NICRON B74 Torch, 90 Degree Adjustable Head, 700 Lumens High Brightness, IP65 Waterproof, Magnetic Base, Pocket Clip, Rechargeable Flashlight for Hiking, Emergency

THE BEST TORCH IVE EVER OWNED.The 90° head and extremely bright beam are invaluable for my job.Edit: had it for a few months now. Still working great, the swivel still strong like new. Does get hot though after prolonged use.

good torch! the strobe function (alternating high/low rate dazzle) is easy to get to at an emergency but the lock function is kinda useless, makes more sense to click 5 times rather than holding button for 5 seconds to enable lock, no? the led is very bright and more than adequate for any sensible occasion (eg. use floodlights for football stadiums, use palm sized torch for every day use). overall, the unit looks and feels very well constructed although slightly on the heavier side for a tiny unit. on the unit i received the id number is missing on the battery cap but everything feels genuine (idk maybe newer units don't have numbers). anyway, at £18 it makes this torch not just good - it's SUPERB! tbh with the torch and battery, usb cable, extra o-ring and documentation all jammed inside a small unassuming white box is not the best in presentation but it doesn't make sense to pay £100 for a fat cat brand that i can get the same thing for £18.

The torch is brilliant, tiny but VERY bright, it has three separate brightness modes which enables it to extend its usage.The magnetic bottom is very strong and as long as you have somewhere for it to stick too it will provide sufficient light.The angled head also allows you to hook this on a bag strap if you’re walking in dark areas to light your path.Had an initial issue with my first torch, but the customer service team took less than 24 hours to solve, I highly recommend this product!

Works very well. Certainly waterproof - gone through the washer.Is awkward to keep off and often turns off in my jeans pocket when walking.A great torch that’s very bright and durable.

EDIT TO ORIGINAL REVIEW: it’s been such a good product I orders another for my brother to use in his field work as a researcher.END OF EDIT.I am Very impressed with this Torch.It is as bright as it says it is.The button operating system works properly unlike other torches I’ve had of this type.Everything feels well made on this torch, you will see what I mean if you get one as soon as you hold it.The 90 degree swivel joint is really smooth.The charge cable is very good quality and fits perfectly with the rechargeable battery.I got this for work (government security) and am definitely not disappointed.I Will be buying another for my brother.

1st one didnt work, got another - good torch, nice and bright, compact, love the magnetic bit

I see a lot of reviews saying it stops working after a few months so will have to see. I do notice it makes a high pitched whining sound (only noticeable in a quiet environment or when close to your ear) coming from the torch head when on low and medium brightness but goes quiet on full beam so that seems strange?Better news is that the supplied Lithium battery is 900mah and not 750 as described here and in the instruction leaflet, so the run times should be longer than listed.I find the 100 lumens low beam plenty bright for most uses so that should mean more than the 7 hours run time listed for the 750mah version more likely 8-9 hours.With an AA battery the high mode is only 100 lumens and listed at 4hrs so the lithium battery is much better but an AA is fine if needed. or if you want lower light mode lumen levels.The beam looks much better using the Lithium battery also with not so much green corona surrounding the centre hot spot and it a nice neutral colour temp.Think that's my main points other than I like holding it with the head at 90 degrees and good magnet, lockout etc It's fun setting it on high mode and then switching it off and on again as you do get a surprise at the good brightness it puts out and it does not got hot quickly either so it copes well with the higher lithium battery power.Must remember not submergible waterproof so not to drop it into water but rain or a splash should be fine.Handy to have in or on a backpack or jacket pocket. Just hope it lasts a decent time as in longer than a few months but I have a Lumintop Tool AA 2.0 arriving tomorrow so will have a spare and be interesting to see how that compares as very similar spec but yes at present liking this Nicron B74 quite well.Edit added: Got the Lumintop and it heats up very quickly using the lithium battery on high setting and it's a much cooler light. I prefer the Nicron warmer light. The Lumintop is a little smaller but I prefer the Nicron for my larger male hands and I prefer the Nicron side button (which clicks very nicely) over the Lumintop tail switch. Would have liked a quick double click to switch on the Nicron rather than holding the button but it does switch on fairly fast. The Lumintop does work well with an AA battery but with lower power so I will probably use it like that. Anyhow I have now ordered another of these Nicron to have a spare B74 as this is my favourite though I also bought a Sofirn IF25A and that is a great torch for some much greater brightness and can highly recommend that one also though it's twice the price for the Nicron but you definitely get twice the brightness. I like all 3 of these torches.

I needed to replace one of my existing torches and was advised on the Nicron swivel torch. I was sceptical at first, considering its size, albeit, was pleasantly surprised as to how well it performed. Its ideal, as this can be left in the car for emergencies, or at home.Its a precision well made torch and has the benefit of a rechargeable battery. On the whole, I'm really pleased with this product, well worth the money.
