Years back, bought a RC-T6 torch for a hefty sum (when DX were the shit), after charging the batteries for it, it didn't work. Stupid me didn't get around to arranging a DOA claim or anything, and I recently re-found the torch.
Now, I believe the batteries are fine (since the charger shows green when they're charged up), but I can't be sure. Don't have access to a voltmeter to check them, so I'm thinking a decent torch that uses those batteries might fit the bill :) That way I can test the batteries, and I have a use for the batteries if it's proven that they're fine.

So, without going to candlepower (which I should probably have a browse), does anyone have a recommendation? :)

      $34 though?! Not quite within budget

        Yea but for a 16340 torches you are limited in numbers. Solarstorm SC03 maybe that will be cheap but still be over budget. You may want to look at the Klarus Mi7 there is a coupon code for 22 USD but that uses a standard AA or 14500 and also the Jetbeam Jet I MK is about 18 Aussie dollars. That is also a AA and 14500 torch.
        14500 torchesare not to main stream.

        Even when i bought my Xtar WK21 it cost me about $40. I will see what i can find on sale.

        This is the Solarstorm i use to have one but i broke it. They get really really hot. They are good build quality. But no lock out.

        Your broken torch can you post pics of the driver its probably an easy fix?
