I have only borrowed an led version, goes without saying the battery life is fantastic compared with the xenon bulb, I now use an Altkit head lanp truly marvelous,(also has a 5w cree - bit like a search light)

in the Bargain Bucket for a lot less, going to check my Nectar Points buy a box far
cheaper than singular purchase. At £2.99 I've tried them & they're bright good buy
IMO for size & quality

I have one of those sitting in my door pocket in the car. Not as bright as a CREE, but shed enough light for most tasks. Great as a "tactical" flashlight, for stealth camping
Also, because they aren't super bright, the batteries last for ages in them.

I got a pack of 3 lights from Homebase for £5 2 hand torches and a head torch, as you say Adam not super bright so stealthy and kind on the battery power...unlike my other torches - LED Lenser being the exception, that performs really well

I have just gotten the Mini Maglite 2AA PRO+ 245 lumens torch - it like it quite a lot actually. Imho. Maglite is getting back into the LED game with some of their newer LED torches. A thing I really like about the Maglite LEDs is the fact that they shine bright white, instead of the usual bluish hue seen with most LED lights.

I have used a number of different head torches and hand held torches.. I currently own a number of Maglite torches, a led lenser m7, p7, p14 and h7 and a petzel head torch (some are for home and some for work) and the led lenser are a lot better than the rest.. The build quality is unbelievable as is the power... Although The m7 eats through batteries. The p14 is big, solid and heavy duty but is still lightweight.. To be honest my maglites don't really get used unless I'm in an area that is very reflective and the led lenser is too bright. As for the head torches my h7 is easier to use (changing beam/power) but i wouldn't say it was better than the petzel

Sounds like a perfect summary there Dave. Well said.

I still like my Maggie though it's lasted me nearly nine years, and still on the original bulb
