Spec me a torch

Shure · 7 Sep 2007 at 11:08

Any recommendations for a torch for around £30?
Its just for typical outdoor use and size is not important.
I was looking at the Inova X5 but I have a feeling it may be a bit of a gimmick and they may be much better out there for the price?

I was going to post a Spec me a torch thread but I didn't want the shame of doing so. Thanks to the OP.

www.fenix-store.com - Fenix L2T v2.0 RB80 Black $47.95 -free worldwide shipping.
I've just got one of these.
I'll try and get some comparison photos with my other torches.

Found it in the UK for £34 http://www.fenixtorch.co.uk/led_torches/fenix_l2t_rebel.html

Do you know how this would compare to the Lenser Police Tech 3?

I recommend a candle. Can start fires with it if you need. Can't do that with a torch.

How long do the batteries tend to last? Ideally I would want 3 hours at least on full flame!

Does anyone in this thread have any experience of the other fenix torches in the range? I've decided to get a fenix but which one :confused:

I can't decide between the L2T, L2D and the P3D

If you go for the P3D, you need to get rechargable cr123's otherwise it will cost a lot. Good charger and cells at fenix-store though.

This may be the downside to the P3D it seems quite hard to get hold of any CR123A chargers!

I think I've decided on the L2D Rebel version from www.fenixtorch.co.uk I like the appeal of regular AA batteries and it seems to be perfect for what I want.

At £36.99 its not much more expensive than getting it shipped from the states and risking customs etc.

Unless anyone can explain why the L2T might be a better buy?

I knew it would be worth starting this thread! :cool:

Many thanks for the pics Tomsk its definately made my decision.

And thanks to you Mr FenixTorch. My order and email will be on its way to you...

Could someone please explain what the tactical momentary-on function is and what it would used for?
