Thank You for your time. I know what a flashlight is, or at least i thought i did. But what is a torch, what are the diff. between the two?

A torch is just another name for a flashlight. I believe I have seen in movies from the UK where they call a flash light a torch. This flashlight and many others which are identical under differing company names. All come from China, maybe Hong Kong, which use to be under British Empire control, hence maybe the name. These lights are very inexpensive, however work well, I have atleast a dozen of them all using CREE LED technology. Becareful, they use a rechargable battery technology somewhat new to the US. Again batteries and chargers inexpensive, they last long and work well.

I believe torch is a British term used for flashlight. This is an excellent flashlight and I highly recommend it.

Same thing. The word "torch" is used in English-speaking countries outside the U.S. it's a flashlight, plain & simple.

There is no difference. That is what flashlights are called in the UK/Europe.

Torch is not a technical term. It is a descriptive term to mean it is a very bright flashlight. My old D cell Maglite is like a candle compared to this.

Probably a toss-up. The Dremel comes with more tips. The other features seem pretty much the same. I am sure that Dremel has these made for them (nothing wrong with this) whereas Blazer make these torches. You will probably be happy with either. I do like the Blazer though.....

Big mike did a great job at explaining. Olights are fantastic lights. If you don't find what you want or need on Amazon. Talk with Dave at alphaexpeditions .com

"torch" is a British term for a flashlight. The device includes an amber LED to illuminate the object you are sticking the thermal probe into.

Be careful what you buy on line !A lot of these flashlight holders have no bottoms and you will lose your torch. I highly suggest going to a tactical store or anywhere they sell lights and try them on for size. You paid a lot for your light just go the extra mile.

The relationship between the base and the bulb in height is just a little different, and it would not fit in the torchiere I was trying to relamp. Otherwise it is quite similar. I hope this helps.

Colton, I know it is confusing. Geeez, I wanted a flashlight not a computer program. Actually, Jeff Hunt gave you the correct answer. I sent mine back and got a led light that does one thing...cast bright light!

The CR123's are brighter but you will spend a fair amount of money vs the rechargeable 18650's. One more tip, the 18650's will fit perfectly in one of those survival match tube's. Great for carrying a spare battery. This will be your favorite flashlight.

I vote that you get new batteries. It is a great torch/UK (flashlight/USA). Hang it on your coat zipper or backpack.

The charger is current limited. It will just take longer to charge the higher capacity. Most flashlights now use a LED controller ic to drive the LED. The flashlights just run longer with the higher capacity.

I have both flashlights and both are really good lights. I actually use the mag light though while working. The other is in my car as a back up.

Sorry I don't know. Because rechargeable batteries slowly lose power even when not used, and my flashlight gets used mostly for widely spaced emergencies I use standard batteries.

Sir, the torch is electronic. The led IF BAD can be replaced but it is probably not the led as they last for many years. Mine have been out in the Florida sun for years and still work well. I replaced the cheap original batteries with a good quality 1500 mah ray-o-vac rechargables and they run brightly all night for all this time now. It would probably be cheaper to buy a new set than to have it repaired. Check your warranty as Amazon has an EXCELLENT return policy.

They are just a single torch. I'd check to make sure the ones at Home Depot are exactly the same. These are high quality and we've been happy with them!

Sorry, I dont know the answer to that question. I really like the flashlight. It has all the power and brightness I could want.

Hi. Has not happened on either count to me yet, but I only use the torch for emergency so not really a good example

The flashlight has two (2) modes: standard and high. When I depress the end cap button what appears to be a standard LED flashlight beam appears. After depressing the end cap button a second time an LED light that seems almost 3 times brighter illuminates the area. A friend compared his larger LED Maglite flashlight next to my smaller flashlight and it was obvious mine was brighter.
