Which Sub $50 Spotlight Torch?

Which is the best torch that can be used as a rechargeable spotlight?

  • I'd be looking for something USB rechargeable 18650 based torch. For example:

    Don't know anything about this one.

    You need think if you want a floodlight, or spotlight. Personally I find flood much more useful. Depth of reflector determines this.

    • Cheers but I like the idea of getting a local torch in case of warranty as it will be an everyday device.

      • Fair enough, local prices are much higher on torches though. Torch like this locally would probably be $100 plus in store, if available at all.

    i have the 2 of the smaller version of these from bunnings beam is really good also battery is good rechargeable via micro usb
    si i imagine the bigger version would be really good.

    • This looks good, I see it is rechargeable built in. Is the battery good? I mean will it last 5 years of everyday?

        Not sure about the battery i have had mine for about 3 tears with no issue but for 30 bucks i reckon they are good value

    • No way this light up 1km away in any useful way! I have some torches make it a very long way, but any torch that throws that far is an average everyday torch as you need flood too in most circumstances.

  • What specs do you need i build torches. I can find a good one for you.

    • Nothing fancy just enough to see about 300m for security spotting and general to and from shed etc. Also handy emergency light for blackouts. To be honest I don't think I can get past this Eiger torch that Steve recommended. Being as it is designed for emergencies and being a spotty also makes it a real treat.

      • yea it looks okay for the price but its really big and not the brightest…

  • If everyday use rechargeable battery may not be the most practical especially if you want it to last five years.

    Not rechargeable torch but battery headlamp gives unbeatable throw/flood and within your price range.

    • Cheers but a headlamp would annoy me plus it is too mono purpose if you know what I mean. I wonder if the batteries can be changed out in this Eiger torch?

  • Slightly over your budget but I can highly recommend this one.

    Very well made and sturdy. You need to be careful where you aim this thing on full brightness, it is extremely bright over 500 metres

    • Cheers mate, think I'm going with this Eiger torch seems to tick the boxes of my usage requirements.
