On a recent camping trip we had a fox visit our
camp one night. Our neighbours kids promptly produced a hand-held spotlight which I was extremely impressed with. Thinking of getting one to include in
our camp kit but don't recall ever having seen them on sale anywhere, so where to get one??? Also, can anyone recommend a particular brand/type?

Melissa, I just had the same experience after a trip to the tracks around Collie. My mate produced his and just about vaporised a possum that was nosing about near our tents. A recharchable that came with both a cig light charger as
well as 240 volt charger for $16 on special at WA salvage. Unfortunately the sale had finished by the time we headed back from our weekend but it's regular price of $26 was still a bargain IMHO. It ran for about 80 minutes continuous after it's first charge. It has a lock on button so I let it completely discharge. I compared it to the ones in
Ranger Camping and it's identical to the ones that they are selling for $55. Same lamp, different package.
Well worth inclusion.

Thanks Hilly, I'll go
check them out. I expect they can't be compared to the Lightforce that others are recommending but I do like the price and sounds like they'll be good enough for occasional use around
camp.

Thanks to everyone who replied. Walked into Supercheap on the weekend and wouldn't you know it, they had a big heap of hand-held, rechargable spotlights piled up on sale. Range included 250,000, 500,000 or 1,000,000 candle power lights with prices ranging from about $25-$35. Anyway, we got the million candle power light and boy is that sucker
bright. Perfect for what we are after and didn't break the bank!
