okay , so a aa power torch be not go to illuminate a room , but these minus mag list torch be incredibly handy to have around all the same . I have a black version for my office and a silver version in my car . what make they so useful be that they be very reliable and very simple to use . my black torch get a frequent workout when I be hunting around under the desk unplug wire , or when I have open a computer case and need to see inside it . I have only use the silver one a few time , but it be reassure to keep in the glove box of the car in case I get a flat tyre . I be amaze by the `` candle mode '' that someone mention . I be play around with my torch while write this review and I would never see that feature before ! it be extremely handy to know and just reinforce my good impression of this device .
