I have an ancient car with an old fashioned, manual, key in the hole locking system - which is all well and good in the daytime - but attempted access at night has resulted in scratches all around the lock as i jab at it blindly in the dark, time for a torch. Now, I could have settled for a £2.99 jobby off eBay that would cast a faint glow for a few months before falling apart, but if you are going to do something you might as well do it right.

Whether you are taking the dog for a walk in the evening, attempting to find your car at night or stumbling through the campsite after dark, everything becomes easier if you have a torch to hand, but it isn’t always convenient to carry one around.
