Just been looking at the Jetbeam BC40 again and remember another similar torch I was interested in getting a long while back, the Solarforce M8.
The M8 is only $5 more than the Jetbeam, but it appears i'd have to purchase a separate smooth reflector for the jetbeam so they probably work out the same. I like the fact the M8 has more modes as I think the 2 modes of the Jetbeam isn't ideal. But I'm more interested in getting the best torch in terms of build quality and also i'd like it to have a decent throw.

Had a good look online and can't seem to find anything comparing the two lights, which seems odd as they are very similar. Found one post on CPF, but its not had any other replies, so relying on one persons findings: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?316182-Solarforce-M8-Arrived-First-Impressions
Looks like the M8 is the one to go for if I'm after throw. I'd still be interested to know which light had the best build quality though.

Whats the exact branding on the Tesco torch packaging. I know if I just recommend people get the Cree torch they are more likely to get candlesticks then the right one

Thanks, I do see quite a few of them on tesco direct now including 750 lumen for £70
Ouch.
Still waiting on my Shining Beam mini, been 2 weeks now
It's that time of the year i'm afraid. Hong Kong postal service experiences volume increases of between 500% to 1200% in the Christmas buying period.
Actually, Does anyone have a C8 (XR-E only) that they would be willing to lend/sell to me? I'm off to South Africa this time next week so I don't have time to get one from HK.
