I've got an MT7, as you say it's a really good torch, very bright & well made.Buy an led Lenser, you'll never look back! P7.2 is what I have and its blinding, literally

This may be the case but I have to check vehicles over at work. See things aren't hanging down. Making sure nothing has moved. I need a bright torchReally bright torches are for people who are scared of the dark. Your eyes can cope with more than you think if you allow them to adjust

This may be the case but I have to check vehicles over at work. makeing a list of things that have fallen off. trying to find damb air leack o wind the slack adjusters off on the side of the road in the dark when the brakes wont come off . I need a bright torch
I used to use a small LL which I still keep on my keyring but the bright one is so bright I see when I have nails in the tires as it creates a small reflection. Checking tires is one of the most import things for me. Had one blow a few months back. Scared the hell out of me!Mrs Robo has a small LED torch for the VCR checks she needs to do before taking a bus out at the start of her duty.
I do it's my licence at the end of the dayAnd of course we're all checking our vehicles before we drive them. Aren't we?
I'm just going to put this out there, I'm scared of the dark haha but that's not the reason I have a torch.When your led on your back or half upside down in a machine trying to look for something that's broken or missing you want all the light you can get. It's got nothing to do with being scared of the dark
I agree actually. Although, not many people are going to spend £500 on a torch, it'd normally be for a good reason to spend that much i'm sure.I mean the new super bright ones I mean some are just way too much and would be dangerous to flash around on a vehicle if other traffic was moving
We are talking about three hundred yards out of some
when youd be looking for a black cow at the far end of the field in the dark of night your eyes wouldnt be a pile of good to you, unless you have a lot better vision then i have.Really bright torches are for people who are scared of the dark.

Counter productive for your purposes most of the time your pupil will just close up. Give it time don't use a light and you will be surprised what you can see especially if there is any moon to speak of
Big light will move that big black cow and it's the buff and light ones that are the hardest to see at night - one reason why Wildfowlers often prefer the yellow dog
Can only tell it how it is
I use a big lamp when I am foxing and a small one for everything else but try and not turn the latter on unless it's really needed for detail work ( about a 50 Mtr beam)
Couldn't agree more.nowhere did i suggest that you buy one, or imply that you should either.
ill take my chances on my pupils closing up as its hard to get the moon into the shed with me.......
just because some of us have a good torch isnt a reason for some others to dish them, i like spending my money on things like that and if your as happy not owning an expensive torch as i am owning one then sure all is good.
there is no need to justify how little people need torches.
horses for courses n all that...
I've been on the carrots all week.I've removed all the bulbs from our house, just don't close the curtains and there's plenty of moonlight available to see by, and it's free!
