Looking for a small but hopefully very bright torch

[i1301243]

I'm looking for a two mode (On and off) which would clip onto my uniform much like the millions that flood ebay. I want on and off. The ones I keep finding have Off/On/Dim/Strobe. I read about how to modify the board to disable the flashing, using a pencil etc but I find them glued in so I can't get to the boards to try.

I've never found myself thinking "a great torch, but I wish it was just a little dimmer" or "great torch, but I wish it strobed".

Anyone recommend a small, cheap, bright as possible torch please?

Well reviewed and stupendously cheap.

Literally exactly the same as the one I bought, except the ones on ebay don't differentiate between 1 mode and 3 mode.

If I had the Karma to give you I would.

I use LED lenser torches, very bright and you can pick them up on ebay cheap.

I'm rocking an Ultrafire UF-H2.

Kick arse torch. Too bright, never use it on full power, it's like a fucking night-sun. Infinately dimmable.

Conical beam means it's brilliant for walking about with, evenly lights up a big circle in front of you.

It remembers where you set the dimmer function next time you power it up. There is a strobe function but it's difficult to do, you have to mean to set it to strobe. It's just the one button, click on, click off. Click and hold to cycle through the dimmer.

Waterproof.

Magnetic base, pocket clip (and can be used while clipped to clothes due to the 90 degree head) as well as a head-mount.

Runs on a 14500 3.7v rechargeable OR an AA (which is a bit dimmer).

Downside is it has a small current draw due to the dimmer memory so your battery will eventually go flat.

These are cracking value, 2 rechargeable batteries, UK charger. Small and very bright.

I got me one of these in 9000 lumen variant
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6000-10000-LM-3-9-T6-3-9-x-CREE-XM-L-T6-LED-Flashlight-Torch-Lamp-3Mode-18650-/201494377730?var=&hash=item2eea003502:m:m1S0YUGXmrHx0IoglC6VWxA

it bright enough to get cars to think there is another coming along the road and dip there head lights when walking to shop (I live in the sticks).

mine came with 4 batteries and a charger. batteries last ages, can even run off just one with no affect on brightness (although it will go flat faster)

but it does depend on how small and how bright you need to go, 9000 lumens is about the same as 150w incandescent bulbs.
my torch has also been to the bottom of 3 feet of water and still worked while there, and still works now
