As a chimney sweep I have a vast array of LED torches, all recommended by my mate who's also a chimney sweep, whose hobby is torch collecting and testing. At the moment, the best budget torch for your money that gives and unbelievable beam at 5000 lumens is a Sky Ray King http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Skyray-King-3 ... 337f87f772

But, it doesn't take AA or AAA batteries, so what you need is an Ultrafire Cree XML http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1800Lumen-CRE ... 46096ef032

1800 Lumens, takes 3 AAA batteries or 18650 battery

How come the sky ray king is shown with AA batteries?

[Harty]

They're 18650 batteries that look similar to AA, but twice the size

Cheers...and £40. Ouch. I might try the other one.
Need one for work. They supply us with one, but it's mahooosive.

LED Lenser

I use the P7 now, knocks spots off my old mini maglite

I use a Petzl Tikka head torch, I have had it for 10 years and has never let me down.
It did cost me about £28 back then.
Light waterproof and bright on the high setting.

Continuos.
7 hrs on High
40 hrs low
200 hrs flashing

It's one of the best bits of kit I have ever bought ( apart from me leatherman )
