Hand Torch for night walking. Any suggestions.

[Dave7]

Over the years I have just paid a few bob and got what I got.
I have recently enjoyed walks at 0500 (that's morning).
Technology has improved so much. You can get 50, 100 even 200 lumens. I also understand that some beams penetrate better than others.
I DON'T want a head torch and I don't need to light up the universe.
Screwfix and Toolstation do some that look decent for 15 quid.
Any thoughts ?

Use the front light from the bike perhaps?

I take my bike lights with me when I go camping and use them as hand torches.

I've got a ledlenser police tactical torch, about double your budget from screw fix but mine has taken some abuse over the years and is still going! I like the way you can alter the beam from wide to narrow.

You want night vision goggles 😲

This sort of torch is ideal IME, on zoom out it can pick out bunnies over 200 yds away and is very small & portable. Runs off 1 AA battery - rechargeable or not.

Shadowhawk. Cheap, but quite cheerful. I carry one as a backup SAR torch.

I don't have bike lights.....many years since I've cycled in the dark.

What do you use the Dynamo for?

Sounds excellent. If I need to pay that I will but it may be a bit ott for what I want.

I was hoping for your input....thanks.

I don't....it was an attempt at humour.
