Beam Torch – show a group exactly which one you mean

A slim aluminum torch built around a long-throw beam, a twist focus and a lock in the body that works with a key. At 2.2 by 16.7 cm it sits between a fat pen and a short flashlight. The cell charges over USB and the cable comes with it.

Why choose this beam torch?

A pointed finger tells nobody anything at distance. A visible beam puts a whole group on the same star, the same roof ridge or the same line of a slide, immediately. The key lock means the beam only exists when you have decided it should.

• Key lock: without the key in the body, nothing happens when the switch is pressed.
• Long-throw beam: stays readable across open ground after dark.
• Twist focus: open the beam out for a room or tighten it down for distance.
• Alloy body: aerospace-grade aluminum that survives a pocket full of keys.
• USB charging: cable in the box and no loose cells to keep buying.

Pocket-sized, and clear enough to end a disagreement about which star.

Charge it fully over USB before the first night out and keep the key somewhere other than with the torch. Never aim the beam at people, animals, vehicles or aircraft, and keep it away from children. Turn the head slowly when focusing rather than sweeping past the sharp point.
