LED Lenser P7

[Brown Bear]

I've been wanting one of these amazing torches ever since I got lost trying to navigate back to a campsite cross-country from a pub in Edale once. I stumbled across a deal in a Cotswold Outdoor shop today and bought it.

Boy is it bright! I mean really bright! Forget those maglights and tesco cree torches. This is the muts nuts. As you can see, I'm rather impressed. The build quality is very good and the one handed focus feature is great.

I have Police Tech Focus model and with 105 lumens it's brighter than 3D cell Maglite.
Can't imagine how bright P7 is.
Can we expect some review?

My local Maplins have the Police Tech Focus at £39
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=227434 , but the same torch (or so it looks) as part of a gift set for £29 http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?moduleno=345689 , complete with a 'V² Key Finder, a high quality rugged pocket torch'. I don't understand the financial logic, but it seems like a good deal.

I too have the Police Tech Focus and cant rate it highly enough.

I tried my new P7 out last night while sorting the recycling for collection. It was illuminating neighbours houses 100m away. It throws a beam like a car headlight.

I was always a petzl headtorch fan, but I think with this P7 on a short lanyard around my neck, night time camp business should be well illuminated. The beam can go very wide to illuminate a wide area of floor.

Brilliant aren't they. I have the T7 version which is supposed to be the tactical version and has a twist beam focus.

Yeah, I have been playing with the L7 for the last 4 - 5 weeks and it's very good. Twist focus is a down side as I do like the slide focus on some of the other LED Lenser torches, but so far the battery life, battery type and the power that they throw makes them a bargain. The L7 inclusive of delivery cost somewhere in the region of £24 and are not to be sneezed at.

Hi Lads ( + lasses ) ,
the Led Lenser P7 is definately money well spent , outshines Surefire and most certainly the good old reliable maglite ( good in its day , but hasn't moved on since ) .
The P7 has 3 light settings , 1st very bright , 2nd mid/inspection bright and a quick push of the tail button it will go from mid to extremely bright . Like the surefire torches the light button is located in the tail of the torch .
The P7 uses bog standard alkaline AAA batteries ( available in any decent corner shop ) , not the expensive lithium batteries used in surefire torches .
Also AAA batteries last longer than Lithium and for the same amount of light ( lumens ) .
The Led Lenser range of torches use a light chip rather than a bulb , so obviously no bulb to replace and also better light beam , no dark spot in the middle that you get with a maglite type bulb .
Also check out the Led Lenser X21 ( 4 D-cell maglite on steroids ) , awesome light power from it , put it on your list to santa !

X21R is a monster of a torch
1270 lumens:Wow:

 

[Warrigal]

Yes the ledlensers are great, and if you get a chance to play with the x21 just don't point it a any satellites as damage to them may result.
We sell both Led lenser and Surefire and we do see (percentage wise) more Ledlensers come back with impact damage ( dropped) and more duds out of the box ( don't work properly when opened. Mainly the multi coloured tac and the p14's) Never had a Surefire back for impact damage. For most people that isn't an issue because they don't use their torch that hard but if it absolutely positively must work all the time I'll stick with my Surefire.

I abused my LedLenser Police Tech for last 2 years and it’s still kicking.
If I had to buy new torch now it would definitely by Led Lenser.

i have one of these and you simply cant fault it, the build quality is spot on, the beam is brilliant and very bright. its been used frequently since i got it in january and the beam is still as strong as ever on the same set of batteries.

 

[Shingsowa]

I absolutely love my P7, and our team has just bought a dozen P14s for searching at night. We even used an X21 to light our way when the headlights on the landie failed yet again!

I have the head torch and it is deff the dogs doohdahs.

 

[woof]

I have been issued with one, but it just says, led lenser, with no model number, and i'm not that impressed.

I have a P3 & P6 (Ithink) both are superb!
I have used them thru much of the year, the P6 runs on two AA's and is a really good EDC, throwing superb power and even making a really good bike light.
The P3 runs on one AAA, weighs far less than most head torches and has a superb light throw (as well a battery life of 40 hours), the focus system really works. For what we do as bushcrafters it is more than enough (and all from one AAA battery!) It is light, powerfull and if the battery is charged from a small solar charging unit, it costs nothing to run!!
A good argument I think!!!!!

Nice looking torch. But 45 to 50 pounds for a torch? You've got to be kidding!

[Rumcajs]

I wouldn't say £50 is a lot for something that last you for a very long time.
Like I said before I have Police Tech which I used and abused and after 2 years it’s still working with no problems whatsoever. If P7 is build to the same standards I wouldn’t hesitate.
