That was in the days when boys love using torches, and seeing its lights than uncovering the unclothedness of every female that comes along.

Things have changed now.
Good old days.

And the plastic ones... Good old days

I used the plastic type through my boarding school. Once you remove the battery and keep in sun, you are good to go for the next night.
And the iron type with big head are for those security men and hunters.
The thing dey catch eyes eh, na why those hunters den dey catch better meat like Antelope and co.
Not now that we use chinco rechargeable torch for country wey no get light.
Hahahaha, far back boarding school torch. You have this, you were a big boy.

We remove the bulb and use to make our own torch with wires, tiger batteries and abro tape. Some make diy switches if they're cool enough with science projects.

The two battery torch was common. Then there's the 3 battery own, and 5 I think.
When the batteries go bad, we break off the round caps, use bic cover to make koloso grin
Good old days.

Good old days. The torch has spring in the cover. The bulb is replaceable too and the light produced is yellowish.

Nah eh! No qualms
This is so sophisticated

Time really flies
I remember this
The only touch light that can fall ten times without spoiling, unlike the plastic ones that can easily spoil by mere looking at it

Although the yellow light is not cool
business strategy. The more it breaks the more you buy
