Sorry to inform people of this, but the ones on eBay are almost always counterfeit, this is one of the most copied flashlights in the world. The Led Lenser in this video is also a fake. I used to work for an authorized reseller of these lights and we were given a catalog on how to spot fakes and this one is 100% fake. That being said, the knock off that you have does appear to be of higher quality than the average knock off. I wonder how a real one does compared to this fake one?
Hi uncle / nonkel - I'm an urban explorer so often I find myself in old abandoned buildings / cellars with little to no light. First I need a strong light to make navigation in these environments easier and my camera has a difficult time to focus in almost absolute darkness. Would this LED lamp be sufficient enough to navigate in such conditions? I currently have small led lenser and the light density fall-off is too short which leaves the end of the room in darkness.
I paid 70€ for T7 model last year. I mainly bought Led Lenser for my bike and is incredible. I was stunned when i first saw that power on bike. I am using 4 AAA 1.2V NI-MH 1100mAH batteries for around 4 hours of usable light.
Hi nonkel roge. Just wanted to say, this is a very good review and you speak great English for a second language. I just bought a P7, after watching this.
Thanks for the review, I just paid $33-00 from ELECTRONICKING ON EBAY, and had the torch in my hands with in a week, and what a fantastic torch this is too, in Adelaide, they want $144-00 for these.
I just bought a Led Lenser V6-6 Chips today and never even heard of it until today and I will say this it is very bright the best light I ever had, thinking about getting the P17.
In the U.S. I paid $48.00 for the V6-6Chip and they show $109.00 for the P17
Hey nice review. Which of the two torches do you prefer, this one or the 'Police' one by Lenser? where abouts in Belgium are you by the way? I used to live in Leuven for a while, back when i worked in Brussells.
very nice torch i also got it BUT im sorry to tell you you've got the old version of this torch the new torch got's up to 200 lumens you're torch's got only 170 lumens although your version is a little bit more (sorry but i don't know the english opposit of thin.) thanks for the video!

guys before you buy this crap plz go online and do check the stunning SSC P7.its worlds brightest flashlight ever which produces nearly 900 lumens with the latest invention,a small chip called CREE and its also cheaper than this flashlight.if you want to buy one,buy it at ebay from hong kong coz there you can buy it very cheap.i have bought one at ebay form hong knog which cost me about £31 the brands name is ultrafire SSC P7,terribly bright,awesome. i am really very happy with it.
I got one of these today - one word: STUNNING. It is like having a floodlight in the palm of your hands. I didn't intend on spending £54 on a tourch but it was well worth it; the price also included the tiny P3
What i would have liked is for their P14 (4 x AA) battery design to be the same as this one (p7). ie, 4 batteries all parallel to each other, not 2 x 2 parallel, that way the torch can still remain relatively short (albeit, a little wider)
The 4 tripple a's make it alot bigger than I thought... I have the LED Lenser three tripple a's and its great, I keep it in my pocket, but there is no focus no dim mode which I like.
great review man. i've been shopping around for a good light after using a friend's surefire defender. i love the way the battery compartment is made, and the gold-plating for the contacts is excellent engineering. i think you've made a believer out of me!
surefire is also a good light man. I haven't found anyone dissapointed about this P7 as well. This weekend took it to Germany. It prooved usefull again.
cool. ideally, i would like to have one torch/hid, such as the led lenser x21or wolf eyes mini boxer, one hand held high output LED (like this one) and one keychain as a backup/last resort. one for each type of duty.
if you want a keychain look at the led lenser range of keychains, i have one and it is brighter than my old torch (i bought a P7 a few weeks ago after testing it in a shop and couldn't belive how strong it was)
hi man. I don't own any feni lights at the moment,; but still currious about them. I'm only sceptical that they are made in China. I like the 10 year warranty on the LL ones though. :)
I own a Fenix L20D, they are excellent. with only 2AA, u get almost the same lm, and its pretty thin/light, sits tight with a headband, which is very useful whlile hiking, u dont need to hold to get max power....
I thought Led Lenser is made in China too, it writes Germany on it, but not Made in Germany, so I doubt....
Also, this light can be used to send S.O.S. messages in an emergency (or other morse code, if you know it) with the momentary on switch. With the long range, the light should easily reach an aircraft or ship to rescue you in an emergency. I can't stop talking about this light, and my friends are in awe when I light up every street sign for 4 city blocks on the spot focus high output setting. Nothing else compares to this pocket light, unless you want to spend more on batteries than the light.
I agree man. I know that alot of lights are made ultra small and "futuristic" to get the WOW affect. But you know I'd rather have something bigger that will eat inexpensive batteries and last long. By the way that 10 year warranty is also quite cool :)
The video can't really do proper justice, I am sure it filters some of the brightness.
This light shines ultra bright, and gets long lasting use of AAA batteries, where any counterpart uses expensive lithium batteries, and has a fraction of the battery life of the P7. Best pocket sized light ever made, in my opinion.
I'm sorry man. This info would be also interesting to me as well. On the website of LL it says 170lummen chip and it eats 4x AAA batteries. They are usually 1250mAh each.
Nice reviews you have made on these lights. I love my new LED Lensers, it is fun to bust out the dual P14's and use them both at the same time, one on full flood, one on full spot. The 340+ lumen beam they create looks like a "regular" coated reflector beam... Pretty interesting.
Goeie review ! Hier was ik juist naar op zoek.

Lenser X21 really Love Sanyo Enoloop AA or D.(Like Sunlight)
I had compare side by side with "Fenix TK70" & "Led Lenser X21 with Sanyo D enoloop".
Led Lenser is indeed have further throw & have more than 2200Lumen power than Fenix TK70.
Insist use Sanoy enoloop D size battery, Boost from 1050 Lumen to 2200++Lumen or more.
Proven already. 100% conform because i have them both to compare.
I dont know why Fenix 2200 Lumen is not as bright as Led Lenser x21? It's True. It really happen.

If i'm right, LL have one factory in Germany, and one in China, so they can be china made.
I have had one broken Fenix light (The switch) and got it replaced within a week.
I have had 3 LL that became broken.
If you want a USA, Germany or something owned company, try out 4Sevens or Zebralight. Brighter and smaller than LL's products.
