Nicepix 5,650 Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 About 8 or 9 years ago I used to buy loads of Ultrafire Cree torches from DX.com to re-sell on ebay. I got 90 lumen red beam ones for night hunting on air rifles and 650 lumen white beam ones for security work. You can also buy belt mounted pouches, rifle mounts, pressure pad on/off switches, rechargeable batteries and chargers from the same site. They are as cheap as chips and I'm still using the white beam ones 8 years later having had no problems whatsoever. https://www.dx.com/p/ultrafire-501b-cree-xm-l-t6-led-650lm-white-flashlight-w-strap-black-1-x-18650-2018239.html One of these plus two 18650 rechargeable batteries and a charger for less than £25 delivered. The 650 lumen white beam torch will pi$$ off any carp angler at 500 yds 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bush Rummager 3,744 Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I had a spell looking for a good pocketable tourch a good while back, and settled on this.. http://budgetlightforum.com/node/60614 Problem was.. i couldn't persuade myself to part with £80 queen quids for the f@@ker!! Like dogmandont.. I've also got some cheap (£15 max including battery) on my mountain bike and also one mounted on the helmet. And to be honest, you cat fault them at all. Cracking value. Very decent beam, but not great to hold in the hand. The suggestion from Nicepix looks a great shout!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thread the cable out the back of the helmet with the battery pack in the jacket pocket. Great for having a nosey over the headges on a night ride.. see what's knocking about. Decent little beam to be honest, but obviously not the right design for holding in your hand. I have one mounted on the bars too 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
