LED torch suggestions

BoardsRanger

If anyone could suggest an led torch to be used mainly for night hiking and also taking the following into account:

• No more than €30
• Not a headtorch
• Preferably AA batteries although AAA should be ok
• At least water resistant
• Bright beam with long range capabilities

Thanks in advance

There is a fantastic company in the UK called Alpkit. They do a very well regarded headtorch called the gamma. It satisfies all your criteria and its only GBP12.00 !!

I have bought stuff from them in the past and they are a pleasure to deal with.

Thanks for the suggestion, but as already pointed out- i was looking for a handheld torch.

if you could stretch €5 more, you could get an older 4Sevens Quark AA (free shipping). Never mind, didn't notice they are all gone, you'd have to go with the newer versions which are 40euro, so that idea is out.



All but one. Not a headtorch

Thats just about perfect bedlam. I will order it tonight when i get home. Thanks

Sorry yeah.. I read hiking at night and thought of head torch straight away. I didnt think anyone hiked at night with a hand torch now.... Sorry, my bad.

If you can stretch for a 4sevens Quark, then you wont be disappointed. I recently got one, and am very happy with it, well built, very bright light. 10 year guarantee with it so you should have no problems.

If not you can also have a look at Eagletac range of led lights, they are pretty good value as well, and get good reports back.

I know this is a bit over your price range but its water resistent and extremely bright, you won't get a torch this good for this price anywhere else i think. 10 year warranty on them too!
