Recently I came across these tasty looking Cree torches when shopping in the local Aldi.  At £9.99 and with a 3 year warranty these seems good investment.
This torch packs a hefty punch! It's top quality Cree LED is both extremely bright and power efficient. The range coverage when using the adjustable focus is superb.
This unit runs on AAA batteries (supplied) for a decent number of hours. This can be improved if you use Pro rechargeables.

Accessories: Diffuser - a useful little end cap which lessens the intensity and spreads light over a wider area. A handy 'Candle' mode for reading or hanging in a tent.

Pouch- Soft polyester pouch with belt clip. Holds the torch (complete with end cap) securely on your belt. Velcro fastener.


Result: 5 out of 5

For a high powered torch under a tenner this one is hard to beat. The Aluminium body is machined beautifully, the Cree LED is outstanding of course and the 3 year warranty is a bonus.
Tried and tested, this is a fantastic torch.
