Brightest Compact Torch.

Postby andycoates » May 8th, '04, 12:25



This is just a standard torch but gives out a bloody powerfull beam which may be of use in some tricks. For example the maglite (2xaa) torch gives out around 9 lumens whereas thid little beastie gives out 60 lumens and its slightly smaller and more rugged than the maglite. I've had one now for nearly a year and generally use it when im at the back of a dark venue behind the mixing desk it just seems to light up everything. Eneb on a summers day i was helping a mate filim for a shot near Berick and this was a long shot with the camera about a mile away from north berick law (a big hill thingy) and i was flashing the torch and Tim (who was on the hill ) could see us straight away. This was in broad daylight!!! Heres some links anyway. Enough of me blabbing!!!

Was out camping at a bikers festival with this little gem and it was on the moors so no streetlights. I swear it lit up the clouds, the size is deceving. Whit wait i hear you say how bright is this little beastie!!! Well not as bright as this rather larger hand held beastie

This goes up t 200 lumens, to put that in to perspective 1 table candel will give out around 9 lumens, and this will give out 200 focused lumens. Close to a car headlight.

And this will go up to 500 lumens about half an aircraft light!!!
