It's now got its own little bolt snap and is tucked up snug under a piece of inner tube on my harness.

Tried to order the LS5 this week, but Lumb Bros didn't have them in stock, but will get some more in a week or two.
So after weeks of faffing I had finally made a decision, then someone comes along and offers me a FAMi Power 50....slightly used but excellent condition, less than a year old, for £100.
I have not used either torch, but am I right in asuming that the Power 50 is brighter than the LS5 (I have not seen either in the water), I know that new it is certainly twice the price.
Any views anyone (sorry Rob!)

ralph is the fami a rechargable or battery operated.if it is battery operated eg the aa type the burn time is not so brilliant i know a few people with the power 40 with aa batteries and they say they use a lot of batteries.obviously the power 50 will use them quicker.the fami will be slightly brighter but i do not know the lumens output,maybe there is a fami owner that can tell us.

but at that price it sounds a good bargain

cheers

I think its the battery one, which takes 4 AA's and has a burn time (according to Fami) of 3 hours. Can't see anything that says the lumens output. Ahh, the dilema.
