Then why are you buying a torch that looks like a WW2 search light? (and about as bright as a WW2 era torch).
Sorry, I am actually trying to be helpful, maybe just a bit too cheeky with it. Sorry, I'll tone in down, no offence was intended :)
What I am saying is, that 90 lumins is VERY low. You know those old Maglights, the ones the size of a large marker pen? They are about 90 lumins. But that torch is GIGANTIC. In fact I have never seen such a massive torch, but with such low power. I think Lenser make a key ring one that's around 90 lumins, admittedly it was a large keyring.
The reason it's just 90 lumins is simply because a solar charger of that low quality (it has to e for that money) would not produce enough charge for anything higher.
For £25 you could buy a good quality torch, with the same power or much more, and use recharagble batteries. Most torches these days run on AAA or AA and LED's use so little power they will run for a very long time before needing replacing. A handful of rechargeable AA's would last a couple of weeks of regular use in a quality torch.
Or you could go and buy a cheap wind-up torch, or a rechargeable that charges off the main or car only.
Sorry, I know a lot about torches, I use them all the time in my job :)
Only trying to help, and you posted on a public forum so I assumed you were inviting comment :)
