One of the chaps over the weekend had a Wiseled Tactical handheld torch.
http://www.excellentstuff.co.uk/product.asp?strParents=&CAT_ID=&P_ID=20

It's the first LED torch I've seen that impressed me in all respects. It's the first time I've seen a big slate chamber illuminated by LED!

Just need a helmet mounting version now.....

Chris.

I'm sure it will come, that's what I'm dangling down the shaft in the other thread Shocked

It IS a superb bit of kit and worth the investment. No doubt in the future it will be surpassed both in power and expense (less).

Glad you like it Thumbs Up one go with Heb's WiseLED Tactical 1500 convinced us to sell them! Not out of maximum lumens out at any expense, or max lumens for minimum bucks (yes, I'm sure one day there will be cheaper and brigher lights) but because it looked like a light that would hold it's own in terms of output for some time but more importantly it's seriously tough.

Also worth pointing out it's made in Europe to excessively high standards, to the extent that WiseLED back them with a 3 year trade in guarantee if any problems ever arise [link]. The battery is reckoned to be rated for 10 years.

I'd be happy to call one my own Wink If I could afford one! How does that look, I can't afford my own products Laugh although seriously, compared to the £200 to £250 I spent on the gas discharge Light Canon 100 about 18 months ago the WiseLED represents much better value.

I've had my Tactical for over a year now, and even with the rapid development of LED lights, nothing 'off the shelf' comes close to it with regards to design, performance & build quality.
If you're looking for a high performance light, try to forget the credit crunch, take out a mortgage and buy one - you won't be disappointed.

I agree with eveything Heb has said and his original recommendation convinced me to buy one. One tip is that I feel that the plastic lens could get scratched on very rough trips but the cap from a large aerosol can (like spray foam)makes a good cover. IP: 87.82.19.27
