Woolworths had the lantern version in and
Millets do a good sturdy version.Ebay sellers are a bit pricey.
I would suggest getting one that also does phonecharging.Our torches all do this as well as our lanterns...very handy in a powercut!
I have a little 'squeezy' one too which is brill because its smaller,easier to carry about and not so hard on the arms.;)

I found that the wind up torches don't last very well, solar ones are much better, try http://www.greenstamp.co.uk/product_info.php/cPath/54/products_id/125. I love mine.
