Bought a cree/COB LED torch from 3bay, via china, for just over a quid that focuses, strobes and has an SOS function. So pleased, and with knowledge that it will fail quickly, that bought another for 56p and am bidding on a few more. Also bidding on battery adaptors that take 3 or 4 AAAs to make C and D cells for my maglites. Aldi supplied a nice COB worklight with magnetic bases for a fiver. One can never have too many torches. Well, I say "never" but obviously, blah blah blah
