Rolson single led torch,

[Zed]

Well the other day my partner had to go into machine mart as has a account there through work,she saw these on the counter for £3.51p she thought i would like them   this never happens by the way   well i opened this am, they run on 3 AG13 alkaline batteries , there well made out of aluminum,single LED, ok its not as bright as my tempo but you get 2 of these for a pretty cheap price, i removed the key chain attachment as the lowers section was flimsy and added a small ring and lanyard for now , they come in a cool Ti finnish. I think this would make a nice key chain torch,

I've seen these knocking around at maplin too, I'd be interested to know if they're any good

i was a little put off by the battery type, we will see,one probably wont get used, the other wont get a lot of use but i will swap it with my tempo at the moment just to see how it works out, i would of liked a single AAA as have rechargeable ones, but as i said i dont think these will get a lot of use probably a small back up in my bag,

sounds like a carabiner (sp?) torch I have that never gets used for exactly that reason.  I thought about trying to replace the battery but never could come up with a decent solution to get the 4.5v required.

I have one of those.  The keyring attachment is really flimsy (looks like you swapped yours paul) and the tint is real yucky.  But for the price they do the job.

yeah the attachment is really crap i just pulled it off , but for the price should be a ok little back up torch

I have a rebranded (GP) version that so far my children haven't swiped.  Not often anyway   Nice little backup, normally hangs on a hook near the fuse box.

in bits,


they all run down in scale  all bargain prices, the larger MXDL is still my favorite

Those look like solid little torches. They remind me of a Nanolight. Since it uses button cells it should be great for occasional use. The button cells are more costly than AA or AAA cells & sometimes hard to find. I like the looks of it though!

I nearly picked one up too at that price but I have the True Utility 3 led one which is brighter and about the same size. As for the batteries, I bought 100 very cheap at DX and put them in the freezer

wow thats a bargain chris and should keep these going forever, these in watches last for years but i guess these use more power, still should last though,

For the money you could have them dotted all around the place

I gave my wife one of the rebranded (GP), and she's quite happy with it on her keys..
