Rik_UK3 - the cheap storm lamps are amazing for the cost, and work really well (great for garden parties) but be warned, because they are cheap they aren't finished very well and there are a few razor sharp edges in the thing. I did open my finger up rather deeply a few years ago when messing trying to light it (admittedly after a few beers), and the gaps to fit the match through are some of the sharpest and sliced skin rather well (or badly depending on your veiwpoint).

With that in mind, they are still well worth it

We had our first "off-on" a few nights back, it was the whole area, not just our close, I have kitted everyone out with head torches

but laid in bed last night both were buzzing when turned off and were flat by morning shame really as they give a cracking light out for their size

Tilleys, got two of em hanging in the spare living room, always fueled up with pre heater torch nearby I case of power outages and as Rik uk said they give off heat as well as light, easily available on eBay, built to last. Nuff said.

Can anyone recommend a decent head torch at a reasonable price. I'm thinking of stocking filler this year.

I have a pile of these from 7DayShop - £4 each.
More than adequately bright and cheap as chips.
