Spec me an LED Torch

[The Asgard]

Based on this review, id prolly avoid this one myself :- https://1lumen.com/review/sofirn-if23/

I did read that review and he obviously he didn’t like it but others do. Hence why I wanted some real user feedback. UI seems fine to me. Heavy, no issue. Poor regulation, is this heat related?

1. Dreadful UI
2. Too many modes
3. Heavy
4. Poor regulation

I'd forgotten all about this thread. My Fenix TK12 I got from recommendations in here is still going strong 13 years on! I still use it multiple times a week and out of all the torches I bought its pretty much the only one that still gets used. Just a good no nonsense torch that's built like a tank and does everything I need. Excuse the dust, its kept in my tool bag. Edit: Even though I definitely don't need any new torches as this does all I need, Its not stopping my brain from wanting to check out what Fenix has to offer 13 years on and comparing it to my TK12...

My nite core tube v2 just broke

Need a replacement, ideally stronger keychain
Also like the 5 lumen and 55 lumens modes

I use the 5lm most

When I need the extra , i switch to 55 but that could be higher

If you don’t mind USB C charging and a 5 lumen and 180 lumen mode then I’d recommend the Olight i1r2 Pro or its variants highly. Has been on my key chain for years and hasn’t broke yet.

Can be had circa £13

Olight stuff is overpriced but I was impressed on my i1R survicing the washing machine a few weeks ago!

 

[ShiWarrior]

for £22 i thought that was good
cant remember how much i paid for my tube, about the same i think

 

[Hawk Tuah]

I got myself a Nitecore Tip2 a few weeks ago to keep on my keys.

It's an incredibly impressive light, and incredibly small for its power.

Yes they are when they are at full RRP, but generally they have a sale on every month that can have a good wack off. Yes im a sucker for Olight stuff. I must have spent like thousands over the years and hoard them.

Currently using an Olight Oclip which is a handy little fella and very versatile in a small package.

Please for the love of god, dont get addicted to Olight stuff. I think I have a problem. LOL

 

[Lord-Jaffa]

Needing a replacement torch for work

Budget somewhere around £100 and smaller would be better

Ideally something with a very tight beam focus. I don’t need any other features

Any suggestions?

Anything by LED Lenser really, their focus system is the best ive ever seen without the god awful hotspots that most torches have.

And it's here

Let me know your verdict on it.

Let me know your verdict on it.

charged it, had a fiddle

seems well made
my nitecore broke at the keychain part as it was plastic, no problem this time

i like how they hid the USB-c socket, that's cool

i can operate it with 1 hand (just) as I have big hands

its smaller than I thought it would be

its ideal for me

I have one on my bunch of keys, great little thing

 

[Pawnless Endgame]

I have 3 of these. They're only the size of an AA battery and they are powerful at the fullest brightness! It can also output red, blue and UV, but the brightness from the white light alone makes it worth the price. They take type-C USB as well. £20 each when I bought the 3 of them and they're now £14 each, so I do feel a bit cheated Still happy with them though.

I also have a few "tube" keyring torches on the various bunches of keys (the kids also have one each on their front door keys) .

 

[ShiWarrior]

This was my tube, I had it just over 2 years

 

[Diddums]

Those Tube things are barely brighter than a phone torch

I do need to get something, I rely on my ohone torch far too much at work and it's not bright enough.
