Didn't need it..... but you made me want it.

Ordered.

I am weak.

​I prefer my Maglite. Can give someone a good whack if they get out of line :laughing:

Lenser do there own rechargeable aaa and more http://www.ledlenser-store.co.uk/accessories-c69/3-x-aaa-ni-mh-battery-for-h7r-p1033

Use good rechargeable i.e eneloop,fujitsu etc and a Technoline BC1000 charger myself

The environmental cost is so much higher though.
I think something like the Olight S30R Baton II looks much better.

Yikes, has no one used an led lenser with rechargeables?
I thought you owned some?
Surely you don't use disposable batteries?

I wouldn't make presumptions about the suitabiliy of rechargeables - rechargeable AAA batteries are 1.2v each, not 1.5v like alkaline batteries. Do some research first and perhapsmshare you find. HTH.

How well does this work as a bike light?

Seems a good deal, and need a new bike light too, and would like a torch. Seems silly to get both separately.

There are unofficial and official mounts.

Here's the official one:

Any recommendations?

Also, I hope this performs fine/well with rechargeable batteries?

I do wonder if it's better to just get a torch with a rechargeable battery unit.

Don't feed the troll! :smile:

It seems the P14.2 is discounted also; lowest price for this model too. The T7M seems to be newer though, so still the better buy it would seem.

Ledlenser P14.2 Professional LED Torch (Black) - Gift Box, 9414

Warehouse after 20% discount makes it £18.xx which isn't bad - condition: Damaged packaging

I ordered this last night and amazon delivered it this afternoon lol, one thing to note if you register the warranty online they extend the warranty from 5 to 7 years

i was picking them up for £25 all day long - as i was just saying this is the normal price as nobody buys them at £45 - £50

battery life is 35 hours, so means the torch wolud keep on working for 35 hours???

For anybody still thinking of ordering one.....

Mine arrived yesterday, and I am very impressed with it.

The engineering quality is lovely.

The light beam is superb.

For the money, don't think twice, go for it.

The T7 is the 'tactical' version of the P7 to which I referred. As mccririck says, this, the T7M, is a different kettle of fish from the T7/P7 from two years ago. Further, if you want to show that it's the normal price you'd be better to use 3camels to back up what you're saying.

But why do you need a torch for breaking glass? A brick is better any day. I love my brick!

That wasnt the M version. the M version was always much more expensive - this is a constant current version which does not get dimmer as the batteries run down.

Great deal, but from my experience i prefer Nitecore torches, i feel that the adjustable lense on these tends to fail. Good price though.

heat added, been after a good torch for a while ,this will replace my ring led torches that develop faults after a while will also replace them supplied aaa bats with high powered rechargeable bats i have

it was more or less the same model and it was like a tub of chocolate thats posted every other day. ie: it was the standard price.

that deal was over a year ago and only got 67 degrees

Blimey square shadow, that will be cree T6 then, that is old tech for led torches. Have about 5 lensers, cpl Maglite, Fenix, olight, Nitecore, surefire, trust fire and a few other brands.

some of the Chinese direct to look at is Convoy, good quality, well built, and use latest cree and drivers. Manker and Klaus are very good as well. Lumintop have a good reputation as well. Astrolux is another one to look at.

what a lot of people fail to realise, is not just buying the torch, but the aftercare as well. 5 years no quibble guarantee, like to see the negative people get that on the feit or other cheap torch

just a couple of years ago ( or perhaps 18 months ) £26 was the standard price on amazon for one of these. terrible how they slowly increase the price.

Can you share some of your research please - enquiring minds need to know "the brands and retailers to trust"! This is a deal sharing community after all.

Candlepower forum is the most knowledgeable site I use for research.

As for the square LED on the Feit torches, the only time this is really visible is when the the lens is fully focused - when it's fully focused with the 1000 lumen torch I can spot my dog across a field 300 yards away - I've not really found a need to use the full forcus as the light you get with the spread is adaquate for plenty distance for me.

I'm a bit of a torch geek and have two ledlensers and think they're overpriced and mediocre in terms of performance. I've previously posted deals for the Feit torches from Costco which are unbeatable in terms of performance for the price, and my 1000 lumens 3 D cell is still going well and is on its second winter for dog walking. Costco's current offer is a pack of two 750 lumen 3 C cell torches for something like £15.99 plus vat including the 6 batteries. They also have a newer version of the 1000 lumen torch which is now submersible for just over £20.

The following that the ledlenser has on here baffles me, I'm an engineer by trade and appreciate good design, but you're clearly paying a lot for the name and not for the performance.

Yes there are lots of rubbish Far East torches available, but a little bit of research will find the brands and retailers to trust.

The Feit torches are available from other outlets, just a bit more expensive than Costco, here's some on Amazon with prime delivery.

torch a bit silly sized for me
too big for edc and why do they still insist on using AAA?!

I never knew you could replace the bulb with LED ones. I'll check this out. Thanks

Thanks OP, been looking for a good quality torch for a while, but was waiting for the right deal. Quality of this is way beyond what is needed for my requirements, but what the hell! You can judge a man by the quality of his torch.

Didn't need it..... but you made me want it.

Ordered.

I am weak.

Maglites are great torches, I have a 4D with 220Lumen LED bulb conversion. Whole thing cost less than £30 and is proper tactical.

Ordered the P7.2 model for around the same price which was supposed to be 320 lumens on boost and like this torch uses the 4 AAA batteries.
Felt let down compared to my 200 lumen Zebralight which runs on 1AA as the Led lender fogs up, is a pain to change the batteries in the dark and doesn't have a significant throw increase despite it's advantageous specks.
Hope this torch is better as it advertises 400 lumens but don't know how any torch that uses this battery format can take itself seriously by calling itself tactical. Do high capacity AAA batteries exist?

400lmn M7 user here and love it!!...when I go camping kids love lightning the whole site up, lol :confused:.

Amazing quality torches, love my Lenser.

It's not just about the size, it's what you can do with it lol. I'm happy with my trusty old 4D. :smiley:

This is where we get the Chinese junk that has a square shape of the chip in light when focused out and falls apart after little use...

yes, please tell

Still overpriced. Brighter, similar torches are available for less with very high ratings.

Lol. Tactical.

Ordered this back in April for 29.99 on Amazon so not sure why it doesn't show on Camel?
Nice bright torch and high which is expected from Led Lenser. You can break a glass window with this ones end cap which is an advantage over the similar models.

I have a Thrunite TN12 and although the light output will be far brighter than the LedLenser it does not have a zoom, and it uses 18650 batteries (+ the Thrunite is twice as expensive)

I have a 6 D cell Maglite that I bought 20 odd years ago, I put in a LED instead of the old bulb and use rechargeable batts, I left it switched on and it stayed lit for over 70 hours, has a nice comforting weight to it, LOL.

thanks.just what I need.hot :smile:

if you're thinking of getting one, get one at this price, you'll be amazed, I think they're one of the best compact torches on the market, I own one and I've just ordered this for a stocking filler for my son.
thanks opp, voted hot.

Well spotted - thanks OP. :smiley:
