it the other to tap it to achieve some kind of Satisfactory illumination . Changed the battery twice with the same result. It has one advantage people can hear you coming in the dark from the tapping noise. I agree with Dene, bring back the bulb!!!

New technology reborn this old tired torch – I purchased a new Maglite 2AA LED the other day based on the fact that I wanted to try the new tech that Maglite are putting out - and to be brutally… Read more

honest they got it right! The older single function LED's that they brought out were a decent step forward in the right direction but these new LED's are fantastic!

So what's the difference about the new Maglight LED to the old? Well it has 4 modes of use unlike the old which only had 1 'on and off'. The modes on the new Mag 2AA LED - 1) Full beam light power, 2) Dimmer beam light power (25%), 3) Strobe (Blinks approx. once a sec.), 4) SOS (Very handy) - these modes are controlled by turning on and off and cycling through the modes consecutively until you find your mode wanted.

The light emitted from it is crisp and white light - unlike the previous series one Mag LED's - its similar to natural white light unlike the series one which was quiet warm yellow light, and they at Mag state on the pack that its about 80 lumen's and a working distance of about 140 meters (couldn't test due to inclement weather!) - but around the house and through driving rain the beam is very prominent and works beautifully from spot to flood from a slight twist of the head.

From what it seems the Mag LED is exactly the same as the other Mag 2AA's in dimension, so the filter kits and pouches etc will fit and there are some pretty nifty after market items you can buy for these - including Bust A Cap ends and pouches, filter kits, wall mounts etc etc etc.

Otherwise this Mag saved me some hard earned dollars on buying another LED Lenser (M5) which has the same rough output but only 3 modes (Full, half power and defence strobe) which in turn also I found that the smaller Led Lensers dont feel as secure and durable as a Maglite 2AA LED, just something feels right about the Mag in comparison to the Led Lenser???

Anyhow I assure everyone that the 'NEW' Maglite 2AA LED will please everyone with its upgrade - I am very pleased with what I have experienced so far and carry it with me like a EDC, on my belt when I go to work at night and in the car when driving at night - just gives me reassurance of giving good light and dependable performance when I need it most! Quality torch as you would expect from Maglite USA, new LED emitter gives more and clearer light, better value, longer run time and more modes compared to series one MAG LED's. Wish it would have come with a slightly better pouch - or even with a big logo on it.

The torch arrived in a cardboard box, other than the plastic sleeve covering the case there was no other packing, although that was not needed… Read more

because the plastic case provided very good protection for the torch.

It came with it's main rechargeable 3.7 volt 5000 Ah 26650 battery, a sleeve to fit the more popular lower capacity 18650 battery and a holder for three AAA battery cells as well as three AAA alkaline cells. A USB A to C charging lead is included.

Fitting the battery is easy and I put it on charge as directed before first use. It seems to be an extremely well made product. It has a solid feel with a weight including battery and strap of 365 grams a length of 172 mm, body diameter 35mm and a head diameter of 49mm.

It has a single push button switch that can scroll from high, medium and low ten to strobe and then SOS and off. Holding down the switch for 3 seconds from any function will turn it off.

A good feature is the amount of charge indicated by an LED display just avove the on-off switch. Because it is only a 3.7 volt battery, charging is quicker than many torches compared to those that use a higher voltage as an internal inverter is not required for battery charging. Charging is via a USB C input and there is a USB A output.

The light output is extreemly good with an ajustable beam from narrow to wide. It's claimed maxium light output is 30,000 lumens.

I certainly can recommend a Shadowhawk S1695 for those people who want a powerfull and compact rechargable torch.

Brilliant – Had one for maybe 4 or 5 years and I love it. Lights up when visiting the loo at night and tells us of the cats nocturnal wandering. Excellent value for money and I see price has dropped considerably.  Show details

Same problems as others stops working – Thought it was a good torch, awfully expensive, worked fine for a while, but chewed through batteries even when not being used. Now wont turn on at all. Stay away, far away, from anything with Energizer and Torch on the same label. Show details

strap keeps undoing – Overall this is a reasonable light, however, I have to keep adjusting the strap as it keeps going loose. Kind of makes the hands free on-off switch redundant if you have to keep touching head/strap if hands are dirty.

switch contracted perfect image who sent out a replacement free of charge or hassle, absolute pleasure to find a company that stands behind a good product. The torch is a 3 led 3 function torch being high/low/SOS with a range of 300+ metres and very bright, l have found pricing varies greatly depending on where it is purchased $69-$148. Highly recommended torch and supplier, l have no affiliation with the company other than being a happy customer

Purchased the Olight Oclip Pro Max predominately for use whilst working on my vehicle as a work light. I am totally blown away with just how good… Read more

this little light is. It has three lights: Flood, Spot and Red. The Flood and Spot each have three intensities and the Red has on or flashing. Both the flood and spot on high are absolutely fantastic in performance and much, much better than I was expecting. The light also has a strong spring clip and can be worn on a shirt, cap or belt or alternatively it can be held in place via its magnet on any ferrous surface or hung up with a small hole provided on one end of the clip. The light is smaller than a box of matches and weighs nothing. With its small size and clip on ability it is totally suitable for walking about at night or a reading lamp or with the red light set to flashing you could attach it to your bicycle as a rear warning light. So many uses. Such a brilliant product (pun intended)! It recharges via a USB to C type cable which is provided. I don't know how long it lasts on high setting which the manufacturer quotes as 500 Lumens output but I have used it on high for two hours straight already with no loss of brightness. I own several LED torches and a couple of work lamps and this little thing beats the work lamps by a mile! I purchased it via Amazon Prime for $47.96.

I have so many powerful LED torches, but some of them are quite complicated to operate. Not so with this Nitecore EDC17. AN ON/OFF switch on one side for the green laser dot, and a sliding switch on the other side for the torch beam. Super quality.

Cateye Volt800 bicycle light – Brought this light for my bike a few years ago now but it still is the current model they sell The build quality is really good and has stood up to… Read more

a lot of use over the past few years. Even getting dropped onto hard concrete sees nothing more than minor paint clips to the unit so its well made.

The light output is really good with its claimed 800 lumens living up to the manufacturer claims.

The rechargeable battery is easy to charge and lasts a decent amount of time depending on light settings. Even after a few years use it still charges and lasts as long as it did when new so its a good sign of quality.

Easy to mount onto most bikes and easy to remove for charging.

At full power its more than enough light to safely ride at night.

This is the most amazing, robust & reliable cordless spotlight you will ever own! – Whenever I go camping or boating and have this with me, people fall in love with it. It has a really bright (1000 lumens rated) spotlight which has… Read more

a true 400 metre throw!

Whilst Dewalt rates this torch at 1000 lumens, I suspect that is very conservative as it outperforms many torches I have which are technically rated above 1000 lumens. It runs on the 18V or 20V slide style rechargeable batteries.

I have just bought my second one of these so I can leave it in my boat. Exceptional performance and remember if you don't like it, Dewalts 30 day satisfaction guarantee has you covered! You can return it for ANY reason if you should not be satisfied with their tools, providing you bought it from a registered dealer of theirs.

Having said that I am a true Dewalt fan and have never had to return any of my 40 plus Dewalt tools for ANY reason whatsoever! You can hence see why I am such a fan.

Pretty Good Portable Floodlight – Quite a handy little floodlight - light, compact, 1.8m long power cord, damn bright, and a clamp as well. This is so handy to use outdoors for some… Read more

extra illumination - 1600 lumens to be exact. I also love how spread out the light is, there's no hot-spots at all, just a massive area of light. Did I mention that it's only $25?

Just great for a temporary setup - party / worklight / painting, just plug it into an extension lead, clamp it onto a convenient place, and you have a huge area of light.

Quick, easy, effective and cheap - what's not to like?

The Perfect torch – I thought a torch was a torch till I used a friends Olight Javelot Pro, and realised how bright and clear these torches are. So I had to get one and… Read more

I updated to the Javelot Turbo the main reason being a longer battery life. These torches are perfect.

Lights up the dark light sunlight – Nitecore has TM28 listed as Search and rescue torch but I got it for hunting and outdoors and I think it suites this purpose excellent, it's running… Read more

4 XH-P 35 HI LEDs powered 4 IMR 18650 batteries. The light features a double stage electronic switch that controls the LEDs, and a digital display controlled by a separate single stage electronic switch. On the display useful information is displayed, like the level and output, the runtime left, internal temperature and battery voltage. The TM28 features an integrated charging system for the 4 IMR 18650 batteries. The torch comes in the pouch with the batteries inside, manual, spare o-rings, adaptor for using flat top 18650 and charging cable. The body feels a little short and the head rather heavy, but when the 4 18650 are inside, the light feels well balanced in the hand to hold. Upon my first test after fully charging it it does indeed light up the night like daylight and has a very nice throw with plenty of width I do believe that it can throw 655 metres after taking some measurements from testing but anything over that isn't going to happen, I feel nitecore should include the rapid AC charger in the box considering what you are paying for. I've tried to locate the NBP68HD Battery Pack for testing and performance with the extended battery but as of yet I've not been able to locate one. Honestly if your looking for a high performance torch that rivals some handheld spotlights then I can recommended you look at the TM28 the RRP pricing is asking a bit, but they are going on sale all the time and if you can get one on sale I highly suggest you give one a go.

Family friendly security tool – The Marauder 2 lights up areas to the point that there is nothing that can hide, Ive owned the first model but have to say the Marauder 2 is much better as you can easily adjust the power and beam. Love it Show details

for me this is a very well designed headlamp at a good price – I saw some poor reviews of the black diamond Spot, and I accept the small number of people (6 at the time of posting) who expressed an opinion have… Read more

mostly not had a good time with it.

However I have been very happy with the revolt 350. I find it very well designed in the way you do not have to cycle through high/med/low/strobe each time you use it. In fact strobe was pleasingly hard to find - Im still looking for anyone anywhere in the world how has actively needed strobe mode. Even better it remembers the last setting you used, no need to cycle through anything. Its almost worth buying just for that.

I also find the different settings useful, including the red night vision light. And the lock function to stop accidental turning on is excellent. I started using it after I accidentally went through a set of batteries while in my backpack.

In summary, I think this headlight has been designed by people who actively use them.

For the Revolt, the price was quite reasonable. I do question how an led mounted in a battery holder with headband can cost well in to the 100s of dollars. This one was less than AU50.

On the downside, the light is sell constructed in my opinion, but doesnt feel like an expensive light if that sort of thing bothers you.

The batteries are held in place with a plastic clip, which I would expect to be the first point of failure after prolonged use. However mine shows no sign of this happening, so I have nothing at all to support that thought.

Also if you're not handy with gadgets, it can take a bit of getting used to how to operate the different modes.

And lastly, its one of the lowest models so the output is adequate for camping, but not blinding. Arguably thats ideal as too bright a camp light tends to blind your camping friends. But if you want to light up possums or kangaroos simply go for a higher end model with more output.

At the end of the day, I would purchase this headlamp again at a similar price point - but I havent had any failures or other cause to dislike it. Certainly I couldnt find anything with the same features I list (all of which are important to me), with most alternates disqualifying themselves immediately because you have to cycle through the strobe setting each time you use it.

unit is easy to charge and the head band sit comfortably on my head. The H30 come with variety of features from red and green light to emergency lightning for a prolonged period. However I am only interested in the brightness of the beam. It ability to focus with my zone of vision is excellent. When I trail run I like to see clearly within 5 metres and H30 performed excellent for my task. One of the important feature with this unit is the ability to dissipate the heat.

Overall very satisfied with the unit, and no it is not cheap. But if brightness one require at night for running then a must.

Great little item. Tiny but mighty. Buy a spare battery. Super bright for its size and compact enough to clip onto your cap if you reverse the clip.… Read more

The battery life is still decent but if you’re going to be using it for a while at max brightness, get a spare. Has a strobe function and adjustable brightness, which is all user friendly.
