LED Lenser P5E - One tough torch

[Will_]

Last night I was reunited with my LED Lenser P5E…

For the last 2 weeks it has been laying on my father in law’s driveway. It has endured all the Christmas and New Year’s storms, and from the gravel dents in it, you can see it’s been driven over at least once! (By a Nissan Qashqai!)

My father in law found it yesterday and gave it to me. To my surprise and amazement, it turned on instantly! It’s still working perfectly as if it had been in my pocket the whole time!

I’m not massively into my torches. I just need something reliable, with good battery life that will light the area around me well. Since it was only £16, I’m sure the specs aren’t great, but I will definitely vouch for its toughness! If anyone needs a tough little torch, I’d encourage you to check it out!

They are fantastic torches, I have two H7rs for mountaineering and have a P7 for general purpose, they are all very much waterproof they have all seen the worst of the elements multiple times .

I got a P7.2 based on the advice of a member of the local SAR group. Byeck is it bright! Taking it out into the dark of the woods, it was lighting up large swathes with ease. The controllable beam is a delight too. I've not had it run over by any cars recently, but I've dropped it a few times without issue.

Might have to invest in the bike bracket for this thing.

I must say yes, good value torches, and for what you pay for them you certainly get a quality product. LED LENSER are my overall favourite torches, I have several scattered about in various kits for many many years now. As for the blue moon..........."Ahhhhh, the moon!"

The bike bracket for the Lensers is very good by the way - very positive grip, & very easy to install
