The Gift is cool and versatile and I'll show it to my mate who manages a game lodge. At that price you can't go wrong and the AAA batteries are easy to get. It’s a nice product to buy in larger numbers and have “white labelled” by corporate companies. Dr Alan Carlston, Cresta, Jhb

I bought 20 of these little units and handed them out to colleagues and family. The price-performance ratio on the G700 is unbeatable, and I've only received good feedback from the people I gave them to. Their comments range from jokes about Eskom to appreciation that this light can run on AAA batteries, and not the more exotic 18650 lithium ion cells. It's great to use at a campsite or stand upright in the corner of a room during loadshedding, so if you are thinking of Christmas gifts look at the G700. And do it soon – they won't last long in the store. This torch punches above its weight... Chris Trauernicht, Cape Town

Mark i have received the G700 flashlights - they were in bubblewrap so no scratch marks or anything on them. I have put in AAA batteries and the torch work perfectly... I'm impressed by the brightness of this torch considering the price! I'm very satisfied - thank you very much. Charlton Manus, Worcester

The G700s are also very nice. I'm placing them all over the house and will still have one or two left as spares. The wide beam of the G700 is great. I'm still trying to get used to the square hotspot when zoomed for distance, but I find that a slight tweak and the hotspot is not so square anymore. So all round, great value. Jose Murta, Kempton Park

I had my business name printed onto these torches and have used them as gifts for our clients. The response has been amazing. Some of their comments include ‘Very generous to give such an amazing torch as a gift’; ‘Gobsmacked at the power’; and ‘The children are not playing with this one’. An incredible torch. At that price it is the best value in the world. Brilliant! Thank you. Paul Bishop, Kloof

I should have ordered more of the G700s! At that price I don't think it's possible to find a better torch – quality is great, output and modes are very usable and that it can run on AAAs makes it a great car/toolbox/wherever torch. Will have to order more in the future! Shane Viljoen, Sandton

Thanks again for the G700 Gifts – it's a great torch and great value for money. An 18650 battery fits quite loosely in the supplied sleeve and you can hear it moving if you shake the torch, although it doesn't interfere with the operation – I imagine a 26650 would be a better fit if you were going the lithium-ion route? The AAA cartridge fits well, although I haven't had the torches long enough to gauge how long the batteries last. It takes quite a light press to switch between modes, but once you figure it out it's fine. Andrew Descroiziles, Kokstad

I have tried the G700 Gift torch and like it very much – it's very simple and easy to use with a great light output. Gary Ray, Cheetah Plains Lodge, Hoedspruit

Thanks a million for the G700 Gift torches. I took one out and put in batteries - it's good quality and amazingly bright for its size! One wonders how they can make it for the price. Thanks again for great service! Ron Nicolle, Polokwane

I was eager to see the performance of my G700 (I bought ten). Firstly I was impressed with the touch and feel of the torch and zoom mechanism, which feel expensive, and the AAA batteries were easy to load. I was looking for a disposable battery torch, for portability and versatility – in short I am very happy and impressed! I will probably put a few into active service for myself, while the rest will go to good friends from Father Christmas. Thanks a ton. Ian Shaw, Mount Edgecombe
