This is a very good quality product but be aware that it does not fit the lighter socket in a new shape ('05 and later) Mini. Saying that I have had similar problems with other charging devices in the Mini. I now have it in my VW Golf and it works perfectly.
Torch is slightly longer than a lighter and comes with an adapter for wider sockets. Not sure what vehicles though as I think the VW's one is pretty standard. Not the brightest single LED I have seen but adequate for occasional/emergency use and has the most clearly defined beam I have seen from any torch. Made made from what looks like turned steel and is very solid. Another plus point is that the rechargable battery is easily replaceable. Would highly recommend, just not for a Mini.
