LENSER P7 that they make. Cost me $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenring Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 What Solarforce were you paying over $100 for? "Cree" is the name of a company who make the LED emitters. They make many sorts and the actual model of LED will affect how much light, and the sort of spread of light, that you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 i think it was the p1 with l2p and batteries and chrager was around $130. a mate is getting on off ebay for $35 including batteries and charger and has the same dimentions as a solarforce so i see soon if its worth it or save some more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
