Rechargeable Torches

Bush Tucker Man:
I'm after a good rechargeable torch.
At the moment I have one of the big yellow torches that are about 1,000,000 candlepower but only last around 30minutes on a full charge.

I'm seriously considering a Mag-Lite, but the price is a bit high.
Arco Industrial Supplies in Ossett (other side of Wakefield) lists them at £139.95 + VAT :shock:

There are another couple of examples I'm considering such as the 'Nite-Tech X-Cell' at £75.00 (4hours) or £99.00 (8hours)

We have a few of these in out 'MAJAX' store room, but not on rechargeables, which makes sense really, as the stock in there is only checked once a week, unless used (I think last time it was all used 'in anger' was at stand-by the Great Heck rail crash)


The thing about a Mag-Lite is the spares availability & sheer indestructability (within reason)

There's also these 2 providers

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good deal on Mag-Lites?

Have a look at www.niton999.co.uk - they supply police kit, and have an extensive collection of torches - all very hardwearing.  Not to mention so rather cool stuff.

The catalogue is free and glossy.

I have a rechargable MagLite - an expensive (£100+)but fantastic piece of kit. the light beam is incredible - burned my hand with it!!  

It came with both an in-car and household charger.

Expensive , but you have to pay for quality I spose

Bush Tucker Man:
Just wish I'd bought a rechargeable Mag-Lite in Toronto when we were there (1998)
There was a Mag-Lite shop in the Eaton Centre.
It worked out to about £45.00 back then, allowing for the reclaimable sales tax.

Yes I know it would have been a 110v mains charger, but it would have been bound for the 110Tdi
