dogmandont 9,814 Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 With the long nights back I'm after a couple of small handy torches for me and missus, something handy sized that'll fit in a jacket pocket, I've always used the little keyring maglites but would like something rechargeable.

Borr 5,959 Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 Personally I use my head torch as I keep it in my jacket pocket, runs on three AAA, petzl , I'm looking at fenix atm but more for a lamping torch, they do make the small pocket torches though....

Ken's Deputy 4,459 Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 I carry a Clu-Lite PL2 Mini Pocket Light at all times. Not rechargeable ~ I prefer non rechargeable's anyway. Runs off a single AAA battery. 3 1/4" long, overall. Never know it's in my pocket. Keep a spare battery in my cargo pocket. Hell of a fukking beam on it! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hell of a fukking beam on it! I've a couple of the cheap Chinese cree torches and have to say they've been brilliant but just a bit big for a pocket torch. I'll check out the Clu-Lite. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken's Deputy 4,459 Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 Agreed, mate. I have a Cree (Rechargeable) here. 5 1/4" long and, with that battery in there? Quite a fukking lump! I wouldn't dream of humping it around with me. Even on a belt, it'd get in the way. This little Clu-Lite, even with its battery in, weighs just 38.47g. That's a shade more than a sparrow weighs! I've had far more change in my pocket and never realised That was there. Had this little fukka a few years now. Simple end button. Use it. Drop it back in my pocket. Perfect I have a cheap head light too. Use that when doing DIY or using my hands out in the dark. But, that lives on the side, in here. By the door. Clu-Lite's like part of me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sussex 5,777 Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Got the same one , cracking torch .. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bush Rummager 4,558 Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 After fair bit of research.. i bit the bullet on this. https://www.amazon.co.uk/THRUNITE-Catapult-Rechargeable-Flashlight-Searchlight/dp/B08V4Z7X6N Pocketable. Cracking beam. Picks up the wind turbine here at over 650 mtrs measured on Google earth!! lol.. Only trouble is the on/ off button is shite!! Way too flush with the main body.. i can hardly detect it by feel. Absolutely no chance of finding it with gloves on.. so something to bare in mind before you make a decision. Loved the old Led Lensor P50 i use to have with the tail cap button!! Plus it had the adjustment focus too, spot to flood which a few do have now and i found that a fairly handy feature. I migh sell this thing on and see what else is out there.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
