The Car Lenser penlight is so small, it will easily slot into a centre console cubby, or even a trouser pocket. It comes with a charger which slots into your 12V socket, so you need never find yourself caught out in the dark.

Any torch that’s used in a car is likely to get rough treatment, and this one is tough, easily surviving our series of one-metre ‘drop’ tests.

There’s also a warning cone which slides on the end – if you’re stranded on the hard shoulder, you can then wave the torch to alert other motorists.
