LED Lenser Torches

Nothing like these long dark winters nights to make you realise how easy it buy someone a torch for Xmas and make it seem like a thoughtful gift. LED Lenser has brought the humble flashlight into the 21^st century by imbuing it with the latest in powerful LED technology which truly outshines (crap pun intended) the competition. LEDs make a good choice of light source because not only are they brighter than ordinary bulbs, they require less power too. Leading the way in LED Lenser's Xmas line up is the V² Professional; its aluminium casing makes it looks straight out of science fiction (enhanced by the fact there's a cool laser warning sticker just visible in the pic) and is billed as 'practically indestructible', which goes nicely with the lifetime guarantee. It isn't cheap at £39.95 but its durability, easy maintenance and smart design go someway to make up for that.

There are a few other models in the LED Lenser range including the Keyfinder and Head Fire Power Chip. The Keyfinder, unsurprisingly, is a bit more compact than the V² Professional at 7.1 cm though it still benefits form the same improved brightness and long battery life. The Head Fire Power Chip is more like something you would want to give to an outdoorsy brother-in-law or the like; it is a powerful headlamp that is designed to give a wide range of visibility and should be suited to ripping down mud swamped mountainsides in the pitch darkness. The Keyfinder is the cheaper option at £10.99 whereas the Head Fire will set you back the same hefty £39.95.
