The Meco banggood torch offer is back on. At £1.60 delivered you can't go wrong as they are fairly powerful when only using a single Alkaline AA cell. Quoted as 6oo lumens which is overrated but it shines nicely down our 50m garden. A zoomable lens is also a welcomed bonus. Bought these before and still going strong.
Search for AA Torch, Flashlight, Cree Torch etc. Hope this helps.

I don't doubt these are okay torches, but 7W for an AA battery is a bit high, regular alkaline AAs will not be happy putting out nearly 5A, they only reach their rated capacity at ~0.1A.

For £1;60 a fair price, but they are not 600lumen....

Defo not 600 lumen, this is probably around 20 lumen
Not sure why Chinese vendors like Banggood, Gearbest, Aliexpress etc still allow them to sell these overrated capacities.
Not sure if this is also sold on eBay using the same description? eBay should be more strict and might rule in your favour if you open a dispute

These run also on the 3v lithium cells for the higher outputs. Still nowhere near the BG ratings. I use plain old AA's which work fine at close range using the zoomable lens. Probably only 150-200 lumens using the AA's
