EDIT: I'm a bit drunk so never mind the epic below! I have a knock off H7R.2 which is pricier so yes this probably is legit. Left the original comment below anyway as some of it still applies.



Check it's real once you get it. There will be a serial on the top of the lens casing. Email it to LED Lenser in the UK (address is on their small UK site). They can email you back quickly and tell you if it's legit.

I bought one cheap few months ago as I needed something more powerful than my Tikka for a trip (paid more than this) and got suspicious when the battery casing was a bit... just a bit not right. LED Lenser said it was fake!

I still have it. Works just like the real thing - all the functions (tested every mode), battery life etc, all fab. Just one feature doesn't work and that's the dial on the front of the lens. Scary how good knock-offs can be these days.

If it wasn't for the battery casing being a tad off I'd never have known. The dial on the front lens I didn't think to try it until a month later (I knew it was fake by this point anyway). The sellers may not even know they've got fakes.

FWIW - I 'waterproofed' mine with black electrical tape. Weird how they make head torches that aren't fully waterproof. If I was in charge that'd be standard on all models.

Heated.

These are excellent, quality bit of kit. Heat

Excellent find, by far the best head torch I've ever owned over the past 15 years of expeditions. Bought this a couple of years ago for just over £40 and it still out performs much more expensive torches my friends own. Charge is great, as is the distance the main beam can shine to.

Ordered - thanks :smiley:

Brilliant bot of kit,If you havent got that much to spend clas ohlson do a twin kit as well,obviously not as good but not bad for £7.99 :smiley:

not worth it

sorry

I have both of these. Build quality is excellent.

yep.. I have 3 lensers. all of which I am very happy with.

the head torch is not worth the money

Bought this exact set whilst on holiday in the US. Price is 'Ross' was $4.99!

The pocket torch is v. very small, bus does a good job. The head torch is okay. The battery pack sits behind your head and you can adjust the brightness from a lever located on the battery pack.


...Nick B

How many lumens is this?

the link is not working anyone have a direct link ?

Why not? I've had an H7 for ages and it's an excellent bit of kit.

Not a bad price, but the Olight S15R from Bangood is cheaper and better - http://www.banggood.com/Olight-S15R-Baton-CREE-XM-L2-4Modes-Rechargeable-EDC-LED-Flashlight-p-948431.html.

Got mine from there just before Xmas for a little over £15 with a discount code. Worth looking if you're interested ..

so you are comparing £20 torch from Chinese site, when for £30 you get P7 head torch AND a flashlight shipped from UK..

£39.80 How do i get the price down?? Thanks

​banggood home of the fake crap

Mine was ordered from Bangood CN but shipped from the UK. As for Olight's quality .. it's not a cheap unknown chinese knock off ... Olight are a decent supplier of flashlights, just Google them :wink:

I bought a h7 +p3 pack about 4 years ago for a holiday, used it daily during every winter since. both gave up the ghost last year, sent for warranty repair, received a replacement h7.2 and p3bm in return.
the warranty is good ( lifetime, or 5 years), and they are good torches.
however, with the right information and soldering capability, you can buy the parts and make yourself something more up to date and therefore brighter and more efficient for cheaper : just check out the 'budget light forums', or blf for short!

Yes this worked thanks!! 58 in stock

That 58 stock figure seems to be static! I suspect it's not a live stock figure, and some of us may be disappointed. :neutral_face:

Well, my H7 has the same power as my T7 when on full power, yet is much more adjustable so I couldn't be happier.

Down to 55 now - I was wrong! :smile:

Use discount code M4DS15R for the Olight from Bangood ... reduces it down to £16 odd delivered.

Olight have verified mine to be a genuine model, low price is just because it's discontinued.

Don't knock what you haven't tried :smiley:

i have tried banggood, that is why i know most of there stuff is the same fake items as you would get on ebay.

So to compare the 2 items in question ... the H7 Headtorch outputs 170 lumens, the P3 Pen Torch outfits 16 lumens. Both require AAA batteries.

The Olight S15R outputs 240 lumens, has 4 different modes, includes a rechargeable battery and charger and is practically the same size as the P3 Pen Torch.

Oh, and Olight includes a 5year warranty, after that you simply pay for parts. I suspect that Lenser are much the same ?

As someone who uses flashlights a lot in my job, and require the best, I will finish by saying there are a lot better alternatives out there to LED Lenser. Olight are one of them ..

Will be snapping one up on Friday if still available :smile:

Delivered today - that was quick! :smile:

Oh dear. The head torch isnt even rechargeable, its battery powered. Wish i'd looked into the model a bit before I clicked buy.
