Laser 6185

Best price: £44

This pushes our winner hard. Both are really bright, and we had to scrutinise their beam patterns repeatedly before giving the Ring the nod. Light aside, the Laser isn’t quite such a great all-rounder. A single rotating hook, albeit with a fierce magnet, ensures it can be easily positioned. And, unlike most here, there isn’t a torch on the end or a reduced output mode. So there’s no way to extend the three-hour run time by dropping down a level. But the option of mains, 12V or USB charging is a bonus, and we like the included charging dock.
