Can anyone recommend a light weight, durable LED torch that I can stick on my keys for general use. Needs to use a AAA NiMh battery. Beyond that just needs to be rugged.
Any suggestions?

Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
I've used one of these for several years and been very happy with it: http://www.flashaholics.co.uk/olight/itp-a3-eos.html
I have a Fenix EO1 and it's brilliant.
May not be the brightest torch for its size, but it has a ridiculous battery life and is as close to indestructible as you can get
Here is someone freezing it, then boiling it. Still works just fine afterwards.

What a wonderfully altruistic device. If the natives boil me alive then freeze the leftovers I can rest in peace secure in the knowledge whoever finds my remains will have a working flashlight.
Any one used one of these? http://www.amazon.co.uk/launch-Thru...UTF8&qid=1392806352&sr=8-8&keywords=aaa+torch
Just got one, so not used it much. Initial thoughts is it provides a good amount of light for such a small torch, looks well made and only having one mode it's very simple to use. My only slight niggle is the gold coloured thread metal is visible between the head and body when it has a battery inserted. A very low mode would also be useful but, for me, not worth double the price.
Its AAA
Eo5 outputs only 27 lumens. It's enough, but you could do better if you want more light.
LD05 produces 72, but is more expensive.
As Maratacs seem to be almost unobtainable now, I'd go with this 80 lumen Olight that uses the same proven circuitry, and offers different levels.

The Maratac family. The copper AAA lives on my keys and is nicely patinated now.

smaller and brighter, but I prefer the EO1 because of the battery life: 10 times at much as the EO5.
It not very often I need any more light than the 13 lumens on the EO1.
Very cool little lights those. Totally impractical, but lovely. I ended up selling mine, but kind of miss it.
