Disposable torch eh ? I've had one for two years and as a meter reader by trade have found it to be a great bit of kit. Been dropped hundreds of times and never failed me. Trust me, this torch is bomb proof.

I sometimes wonder if the people slating gearbest have ever actually bought from them,
I have been using them for a good few years and only had a problem once with a delivery, they sorted it out very quickly considering the time difference and translation problems.
I ordered a phone at the weekend that was going to be shipped on the 19th, its been shipped this morning a week early.
I think some people just moan.

These torches are brilliant, solid aluminium and the Cree bulbs are insanely bright. I've got at least 3 around my house.
I've owned a couple of maglites in my time and I'd say these are near that build quality for a tiny fraction of the price.

unless you're in the market for a "disposable torch" save your money. i know its less than £2, but these things aren't built to last

What an insane lousymouth! Get some selfrespect and dont embarrass yourself. These torches you can throw at brick walls and they will say thank you and keep working.

Thanks OP. Been waiting for a deal like this on such a torch.

i've bought one in the past, wafer thin aluminium shell with no shock absorbency, poor build quality (e.g. rubber seal not fitted correctly so protruded into lens space creating a massive shadow whenever i used it) maybe i got unlucky with my order but mine lasted about a week before it stopped working altogether.

can you actually pay in GBP, just checked out and it charged me $1.89. My card doesn't change any conversion fee so it's okay I guess.

12 Jan 17#12
£2.35 now :disappointed: But £1.52 if you put the code in like OP said :smile:

That sounds the exact opposite to the three I bought last year from China which still perform perfectly.
The build quality was exceptional and very strong, I was flabbergasted how they could possibly make them and post it to the UK for less than £2. Personally I would have been happy if I bought it here for £10

Good for the money but:.
This will be noway near the lumens it says. The Led only outputs 300ish lumens, so noway you'll get that out the front without a proper reflector. They're still pretty bright when using a 14500 battery though.
The build leaves a lot to be desired but it's £2.

If you are falling over them in the house maybe you should be visiting Specsavers instead of buying another

I both agree and disagree.
I have 4-5 of these and they are ace, BUT only if you get genuine ones. I even ordered 3 from the same seller before and one was clearly fake with bad connectors on the button.

I have 6 of these because I end up giving them away because people are so impressed by them and so cheap. Never let me down yet.

Code keeps putting the price UP to £2.59. Gearbest must not like me.

Still waiting on the earphones they supposedly posted on 22nd Nov last year. If they don't, PayPal will refund hopefully.
My very first purchase from them - don't think I'll bother again. All my items from Aliexpress sellers have turned up, so no problem on my end postal-wise.

Have you chased them up to ask what's going on? Maybe it's been lost in the post and so they should refund you.
Crossbow
12 Jan 17#41
Thanks Gordon, yes I have. Will need to wait until 23rd Jan before they will do anything - that's when their delivery deadline expires apparently.
