I have had one of these torches for over a year and it's an absolute ripper!! Super bright, incredibly well engineered and exceptionally well made.
Recently was $AU45.68 delivered. It's now $AU36.36 delivered plus comes with 2x Samsung 30Q 3000mAh 18650 batteries worth ~$16.
For the uninitiated to this technology - while this torch is compact, make no mistake, at full brightness it will cast a beam so bright that most onlookers would assume it was coming from either a massive (older tech) torch or car headlights.
Yes there are more powerful models available, but not for this size/weight (or price).
It is a spotlight with very long throw and a light but wide flood, and is very comfortable in your hand for extended periods. Takes one 18650 battery so it's small and light.
I recommend choosing the 3A tint colour as it IMO gives the most pleasant, natural colour, neither cool nor warm.
Those that don't yet have a charger to charge 18650 batteries will need one. I use the Nitecore D2 and recommend it, however there are many significantly cheaper (and more expensive) 18650 chargers out there. D2 costs $26 delivered from AU eBay sellers.

One of the photos in the description says 1300m throw. That’s not true is it?
