Thanks, unfortunately out of stock :/
Currently out of stock...
Any thoughts on "FENIX LD22 2015", it's a 2xAA light, which I will probably find better in the hand?
or a "ThruNite® Archer 2A V3 CREE XP-L V6 500 Lumens" also a 2x AA

Has LED tech largely stalled? Not seen anything too tempt me to upgrade my 2 current torches - Fenix E35 UE and a BLF A6.
The multi emitter torches - any good?

Saw this posted on reddit for various promotions on at the moment, some great deals. The Lumintop I've ordered in Rose Gold 
That will likely replace my BLF, similar size, but with more power.

Good choice 
I have two variants of the skyray king. Both are very reliable and throw a lot of light for the price

Where did you purchase? Seen a lot of places with reviews saying LEDS died.

Evening folks. I've currently got a Fenix P3D which I keep in the car. Would like to get something similar for use when walking down the country lanes to the local pub, any recommendations?

What would make a good replacement for an Ultrafire WF-501B (supposedly 1000 lumens)?
Looking for something:
- No bigger than 180mm (L) x 40mm (dia)
- Runs off commonly available rechargables (18650, perhaps)
- Insane output on highest power
- Several hours battery life on low, with enough output to light up a small room... say, 10 lumens min?
Ideally with a tail switch and micro USB recharging too, but not essential.
I'd love something like a Nitecore TM26, but that's a bit too bulky!

I recently bought a Chinese knock-off Cree xml-t6 torch.
Actually very happy with it as a small torch with incredible power, frankly. A friend saw it and decided to buy one with 6 leds in it, and it takes 4 18650's instead of one (of course) and it is easily 4 times more powerful than mine.
However. I am looking at a 12 led torch for mega flood at the local dog park in the dark nights, but the torches still only take 4 batteries...
My question is, does this likely mean the output of the leds isn't as strong and as such there is a max amount of led's to batteries before you see a drop-off in power.
Or do the batteries kick out more to compensate and the battery life is radically reduced (which doesn't bother me)
Thanks.

Not all batteries can output the same wattage or have the same capacity. I guess it means you better get some really nice batteries to have a chance it'll work ok, dont use multiple unprotected batteries like I did. Its not a good idea in an unregulated circuit afaik
Sometimes more is less, get a quality torch instead is likely the best choice. I have a 1 LED torch and it gives out 900 lumen which is enough, takes one battery but it runs out fairly fast on the highest setting. Give us a link to your torch
Looks ok, I tried a few of these chinese toches. Rough life span is about a year or so, after that something breaks usually but still its fine as a cheap job
1800Lm - expect about 300 or so I'd guess.
Somebody else posted this but it seemed a really good deal for all parts included. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00K14VC7U/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Comparing to listed modes on a Fenix all 3 LED together is about 400lm which for 13 quid all in is great? not fallen apart yet though Ive not used it roughly, the batteries are about half the capacity listed but arent terrible

Check out the one I linked above from ebay.

I've been very happy with it and it's very powerful. The build quality is superb too.

Cheap Chinese torches are fine but I wouldn't use the batteries or chargers that come with them.
