Can you suggest any small, lightweight torches? The smallest and lightest is also remarkably bright for its size. The Sapphire Mirage, a real gem, is slim and just an inch or so long. Press its button and it emits a bright blue light -ideal for finding keyholes late at night or illuminating dark paths.

What's the battery power like? The tiny torch is guaranteed for life - if the crystal bulb or 'pill' battery fails, it is replaced free of charge. A clip is built into the design so the Sapphire Mirage can usefully be added to a key-ring or attached to a bag.

How much? £12.95, plus p&p, from The Widescreen Centre (0115 9455459).
