Now this torch uses Light emitting diodes (LED) instead of the more usual Bulbs. So the burning question is what the LED can do for me. Let us shed a little light on the subject.

They also draw a small amount of current, usually below 40 milliamps. This means that the battery in a LED torch will last a lot longer than in a xenon or halogen torch.
