What it boils down to, and do feel free to correct the technical aspect of my statement, is that if you want a tighly focussed beam with a hot centre for looking into small holes, or for signalling and general communication then buy yourself a Salvo. The DIR mob use them for this purpose. If you want bolox loads of light spread over wider area for more general illumination then buy yourself a Solus. everything else is marketing-speak.

You're never going to get a torch good for everything, so why don't you guys both play nicely and play to the strengths of your respect products rather than cat fighting. You both sell superb torches, they just do different jobs.
