First Torch

[Tonio Anastasi]

The UK brand of torches are pretty good. I've met many divers using them and are quite happy with them.
If you are looking for something to light up holes, and fish, I'd suggest you use one of these new blue light lcd torches. I've been using one for a year now and found that unlike white light or normal lights LCD do not scare the fish away.
If you are interested in seeing colors some torches wash out the colors.
The "blue light" don't.

try searching US surpliers as they seem to be cheaper than uk and with the exchange rate it makes it cheaper but beware you'll be charged vat at customs when it arrives 17.5%

try this link http://www.divetank.com/ProductDetail.cfm?ItemID=571 it will send you to a company called divetank in us there lightcannon works out at £124.30 don't know if they ship to uk but its worth asking!

Dive tank will ship to the UK, I've had stuff (not torches) delivered from them to Ireland. Cheap but their communication isn't the best. Apart from that they were fine to deal with and I'd have no problems using them again.

We do seem to be picking up some old threads at the moment.

I currently use a FA-MI Pocket 40w LED, it is a great torch, been using it for about three years. Not had any problems with it. They are pretty indestructable. A mate of mine has just got himself a Tektite Expedition. It is a serious piece of kit. Really impressive at the Hydrobox on Monday. He got his for about £90 from www.divingleisure.co.uk in Leeds.

On the other hand, if you are after something smaller that you can just pull out when needed I have not found better than this FA&Mi LED torch,

Thanks. I am sure everyone is really relieved with your advice delivered 5 whole effing years after the thread was started.

Blimey some of the advice in this thread is nearly as out of date (12 months or so) as some of the torches that are mentioned in it....LOL....There is now so much more available as Lights and LED technology has moved on massively.
