I bought 2 torches from aldi over Christmas a small 5w cree and a 10w cree both damn good for 9.99 and 19.99. The 10w is bright and lasts quite a while on 3 c bats. And its a bit brighter than a P7.2 and seemes wider as-well. Sadly sold out now
just got one like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2200LM-Ul...326?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4628b0fc76
using poundland batteries (had laying around) pretty decent brightness

2200 LUMEN FOR A FIVER :clap 
2200 LUMEN FOR A FIVER :clap
more like 400 lumens,maybe a bit less maybe ,just maybe a tad more
Well it's .2 higher, for when you need that extra push.
The 7.2 has little holes around the outer part of the lens that light up red and bleed into your long exposure light painting shots if not careful
Supposed to have gone from 200 to 300 Lumens ? definately a visible difference between the 2. Subtle body changes but basically the same.
My 7.2 failed on it"s first outing with the "O" ring under the zoom head jammed (obviously short of grease)replacement fine so far.
I"d still suggest one of these and a P7.2 & P7 for back up

been looking for something cheap, bright and small enough to keep in my camera bag permanently. Ended up grabbing one of these:
https://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/...led-480-lumen-flashlight?da=1&TC=RV-010812480
480 lumens for 24 quid! It's tiny, aluminium, takes 3 AAAs, has a zoom, and retina-troublingly bright on the full power setting. Was worried it'd basically be one of those £8 eBay CREE cheapies with branding....but it's ace. Zoom creeps a little bit but it's nice to operate with your thumb. Very solidly built, don't reckon it'd survive water for long though.
If anyone wants to lend me a P7 to compare it to, be my guest

The Nightsearcher larger models are well specced and bloody expensive. so if it"s anything like those models it should be fine
