I can't find one. I am googling running torch, looking in running shops online etc, with no luck whatsoever. I need one for dh. Can anyone help?

A torch that straps to the body to provide illumination so you don't trip over stuff, or fall down holes while running in dark areas.

this or maybe not bright enough

OverMyDeadBody · 02/11/2007 19:52

Petzl do them. Try googling head torch, there are some with retractable cords instead of a strap so they can be worn on arms etc.

here's one

southeastastra · 02/11/2007 19:54

OverMyDeadBody · 02/11/2007 19:54

(god how sad do I sound.....)

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 02/11/2007 19:54

You might be better searching walking/climbing type gear. Will have a look.....

OverMyDeadBody · 02/11/2007 19:55

I wouldn't want that with me when I'm running!!!

StrawberryMartini · 02/11/2007 19:56

I'm thinking this may not be practical.

OverMyDeadBody · 02/11/2007 19:58

OMG what is the link between running in the dark and blow jobs?

JackieNo · 02/11/2007 20:03

Some recommendations here.

saggarmakersbottomknocker · 02/11/2007 20:05

Ooo I'm like the one on OverMyDeadBody's link.

southeastastra · 02/11/2007 20:05

lol it comes with a free hairnet

JackieNo · 02/11/2007 20:05

Is it just me, or would this make you feel like a Dalek?

StrawberryMartini · 02/11/2007 20:06

The blow job kit? Useful.. my hair always gets in the way during one.

JackieNo · 02/11/2007 20:07

Lots here.

JackieNo · 02/11/2007 20:08

Also on Amazon.

Hekate · 02/11/2007 20:22

Can I ask a stupid question?

LED.

Is it a case of the higher the number, the better the torch? So a 1 LED is not as good as a 6 LED and the 40-odd LED is fantastic??

What is a LED anyway?

Aren't you worried.. running in the dark? You might get.... pillaged.. or something! (I am not sure what "being pillaged" involves but it sounds risky!)

OverMyDeadBody · 02/11/2007 20:31

here: A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor diode that emits incoherent narrow-spectrum light when electrically biased in the forward direction of the p-n junction. This effect is a form of electroluminescence.

Got it?

OverMyDeadBody · 02/11/2007 20:32

LED light is white and bright, as opposed to the yellow glow you get from conventional torch bulbs. They tend to need more powerful batteries (the circular ones usually).

OverMyDeadBody · 02/11/2007 20:36

pillage: 1. to strip ruthlessly of money or goods by open violence, as in war;

  1. to take as booty.
?verb (used without object)
  1. to rob with open violence; take booty.

Doesn't sound good does it?

Hekate · 02/11/2007 20:38

It's for dh, not for me.

He wears such tight running stuff, they'd see at a glance he was carrying nothing 'pillage-er--able'

My apologies for the mental picture. I will pay for your therapy.
