NEBO Big Larry 3

Despite looking like a Light Sabre from Star Wars, NEBO's Big Larry 3 is in fact a torch, a new and improved version of what is quite possibly the most popular torch Nebo has created, or so I’m told.

With an output of 600 lumens from the C.O.B light on the side and 220 lumens from the flashlight, for its size and price, it certainly shines (sorry). In fact, if you consider it too bright for the situation, simply keep your finger on the rubber button and it will dim.  Once it has reached its dimmest it’ll flash to let you know, it’s the  same when you reach its brightest.

The C.O.B. light also has the option of glowing red, which can be a steady glow or flashing, perfect for distress signalling or roadside emergencies.

For hands-free work you can use the magnetic base or the pocket clip - the latter is really handy if I’m walking Lilly or changing a tyre.

As the temperature drops the rubber handle is a nice feature, though it could be a bit longer for a full grip, but it holds well, especially when wet. If you do drop it, it’s also water and impact-resistant (IPX4).

The flashlight is good for 82 meters and 8 hours and the C.O.B light 33 meters and 2.5 hours.  Switch to the red C.O.B light and that’s good for 7 meters and 20 hours whilst the red strobe will keep on going for 40 hours.

Big Larry 3 measures H 198mm x W 24mm x D 31mm and weighs approx 204g and included in the box are three AA batteries.

price: £19.99
