Recommendations For A NightMaster NM1 Torch - Cheaper Type Clone Please For Farmer

[lincolnjefferies]

A Farmer I work with has broken his LED Torch for lambing that takes 18650 batteries. Its a Nightmaster copy style torch, but seems to be no longer available. Whats a good budget replacement to recommend to him . It needs to be mega bright with adjustable beam, but a dimmer isn't necessary. Many Thanks

Probably any of the generic T20 torches are pretty decent.

I started with a Nightmaster 800, sold it and got a T67 for about ¼of the cost of the NM and it was much better if a little big. I've now got two T20 style torches I've had for ages and they are as good as the NM.

eBay sell lots of cheap torches

Opticfire I was thinking of, as they had a good reputation, but they don't seem to be in stock. Are the Uniquefire range any good ?

Illuminator or torch? I'm sure I have a genuine NM illuminator in my box of spare stuff...
Edit- read the original post correctly now.

The torches are fine but I'd buy better batteries as they'll last longer and less chance of going wrong. Decent 18650 batteries are pretty cheap now from places like Fogstar, especially since the vaping crowd started using them.

Had an Opticfire T67 of fleabay about 10 years now taken many rabbits with my .22 .
As nun hunter says batteries are key.
