thinking of replacing my UTorch01

what should i replace it with ?

its compact. 80mm x 20mm
takes AA "size" which i like
like the Low mode which i use every morning
optional to go HIGH / Turbo if i ever need it

Googled, i came up with an "olight S1A" that seems to fit the bill, but ebay nor amazon sell it?

any recommendations ?

looks nice, quality looks great on that (durability)

As its going to be my only Torch, I guess I should get something decent

need a moonlight / low mode for walking around the house at 5am to not wake other people up

other modes for everything else

if i going to be spending circa £75, is this what i should get peeps?

Its great quality. I would use it most days and it has been through a lot. Goes from 1 lumen moonlight to 1500

a lot of good reviews and videos https://www.alloutdoor.com/2018/04/30/olight-m2r-warrior-flashlight-review/

It is expensive but it will last

I watched a lot of reviews for it, seems good

i think the battery size is more common too, struggling to get 1450 for mine

i think i have a problem with mine, its temperamental, no idea if its because im just using AA batteries

Get the one i posted with a Samsung 40T battery and save yourself £50.

Deluxe1 · 5 Apr 2020 at 19:57

I usually go for 6500k just personal preference.

ShiWarrior · 5 Apr 2020 at 20:05

Thanks mate

Appreciate your help

I've got 3 Olights and the quality is good, but I've also got a lot of various cheap Chinese torches and never had a problem with any of them and they probably get a lot more abuse.
