Aldi 5W cree led torch

[Bonzo Frog]

Hi All,

Just a heads up for those after a cheap(ish) torch for the winter. Aldi have on sale from today a 5W Cree LED aluminium torch inc batteries for £11.99.
I have nothing to do with Aldi except doing some some of my weekly shop there.

Air fares might bump the price up!

Watch out for the versions with a fake CREE Q5 in them. The fakes have a plain square box with two visible wires and lower light output. The real CREE ones are better made, more yellow and have lines down them with a kind of body and head box configuration like, dare I say, a humanoid shooting target. It is usually difficult to know who is a reliable supplier of the really good ones and they generally tend to be a little more expensive as well. Some will run on a 18605 LI rechargeable battery with a converter ring.

What's the lead time for delivery like? Free delivery in my experience means sending by snail. I was looking a t one for a Christmas present. Good web site though - thanks.
