Tesco's Torch

[Asa Samuel]

Got my 2xAA version for £10 tonight and I have to say I'm impressed. Me and SWMBO went out for a walk just now and we stood with it off for a while and our eyes adjusted to the darkness, when we turned it on it was pointed at the ground and I actually flinched it was so bright even pointed at the ground.

Best torch I own by a mile, definitely glad I got it

Don't suppose anyone knows the lumens on the AA version do they?

I bought the 2xAA one today.

After comparing MartinK9s one last week with my Fenix P3D,there was nothing in it really.

.

Just the price

I have a Fenix AA and a Tesco AA, both have Cree emitters.

The Fenix is brighter and has five modes. Tesco's is bright but not as bright and has one mode.

Fenix has a HAIII finish, I don't know what Tesco's has.

Build quality of both seems to be good but I haven't dismantled them to see how good the soldering is.

The Fenix has a regulated circuit, I don't know about Tesco's (I would imagine it does).

Tesco's is excellent value for money. Fenix isn't cheap but it's not outrageously expensive either and I think for the features and quality it also represents good value.

Here's a link to a CandlePower Forum discussion about the Tesco lights with beamshots.

I bought the one watt 2 x AA Tescos Torch after Ole Smokey blinded me with his! I got mine in Tescos in Milngavie for £8 ish. It's never going to be a torch I pack with but for a general torch while out and about or in the car kit, it's an awesome piece of kit.

I bought a torch for 8 pounds (usually 12 pounds) off tescos - superb build quality and exellent, strong beam for the price. Anybody else used one also who could comment?

I also have one and its a good bit of kit.
