Well, this had me going for a while

[kerching]

just bought myself a new 18V DeWalt multitool on Wednesday. Works a treat, far superior to the crappy little 12v toy I had. Anyway today the blade looked a bit weird, not seated right, wobbly...summit not right. 

Didn't do it all the time, only when working up on the mezzanine where I am fitting the lighting trunking, and it is a bit dark, so Anyway On my little project I am having to use a head torch most of the time...LED Lenser b brilliant ( literally ) bit of kit

yep...it's the strobe effect from the head torch!

ive seen it with flus over lathes and milling machines, never thought I would see it on my head torch!

hey ho, everyday and all that

seen it with many LED's. bit weird first few times you see it

Now thats got me  because I thought LEDs were  DC  current  so no strobing .         I just imagined that was so  ....obviously  Kerch & Andy have seen it first hand .

Does it have variable brightness?  It probably uses variable pulse width to control it.  A basic led chip is a constant emitter but can be switched on and off very fast.

Yep...dimmable and rechargeable

best LED head torch I have ever had. I bought it as my mate bought me the standard hand held item which is fantastic, but only takes AAA batteries. When funds permit I will look at getting the rechargeable version

some are worse than others.

try drilling a hole above you and watch the dust fall down - looks weird depending on how fast its flashing

I got one of these

Really good and has a sensor so to switch on/off you just wave your hand in front of it.

£? And how long does the battery charge last?
