by Stevet on Jan.31, 2011, under Patrol Store
Fenix produce a bright array of torches, right from the economical E01 model through to the ultimate torch in the range, the TK40 which gives a massive 630 lumens. Brighter than many car headlights, this model features several strobe functions for use in the many varied situations that you could and often do, find yourself in.
The Fenix range also features many more economical torches which are made to the same high quality standards of the more expensive models. They feature Led lighting which is fast becoming the industry standard, giving greatly improved battery life and brighter light with digitally enhanced units.
Gone are the days when a torch started out suitably bright at the beginning of a night shift and rapidly dimming by the end.
Fenix also produce a range of head mounted lamps including the extremely rugged and waterproof HP20. This lamp has a separate battery compartment that is designed to keep the weight of the batteries away from the head.
All this and the available accessories including filters and traffic cone attachments make Fenix one of the best and most versatile ranges of 21st century portable lighting. Take a look at Patrolstore.com where you will find very competitive prices for these excellent products.
LED Lenser Torches
by Mattm on Nov.17, 2010, under Patrol Store
LED Lenser Torches are fast becoming the most popular torches with UK police officers and police officers world wide. The Led Lenser Police Tech Focus Torch is specifically designed to target the torch needs of police users providing a bright white 105 lumen beam and comes in at a very reasonable price point. The Led Lenser T7 and P7 Torches are slightly more expensive than the Police Tech Torch but boast a much more impressive 200 lumen output. All three Led Lenser Torches run on AAA batteries which are cheap and readily available in an emergency rather than the less common CR123 battery sticks. The Police Tech takes 3 AAA batteries and both the T7 Torch and the P7 run on four AAA batteries.
As the name suggests the LED Lenser torches run on high power Gallium LEDs rather than filament bulbs which affords the torches higher output, longer battery run time and overall longer lifespan of the torch. The bodies are machined from aluminium that is both tough and light weight with a scratch resistant black finish.
One of the major advantages of the Led Lenser range over cheaper alternatives is the focusable beam which can be adjusted between flood and spot by extending and retracting the head. An additional useful feature is the ability to switch between maximum output for when you really need it and a lower energy saving setting for prolonged use.
All Led Lenser torches come with batteries and a Nylon belt pouch (which is compatible with 2” police duty belts) included in the price. The pouch has a Velcro closure and the belt mounting is closed with both Velcro and a pop stud to ensure it stays on your belt even when under extreme circumstances.
All in all the LED Lenser Range of Police Torches provide some of the best value for money on the market and the popularity with the police and emergency services is no surprise.

The Maglite Solitare Torch is an excellent gift (or self indulgent gadget). Made with the same Maglite quality you would expect from any Maglite torch this nifty torch retails for just £8.95 and will go with you everywhere you take your keys. Providing 3.5 to 5 hours of run time from one triple AAA battery you will never be stuck fumbling in the dark again.
As you would expect, the body of this torch like any Maglite is made from rugged anodised aluminium making the Maglite solitaire a tough and durable piece of equipment and the O ring seal provides water and shock resistance. The beam can also be adjusted to flood or spot depending on your needs. Complete with spare bulb in the tail cap the Maglite Solitaire makes for a great micro torch, you will forget you even have it until you can’t believe you ever did without it!
