There was once a time when torch meant a massive, flaming plank of wood and by flaming, we don't mean to swear. Thank the stars, torches have moved on. Imagine trying to find your way back to your tent at a festival, simultaneously burning the whole campsite to the ground in your wake.

Jump forward a couple of years - stay with us - and torches were chunky battery powered affairs that took those D cell batteries that you can use as ballast for a hot air balloon. They did make useful weapons in a fist fight, mind, but that's another story.

Flash forward a few years and it's the present day. Torches, thanks to battery technology, LEDs and shrinking trouser pockets, have become tiny. And while the pocket torch is a miracle of modern science, we thought we could do better. How about a torch just a little bigger than a pound coin that you can attach unobtrusively to a key ring? The stuff of a madman's dreams? We are those madmen and we have just the thing for those in need of a light in their life but without the trouser space to accommodate it: the Micron Light.

The Micron's size isn't its only talent, though. Factor in a 12-hour continuous use battery life and a beam that can be seen over a mile away and you have the perfect take-anywhere companion.
