I’m a total tech junkie generally, but torches might just be my favourite. So it’s no surprise that I’ve already bought myself a new torch (OK, three new torches) during this year’s Prime Day sale, so knowing that there are many other torch addicts out there, I figured I’d share what I’ve bought, alongside some other notable deals on good models.
These are all torches that I either personally own, or have ordered and am impatiently waiting for the delivery to arrive. They range from tiny pocket rockets to headlamps and powerful spotlights, and all come with a rechargeable battery.
These aren’t all for me either – two of my latest purchases are gifts for friends and family. Keep in mind they are often discounted below the list price on Amazon, but I’m always looking for bargains and these are all great deals.
Now these aren’t your dad’s old Dolphin torch – they’re modern models employing extremely powerful LEDs, high-output lithium-ion cells, advanced voltage regulation and USB-C charging. You also get things like programmable interfaces, stepless brightness ramping and in some cases, even the ability to charge other devices from the torch.
I own a bunch of different torch brands, but Sofirn is my favourite, as they’re affordable but also excellent quality. I’ve been buying from the company since they launched in 2016, and it’s been impressive to see how closely they collaborate with torch enthusiasts to develop lights that are powerful, well-built and still budget-friendly.
All the deals below are Amazon Prime exclusive offers, so you will need to sign up to get the discount. You can get one month free to try it out, but just remember to cancel if you don’t want to continue.
Safety first
You’ll be impressed with how bright these torches are – just remember: don’t point them in your (or anyone else’s) eyes, and be aware they are definitely not something kids should be messing with. The maximum lumen rating only lasts a short time before the torch dims itself to keep from overheating. That’s totally normal, and turbo mode is made for quick bursts when you need to briefly light up a big area.
