HI KIETH can i ask were you got your torch from mate how many lumen is your jet beam thanks jon

 

The jetbeam is 960 lumen but only for 3 minutes if using it continuously, it then goes down to the next level.

The fenix is the best of the 2 but is quite a bit bigger and dearer but it's 900 lumen continuous.

Mine came from a place in Hong Kong unfortunately, I would have bought locally but just couldn't get one, flashaholics have the TK41 at a decent price if you use a discount code.

Hi Jon,

 

I got a Fenix TK 75 from Led Fire Torches Welcome to LED Fire Torches | ledfiretorches.co.uk, excellent torch very powerful with 4 power levels, they have a good selection and are a good business to deal with, very helpful.

 

Mine takes 4 * 18650 Li-ioN batteries, get some decent ones for long life & a good 'intelligent' charger ie NiteCore as cheap chargers can damage batteries & cause problems.

Hi NFG how's tk75 going mate as they no do 4000 lum one 2015 one do you run yours with extra batteries so with an extension tube on when I done this original post we had our own torch fixed the close and one halogen know it's broken again so time for a new torch thanks John

Jon, there's a pile of great torches out there these days, small and outputting thousands of lumens with lithium batteries. Just whatever you get be mindful about the batteries - the cheap rechargeable lithium 123C cells that are so popular for these kind of torches can thermally destabilise if one of the cells is a dud in a multi-cell series and cause major grief - its rare, but does occasionally happen. Google it for more expert views. Basically your aircraft grade aluminium tube with sealed ends can become a pipe bomb in your hand that not only explodes in flame and shrapnel, but also spews highly toxic smoke and stuff as well. I won't own a multi cell flashlight that runs on lithuims for this reason. Alkaline are ok, as are rechargeable NiMH as far as I know....

This is what you need Jon.

 

I've got two, and bought my dad one too. He loves it for late night dog walking in the wood. And they rechargeable. In an emergency you can wang some batteries in.

 

Ace torches, had mine a few years.

If you haven't got a GoOutdoors card, just add it to our order, it's peanuts, and then you'll get a year of other discounts.

 

Trust me, they're ace, better than LED Lenser crap.
