I like the build quality and it appears to be quite robust, but the the fact I can change the battery unlike my two olight balder pro r was the deciding factor.
I used AI to look for rechargable batteries for my Quest 3 controller as the ones I had were not lasting at all. It turns out I was using the wrong voltage ones. These batteries in particular were recommended because of their inovative design and features. These are directly charged via USB-C, with the port built into the battery. The pack comes with a charger, which is a single USB-A with four USB-C off of that. These batteries also feature an onboard chip which directs the battery to always supply the full 1.5v and always shows 100% (on my Quest 3) until the battery reaches 10%, at which point it indicates it needs recharging. So far this has worked exactly as described. These will pay for themselves easily within 6 months versus non rechargables, and for the features and the quality of these batteries, I am more than happy to pay the up fron premium. With respect to buying from Torches direct, I did so because even with Amazon Prime, I would not have recieved the batteries for several weeks due to holiday period. The battery price on Torch direct was comparable with Amazon, the only difference was I paid for the delivery, which cam the next working day after I ordered. Very happy with both the product and the service
Small but powerful torch. Long battery life when used in normal torch mode and has that powerful burst of light for as and when you need it. It is well constructed and feels good in your hand. It can get a little warm when used in high output but thats no bad thing in the winter.
An excellent versatile product and well worth the cost.
This was bought to replace an aging, rubber coated version, as the rubber had deteriorated and become sticky and unpleasant.
The metal Torch Directversion is a far superior product. With the options of single beam, strip light or red strip light it is most versatile.
This is a lovely torch well designed and able to chose light types warm to cool very pleased with it handy to keep in pocket
I work in the railway industry, as onboard traincrew.
My company issued lamp, while it serves its purpose and I still carry it in my bag, is very bulky.
While you wouldn’t be using the TX12 to carry out emergency protection, it is ideal to have on your keyring or in its holster to use during dispatch procedure for example.
Great product, would recommend. And the white light is quite bright!
I’ve always used fenix headlamps for years because I do a lot of fishing and need quality gear that won’t let me down I bought this torch for something to use quickly the quality is there same as fenix headlamps when it comes to lighting for outdoors fenix are at the top of the market I paired it with 2 fenix 18650 4000ah batteries because I wouldn’t use any other battery in a fenix light people may think that it’s a lot of money for a torch and batteries the fenix headlamp I use cost over £200 and are used by search and rescue fenix supply the military and emergency services with there gear thats all I can say torch direct where prompt with delivery it’s an absolute beast of a torch pretty much bomb proof worth every penny
Bought for a friend who wanted something light and versatile for walking/camping trips. Great range of settings; very useful hands-free setting (switch on and off by waving hand — discovered this setting by accident!), nice removable head strap and USB charging function. Excellent value and arrived very quickly.
Good website, prompt delivery. The torch is light enough for a key ring, with one triple A battery. Easy to replace, simple to operate. Made by good company Fenix whom make tough stuff. Good buy.
Have used it a couple of times and although worried when I opened the box that’s bulkier than I was expecting it sits well on your forehead, is not at all heavy and works well.
delivery and service was fantastic and the little edc is also fantastic, more than bright enough for an everyday carry.
This lantern doesn’t disappoint, I chose this over the 28 simply as I could change the single 21700 when required. Although the 28 was tempting with 10,000 mah(2x21700h the fact they are built in does cause problems down the line. Although separate, I’ve just had to rebuild 2 battery packs , Fenix rc40 and acebeam 65 at a total cost of £90. Better than £1000 worth or paper weight! Idigress and back to the 27. Love the UI, the option of throw is super useful out on the field when just flood doesn’t cut it. Icing on the cake was the option to change colour temp from cool to warm, everything in between. Naturally a warmer light is far more welcoming and cosy when camping or simply night time atmosphere light.
Company wise I’ve used torch direct many times, fast shipping on very rare occasions their customer service is 2nd to none.
1. Light and compact.
2. Good that you can use both 'battery' [aaa] and 'battery pack'
3. For what it is, it comes at a reasonable price.
4. Many features regarding 'light type', but you'll probably, in the end, choose one.
5. First time that I have used/bought Nitecore and even though I am in no way an expert in 'head torches' it is damn good
I bought this torch as a present for my daughter who is a pilot,
It’s a great touch for doing her pre flight checks and general pilot duties.
Nice and bright and compact enough to fit in her flight bag.
We came across one of these at a holiday cottage we stayed in. It was so good, my husband kept on about it and I bought it for him for Christmas. He enjoyed "playing" with it on Xmas day and its real first job was helping him pack the car early morning on our new year holiday. Full marks!
Something to be enjoyed by the whole family over Christmas.
Cheap as chips as reflected in its construction. Simple clear readout telling you when to change the batteries. You don’t need to know anything about volts to use this.
Looked at many sites before finding Torch direct, not only was it the best price but delivered very quickly, very pleased with the torch and service from torch direct
I like Mini Maglites - they provide a good light source for their size. Robust too. So when when of mine suddenly ceased working I assumed I would need to buy a new one. But Torchdirect were able to provide a couple of replacement bulbs for a very good price. Very pleased.
I needed a headtorch to enable me to take the dog out in the night and allow us both to see a little better. This is a no nonsense little belter of a light. Which means it simple to operate and gives out an enormous amount of light. Very impressed. I would recommend definitely.
This is a very versatile torch with variable brightness flood illumination in both white and red. Its main claim to fame is the very long throw of the LEP light. It is quite pricey to have this function but very useful if you need it.
I ordered this torch and was very pleased with it,the service from this company was excellent the product was well packaged and a prompt delivery thankyou.
Torchdirect have proved themselves by their excellent service and products. The whole procedure from start to finish was highly professional and can be fully recommended
