Duracell Torches

wizzlebanger

Was watching the gadget show last night and they had a Duracell LED Torch in their destruction test. Retail price around £12 quid I think they said.

Anyone have any ideas on how useful this would be as a bike light? Obviously would need a suitable mount etc.

I need a front light to commute with so it doesn't need to light the way just let people know I'm there. (although the brighter the better! )

Got a thread on here already, The Gadget Show-Wrong Price?

Price is around 24 English pounds, but can be had for 15.

Think I'll get one anyway.

assuming you were referring to the DealX torch, they mark items as 'gift $10', so you don't pay duty/handling/VAT. And they don't charge for postage. $35 is actually a bit more than £20 also.....

The Duracell Daylite 4 Watt is 160 lumens. The P7 dealextreme is more like 600 lumens.

If it comes into a Royal Mail sorting office you WILL be charged Import Duty. I know, I deal with these items every day.

One woman had to pay $75 for a ring sent to her from a relative.
She didn't even want it!!!
