Default Recommend an in car torch

I'd like to get a 12v rechargeable torch for the car. The Rover ones just are not bright enough.

something like this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/MCCC-Rechar...A2T9QP7PFFC029

can you recommend a 12v rechargeable torch?
I don't want something big in size.

I bought a rechargeable head torch, working on the theory that if I ever needed to use it at night I would most likely want to use both hands in order to fix anything. I also have a really good little battery powered multi LED bought from ASDA that has both a hook and a magnet attatched so it can mount pretty much anywhere on or in the car.

I'd recommend the BMW / Rover one as it's an exact fit, but upgrade with an LED bulb it makes a real difference.
