I’ve often said that you can never have enough torches. They are just the coolest gadget to have and there are so many possibilities – the brightest, the smallest, the green powered, the multi-function, the military-style . . . I’m arousing myself just writing about them. Kids always love torches too as they’re great for camping, exploration games, and self-blinding.

So what would I recommend as a great Dadget torch? My current pick of the crop is the LED Lenser P7 which is one of the brightest pocket torches available and feels like a stick of pure sex when you hold it in your hand. It has a great retractable lens system that gives either a broad beam of medium brightness or a very narrow beam of high brightness. A switch button on the base flicks between different power modes, the highest of which will really impress you on a dark night in a field full of cows.

At just under £50 this is a luxury torch, no question, but you can’t put a price on such high quality and the dazzled expression on a sleeping cow.
