New Ring Cyba-lite LED Torches and Headtorches
We've just started getting LED torches and LED headtorches from Ring Cyba-lite. You'll have seen them appearing all over the place in outdoors shops, hardwear stores etc. We're stocking three of their torches. The Ring Cyba-lite Sport is a lightweight 5-LED headtorch with multiple power settings including a flashing mode for attracting attention and comes in at a very reasonable GBP17. The Ring Cyba-lite Firefly is a little curvy keyring torch with an aluminium casing and feels really good in your hand - GBP9.
The last of the three is the Ring Cyba-lite Xtreme which is an awesome LED Headtorch at GBP34. To start with is contains a single LED buld that runs at 1W when on full power. The different power settings allow it to run at 50% and 25% (don't ask me how they get a diode to do that though) so you can save battery easily. It's got some kind of circuitry built in which keeps the battery voltage right up at optimum level until the point where it runs out, rather than just getting duller and duller over time. Because of this you never know when the light will just cut out so they've added a small battery meter to keep you informed. Right now this is my headtorch of choice and with the nights drawing in, it's always handy.
