Airelec SJ3A016 Maglite Solitaire LED Flashlight - Black

With the LED, this torch is now many times brighter that the original Solitaire and is more than adequate for everyday uses. It takes a single AAA battery, which are cheap and easy to obtain, and it is very small (8cm long), so can be attached to a keyring. Due to it's size, if not attached to a keyring, I would recommend a wrist strap (not provided but can be purchased or made from a length of thin cord), to avoid dropping it. Reasonable price at the £10 I paid, but too expensive at the full price of £20.

This is a well-made very bright tiny torch perfect to have with you at all times in case of unexpected need, or short frequent use like keyholes in darkness. My last one was ruined because a battery leaked in it because I left it unused for a couple of years - my fault! This replacement LED version seems brighter, and the battery to last longer but watch out for changing batteries regularly before they leak.

I've had a Solitaire for years. Yeeeeeaaaaaaaarrrrssssss. It tucks in beside my Leatherman nice and snug.It was always available for having a squint under the stairs or under the sofa.Then a friend presented me with a LED Lenser V8 which blew the Solitaire out of the water.I recently found the Solitaire again and considered converting it to LED as a project. After a bit of research, this looked to be expensive and most internet torch gurus pointed to just buying the new LED Solitaire.Wow. This is a seriously bright torch, not just for it's size but in comparison with many hand-held examples.The LED Lenser is now lying beside my original Solitaire and the LED Solitaire is my new 'chosen one'.The only downside is the battery life - under 2 hours with a 'copper coloured top' in - but AAA are easy enough to find if you need a replacement.***update***Is very difficult to get the light to turn on, there's a tiny 'sweet spot' but a slight shake and the LED goes dark again. I've replaced it with an Olight i3E EOS which is only £10 and tiny.

Great little torch. Keep it on lanyard around neck in winter. Find when it’s dark during course of my work very good for dark rooms or lighting door locks etc. Not the cheapest but a great little all rounder.

Perfect size to keep in your bag for walking home in the dark.

This perfect little torch sits on my keyring every day without wearing a hole in my pocket. And when I need it, it is exceptionally bright for the size and a massive improvement on the old filament bulb version. Very nice, long range beam and lots of clear, well-balanced white LED light.Bought because I work in places where the lights can go out without warning, and I need something reliable within arm's reach. Does the job smartly.

Comes with a battery. Slips in your pocket or small enough to go on a key ring. Accidentally put this through the washing machine. Completely unaffected and works perfectly so waterproof too and durable. Quality torch!

This torch is exceptionally bright for it's size. It looks great in my opinion and after dropping it a few times already onto hard floors it has proven to be robust, coming off with only minor scratches to its body. Fits comfortably in the pocket with the rest of my key ring.
