Halfords LED Dynamo Wind Up Torch

A wide, smooth beam is at the heart of this long-established torch from Halfords.

The three-LED pattern, which also has a power-saving mode, doesn’t have the punch of our top performers, but it’s ideal for close-up work as it’s unmarked by dark lines.

Although stamina is lacking and other torches are easier to crank, a keen price puts it near the front of the tight midfield pack.
