Now that would really be something. Useless without a warranty though.

That's a 'flaming' torch you're thinking of! Peterson's do those too.

If I had the time I'd help you, but the men in the white coats are here to take me to bed in Dun Laoghaire, the ferry is leaving soon.

If you all do manage to shed some light on the matter, let me know, I don't want to be left in the dark.

So just did some research there, as I was skeptical of anyone who would offer a 5 year warranty on torches, seemed a bit off...

So I found the inventor of these torches, and after a few pints and a bit of male bonding he told me that the torches are made to stop working after about a month, and that if you have it on for longer than a minute that it will switch off automatically and give you a little shock to boot. He then told me the only reason he started making torches was because he was quite afraid of the dark, but when it came down to it, he just couldn't be arsed making decent torches.

Anyway steer clear, that warranty ain't worth the paper it's written on.

Rumour has it Peterson's in Dun Laoghaire are the distributors apparently they have a 5 year warranty.

Seeing how a small few had to go and ruin it for everyone else, we're done here.

If anyone starts another one of these or similar threads they will receive a ban.
