Superb, it would be like looking into the sun its that bright

Anyway it says intermittent use only, just wondered why it cant be used for too long a time? does the bulb blow or it gets too hot or something?

More likely the battery wont last long

We use these at work and the batteries always go on them. Don't last very long before needing recharged either.

Good when they work though!

mine last about 15 min max before it needs charging.

i've got one of these, very bright, and yes it due to the battery running out

even bastard homebase do em, battery life is appauling tho i thought mine was just fucked.

dont really see what purpose they serve if the battery only last 10 mins

BM08

Well mine was from halfrauds, got it for a pressie for my dads birthday as he only has a shitty hand torch which you need to bash to make it shine i got this one out of the box and it was already super bright but it wasnt fully charged. I hope it last longer than 15mins though did you guys mean 15 continuous mins, or 15mins spread out between say 2-3 days? surly turning on say once a day for 2mins it would last for weeks surly? especially when they take 20hrs to charge(well the one ive got does)

lukeytheduke

the misses got some cheap one, same spec as yours, it lasts for about ten mins top, fooking quality when its fully charged, you van see it stretch across the fields

20hrs charging= 10mins use? that cant be right still, we'll soon find out when it gets used

It uses a 100w halogen car headlight bulb.

It consumes power at a FAR greater rate than the little charger replaces it at, so yes it is right that it takes a LOT longer to charge than it lasts, dont know the exact figures though.


We have one, its called Dave

We don't measure in candle power and haven't for some years. The correct measure is candela

I promise you, that is right.

Mine, which is old now and only about 1,000,000 Candle power just about gets me out to the shed, quick shufty and that's about it. The amount of 'Oh fucking heap of shit torch' exclamations that have left my gob when using that fucker is untrue.

I swear, the last time I used it, I really thought I wasn't going to able to prevent myself dismantling it forcefully against the wall.

Cant be any worse than a shit normal torch that eats huge chunky batteries and is STILL dim as fck

I'm looking forward to the update to this thread next week when you are truly fucked off as the one time that you really needed the torch, the batteries were flat!!

Been there, done that!!

BM08

Does it just die instantly then or does it get progressively dimmer like a normal torch ?

Christian and Beccy

Progressively dimmer, but it doesn't take long once it starts to fade.

Imagine you have a raging rod-on and Margaret Thatcher walks in the room naked. That's the sort of rate we are talking......
