Thanks for the heads up, I dont usually buy much from Jaycar for the same reason, I only read the rated information. Needs more technical information. I am getting more disappointed with them over time, purchaced some torches for conversion and they are cheap as. LED not working opened one up and found very poor soldering technique.
