Went shopping yesterday with the wife……long story…..we did a tour of the pound shops. That aren’t pound shops any more, more like, we sell some stuff for a pound, but most is over a pound now. Gotcha!
Anyway on this around a pound adventure, we went into B&Ms. Defo not a pound shop, but cheapo job and they had Eveready head lamps in, which states on the packet Exclusive to B&MS at £3 99 so I bought one.
Now I have according to my wife, a bit of an obsession with torches. Of course this notion is rubbish, a man need torches as many as he can have. It’s normal, it’s what we do, a torch of differing strengths for each and every job we do. They, women, don’t knit with just one pair of needles do they? No the have needle bags full all over the house, so yes “normal” for a man to have a torch for every job….RIGHT!
The head torch is the new generation of LED lighting, that’s the ones that appear with a squire yellow element with a central white dot when not turned on. Described as COB technology, whatever that means? This HT has the same type, but it’s an inch long yellow strip LED and is rated at 3 watt illumination. Bright but not to bright! I have others HT, 3, rated at 10 watt and they are bright and will illuminate objects very clearly at 100+ yards away.
The new HT has 3 settings, full beam half, beam and flashing but no red light. I had a play with it last night when it went dark and it’s very good and would suit those who don’t like really bright directional HT lights. It has a more wide angle short range illumination. And at the price a really good buy indeed!
Might just be going back for a couple more for those different torches for different jobs
