A friend availed himself a couple of years back of one of those LED torch special offers in certain large foreign shops. It was well built apparently of metal and came with two alkaline batteries that seemed to be lasting for ever. Till about a week ago, when the torch had switch issues where it would go to dim mode or sos mode for no reason when switched on. Opening up the torch revealed a completely corroded heap of left over batteries that were completely stuck in the torch. Really it was a write off. so beware, check batteries every month or so, and do not assume that as its still lighting it has to be fine. He now needs a new torch. Brian
