In reply to TheDrunkenBakers:
Have you considered something else than a 'mainstream' torch?
Petzl, BD etc are OK, but have a look at the smaller manufacturers models powered with 18650 batteries. ZebraLight H600Mk2 just arrived in my post box and it looks like one of my bet buys so far (judging by first looks, but read a lot before the decision was made and the durability and ease of use are great).
That comes with additional investment in decent charger and good set of 18650 cells, but the result is simply stunning - especially for the size of the small sucker...
Have a look at the
