The white light beam is more than bright enough, and more importantly the red beam is powerful enough to easily read a star chart in very low light conditions.
As stated the torch comes with a free battery, it takes standard 9 volt batteries. The reason for the inclusion is that there is no quick battery access pannel. You will need to open up the torch to replace the battery. The screws are all very small phillips heads, that are quite deeply sunken into the torch. So you will need a very small yet long screw driver to get it open, a jewelers screwdriver would be recomended for this. I would not recomend trying to change batteries in the field.
Over all this is a good torch that should have a 5 star rating, but the difficulty of replacing the battery is the one flaw that lets down this product. If you can cope with the battery problem then it seems like a good buy.

Having paid £17 for a torch I was expecting something that feels well made and robust. What I received is the total opposite. This product feels cheap like something you would buy in a pound shop.
You can actually feel the internals of the torch moving around when you use the switch or brightness wheel. I don't expect that it would survive any kind of drop.
Imagine how well built and solid a 'Maglite' torch feels. This torch is the exact opposite of that.

I am a keen amateur astronomer and I require a good torch. This one fits the bill perfectly. One fault, just a little niggle regarding the battery replacement method. Awkward would sum it up. Nontheless, great performer in the field and bright enough to read the charts.

This is the second Sky-watcher LED torch that I have owned in a year and just like the first it feels cheap, flimsy and rattles when gently shaken. Read more
