Abstract
A torch which has re-chargeable batteries is provided with a plug 14 that fits a conventional domestic wall socket for automatic charging of the batteries. The plug 14 is retractable by relative rotation into a body 10 of the torch when not required. An electro luminescent sheet (not shown) is mounted behind an aperture in the body 10 so that a 'glow' is provided whenever the plug is inserted in a live mains socket. The glow enables the torch to be conveniently used as a night light.
