Re: testing a torch
This is the oldest torch/light I have. Over 25 years old at least. The rechargeable battery is no good now but I could get another for about £10 from Ebay.
It's possible to fill it up with dry batteries too ..plus plug it into the car socket. It used to do all sorts of wonderful things depending on how the switches were set. Kept for its sentimental value. One of the children gave it to me as a present.
