Jonty Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Hi folks, I'm after a little advice if possible, I need a small, relatively high powered torch for out to 250m and I'd like to know if a T50 torch will fit the bill. I'm a member of a mountain rescue team and due to my location, get quite a few shouts on a Saturday night to sweep up lost walkers on a nearby hill. As I'm using my own personal kit for this I'm looking for something as light and compact as possible without breaking the bank. I'm currently using my crelant lamping torch but it's quite big and I really need something dedicated to my grab bag. I have a green T20 for lamping and am impressed with it but have no experience of the T50s so I'd prefer to hear from any of you who use them before I spend on one. Also, if you know of a decent alternative, I'd be happy to hear too. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I would have thought that a Thermal spotter would be of more use. A small torch is handy so the lost people will know that they have been spotted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 The T50 will suit your needs. I have used one for a few years. Also, take a look at the EVO range of torches (the torch factory) as these can be fitted with interchangeable heads. I have an EVO 67 which is very powerful. The torch is heavier though, so perhaps the T50 would be better for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi dougy, we have all that covered, the thermal spotter is attached to an S92 helicopter I just need a decent small torch for a quick nip out from home to find the odd lost soul.

Jonty Posted June 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Lol didn't realise you had reinforcements Fortunately for my 'customers' I have plenty of reinforcements far more experienced and suitable than me. I'm glad you took the jest in the way it was intended mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
