anyone got good recommendations for a torch (not light for bars - has to be a torch) from ebay for ~£20 with battery and decentish build quality and beam pattern? there's so many out there it's pretty much pot luck unless I get your friendly advice. Was going to use Torchythebatteryboy's recommendations but he's not selling many torches now.

Prob ideally UK seller as would prefer some comeback if faulty, and I want it within a month - but happy to take recommendations.

I got of these [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170915942900?var=470203091558&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 ]1600 LM torch[/url] Seems good value for £25

Very, very bright. Seems quite well made but I've only had a couple of weeks so not sure about longetivity.

for an extra £10 you can get a fenix E25...

it uses 2 AA batteries, i doubt you'll get any more lumens for a 'burn' time of 2ish hours.

delivery is very quick...

I know it's not strictly a UK seller for any comeback, but for speed of delivery, don't deal extreme now have auk warehouse (albeit with limited selection of stock)?

I've been using one like this http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=290778308356&index=1&nav=SEARCH&nid=16271768808
For about a year. It has an excellent beam and the quality is great. Unbelievable value. I got it without batteries as I already had some decent ones from Torchy the battery boy

This is just amazing for the money, and runs on 3x AAA batteries...approx 2 hours for alkalines from Poundland.
