I need to order a new one next week, used for general jobs in the garage. Budget is around £25.

Anyone recomend a decent light?

Thanks

I got given one recently which is awesome and I'm sure it is less than £25, can't for the life of me remember the make though! I'll post again tomorrow when I can have a look

In my experience, after having bought all sorts of lights for cycling, the Gamma by Alpkit is a great bit of kit for very little money. Always gets well reviewed which is why I bought mine.

The newer Manta is even brighter, if heavier by the looks of it.

I've got one I use at work, it's a lenser h3 if I remember correctly. Was slightly over your budget, I paid £40 from maplin but that included a p3 torch too.

used a petzl tikka(i think) at work recently and it seems a good bit of kit, about £25 i believe.

Thanks for the replies, although i've ignored it! I've ordered a Princeton Tec Fuel via ebay for under £17. I'll give a quick report once it arrives.

Cheers.
