Going camping? You’re going to need a torch! Away from mains electricity, doing anything after dark is a nightmare without torchlight to ease your way.
And don’t forget, unless you’re on your own, one torch just isn’t enough!
The invention of the dry cell and miniature incandescent electric lamps made the first battery-powered flashlights possible around 1899. Today, flashlights use mostly incandescent lamps or light-emitting diodes and run on disposable or rechargeable batteries. Some are powered by the user turning a crank or shaking the lamp, and some have solar panels to recharge a battery.
In addition to the general-purpose hand-held flashlight, many forms have been adapted for special uses. Head or helmet-mounted flashlights designed for miners and campers leave the hands free. Some flashlights can be used underwater or in flammable atmospheres. Flashlights are used as a light source when in a place with no power or during power outages.
From hand-helds and head-torches to lanterns, super-bright LED’s and even mobile phones, the choice of torches and the devices they are incorporated into seems endless and the price range almost boundless! But that’s the beauty of it. Whatever your requirement, there’s a torch out there for you! The knack is to pick the one that does what you need!
Glow-sticks are another solution to the lighting issue. Relatively cheap and increasingly available in sizes that make them useful for much more than waving around at festivals or on the end of a fishing rod, these one-use illuminations are a great favourite with kids and are really handy for all the rest of us, especially when deployed as tent night lights.
