Around 1994ish, mum bought me a superb Nightsearcher krypton search torch so I could see when traipsing across the fields to see the old pony and check on her cows (her cows then note!) Fabulous thing, stand in 1 spot and shine all around the boundary hedge and see eyes glow back.
It eventually died etc and was upgraded to trio 550 the 2000's some time and around 10 years ago I bought a 2nd (a bit slow here and only found out a couple of weeks ago that the 1st 550 was a ni-cad battery, the 2nd lithium, yes difference in weight but never really bothered me, as said, slow here!).
A few years ago purchased a Nightsearcher explorer 800, wow! But here is where the problem lies.
I have a thing about torches! I like them, but I am NOT interested in any torches that you have to press the On button so many times to get the beam as to how you want. All mine, the default setting is the main beam, which is great.
Mum keeps "borrowing" my 800 and wants one, but it was discontinued several years ago. I've suggested current models of Nightsearchers but she likes mine (no, she ain't having it!)
Good strong clean beam, not too heavy, simple on/off switch, no faffing about etc preferably rechargeable with decent battery (800 is 18650 or something like that).
Any body got any ideas?
I've looked at Nebo 1000 £40.00 as it's similar'ish to mine but I don't have any history with Nebo and tend to stick with what I know.
