Even though, it's really durable and portable but the switch didn't last long.

Easyincome24:
It will amaze you that only few people have seen this torch before.

The common problems are the bulb, the face glass, the switch.

Flashlight.....

The hiting , turning and to sun the batteries. many story sha

Beremx:
Seriously? Omo, everybody turn technician for the torch matter.

Thinking about it now I just want to chill with my favorite Okin biscuit and pito. How time flies

It did last only that it had a competitor, the plastic flashlight was less heavier and has different colors one can choose from

Okin biscuit o! Essentially the shortcake biscuits. You remember Temitope biscuits?

Okaayyy! Well, not to sound like a wet blanket, or a fun-spoiler, but I didn't get to experience all these stories most of you are recounting. Let's just say I didn't live that life.
And no, I'm not really an indomie generation person. Maybe just slightly.. is 27 generation indomie? Not really.
Of course, I know tiger head batteries. Who doesn't? Unless you lived under a rock growing up.
But I'm just hearing of " Berec " Never heard of it. Duracell was another childhood favorite.

Omo, this metal torchlight looks heavy. This is what students with tiny wrists had to carry back then, in this sufferhead country, especially given that there would have been frequent power outages in the 80s and early 90s. Naija kids done dey try for the longest time. I salute you guys! " Is nor easi "
Well, ajebo life didn't afford me this experience y'all seem to be smiling as you recall them. I'm kind of feeling jealous, but , it's past now, so I don't really feel it that much (since no one's uses them anymore...so it's not like I'm left out..shey u get?)
One even said he used it in the village to often illuminate the path of his village crush back in the day . Trips mehn!
I'm even sure some big city homes had these same torches well well. Some rich forks too... Naija rich peeps, some of them used to just do copy copy, or follow the herd. Few had distinct taste, back then. Even when they could afford better, they didn't still know better. Or money- miss-road kinda people.
But it served it purpose, which was to shine a light(in fact many lights ) in the darkness of this our dear country to millions of homes back then, and that's all that matters, looking back at those years. Awww...I'm feeling the emotions some of u must be getting on this thread. Even though I never got the chance to experience it.
No one should come here an misunderstand my entire comment oh. Better read to understand, not to jump and mention my moniker with an attack. I said I didn't live that life, not that it was a bad life, or that I'm feeling porsh or different. I'm sure not everyone on this thread also got to live that sort of life. And this doesn't make us any better than you are. As a matter of fact, most of u who lived far less
affluent childhood lives than some of us did back then, are even more independent and even richer today than I, and others who might have missed out on those experiences.
Some of us done loose the silver spoon that we were born with. Gaskiya, it has even reached the level of aluminum spoon, not even bronze spoon. Hope u get da point now? If u don't, then I can't help you to.

Yes na, whenever it seems to misbehave you slap it on your left palm and life will come back to it

Good old days. I could remember combining two of this touch together making it 4battery. The brightness were awesome.

Omooo.....we gat old folk on here, even me I'm not left out with the experience


Reading comments give me goosebumps and ecstasy ...[left][/left]

Nairaland get too much funny people...thats y anytime I'm having bad day i rush to nairaland...

Day169:
Would you believe that majority of those torch lights and light bulbs were brought in from Taiwan and not China?

Taiwan is a Chinese island

I and my peeps used this torch to start our mini jet club back then, once it start that annoying partial contact, we'll all turn engineer trying to fix and repair.
I still have some of the bulbs.

Sekoni003:
Lol. Yellow bulb. You had to slap the shiii out of the bottom sometimes so it could work. Man I feel so old now

If you make mistake and reset the focal point, the light will just show wide ring of light either on the wall or ground without the light getting far too see what is ahead. You'll have to keep turning the front glass cover to see the torch again. Sometimes, this can take you do long before your success.

Sometimes when you get it at the right setting, you'll notice that the front cover is not yet right. You'll have to start all over again. It can be so frustrating.
