Sealey LED019

Price: £12.13

There’s something old school about this Sealey torch. Even though it has a 1-Watt LED, it lacks the punch of most rivals here. And that beam – with its bright centre but not much light elsewhere – doesn’t adjust. The 12V plug is built into the aluminium casing, which may not suit all car sockets, and we’d have liked to have seen a charging light. On the plus side, it’s very easy on the pocket and it has great stamina with usable light lasting around six hours, but staying lit much longer.

Light test: 6 hours
