TaoTronics 500 in waterThe TaoTronics TT-TF02 500 Lumens LED Torch is a compact little torch with a big light output.  Upon freeing it from it’s packaging the first impression is that the style and design are both really nice.

The TT-TF02 has a solid feel to it and comes with a case to either store it in or to attach to your belt. The bag is good quality, but for some reason has been designed so the top doesn’t fasten closed, and as you can see in the video at the bottom of the page this meant it easily becomes creased.

The unit is controlled by a single button on the end of the unit. Half a press in to change light mode, full press in to turn the torch on. In terms of different modes you can adjust the brightness and change it to either a slow pulsing action or a quick strobing action. I’m not really sure what you’d want with a strobe function on a torch, but this has it if you need it!

The torch doesn’t take the standard AA or AAA batteries, instead you need to use either 18650 Battery CR123A batteries, which are easy enough to buy but this does mean you’re unlikely to have spares lying about.

Light output is excellent for such a small unit, it’s rated at 500 lumens (the brightness level). In real world use that means it can easily light up your surroundings and was a huge improvement over the 10 year old torch I currently have (which is much larger and takes the larger C batteries).

It look and feel like a tough torch and with it’s compact size this is a brilliant for use in any situation, keep it in your car, take it camping, use it for DIY, thing is designed for all those situations are more.
