Ive just got back from tescos Jed having bought one,theve got a bigger one for £18 isle 3 is were you find them.
Bernie
Are you happy with your purchase Bernie?
It was actually the larger £18 one that i linked to. I thought it was the one in the link in your thread, but the £18 is lower on the page, clicked on that and thats the one i had the chance to compare my M2 to.
I also have a Zebralight head torch, the CR123A version and i love it to bits. There is, however a seperate thread on that subject.
Why are Surefire so expensive? Because they are made to be 'squaddy proof' to put it bluntly. The military and Law Enforcement need to rely on their kit and when you need light, you don't want to be shaking and slapping a torch to get it to work. I think Surefire is reassuringly expensive and that's why i've got two (M2 and E2E, M2 in my E&E pouch, E2E in my Uni pack). My Fenix is my in-car, 'where's my torch, damn it's in the house, oh no, there's one in the glove box' torch. 1 AA battery and a very useful amount of light. My Zebralight is either on my head or in my Ventile pocket and a spare Petzl Tikka in the bergan.
Still, the Tesco one looks good, need a long term test though................................!
