Our local dealer told us that you can't get screw in bulbs for torches any more now unless they are old stock!

Get a greenforce, their cheaper, if a little bigger..

if your after a new torch, is this a big enough selection. I love mu Nuwai and Wolfeyes.

Surefire make some very expensive torches. Most of their range is <£300, but they have a few that are £1000+. Thats because these items have been tested in conditions where no other torch will go, mainly military ops.

A few years ago I was in the US and there was a long article in a mag about how they develop some of these torches and it was amazing.

That said, I think £4k is probably way over priced, its quite an old torch now. I think they were about that price when they came out 3 - 4 years ago.

There are lots of other 35w HIDs out there for a lot lot less money... not SF though...
