LED Lenser P7 Aluminum LED Pocket Flashlight, Black

Product Information

Whilst the optics of this light are impressive, the output and runtime are less impressive. Testing was performed with freshly charged 4th Gen FDK Eneloop NiMH cells. On 250 lumen high mode with NiMH batteries, the output follows a typical NiMH discharge curve as would be expected for a direct drive light. There is a drop in output during the first few minutes, though this is difficult to notice in reality. The output appears to fairly constant until around 75 minutes, when the light starts to noticeably dim. By 90 minutes the output was around 15 lumens, and continued at this output until I stopped testing at 165 minutes, at which point the most discharged cell was at 0.96V. Thus the claimed 4 hour (240 minute) runtime on high, is more around 75 minutes until the light looses its usefulness. Advanced Focus System: Can focus the light beam as a spot or flood, without losing quality of light Ledlenser’s signature brand experience cannot be complete without our top-notch torch accessories to keep your bond with our products solid and reliable. Browse our extensive collection of torch accessories and give yourself a pleasant and worry-free experience with our iconic lighting devices.

Brilliant all-rounder medium sized torch offering exceptional performance, durability and efficiency Half-pressing and holding the switch in allows for 320 lumen turbo (boost) output – this allows for short/tactical use, but means that you can’t permanently run the light at 320 lumen. It has a max 320 lumen output on the boost mode and 250 lumen on the high mode – this level of brightness combined with the excellent optics make it a great camping torch and should be sufficient for most campers’ needs. if you start in MEDIUM mode (230 lumens) the lamp will slowly decrease brightness to 65% (130 lumens) during the next 4.5 hours. Then you´ll have another 30 minutes of slowly decreasing brightness until the lap blinks and switches off. Our range of torch accessories includes and is not limited to charging devices, torch cases, LED wallets, mounts, colour filter caps, connecting kits for head torches, signal cones, wristbands and many other things that will make sure your lighting gadget is always charged and taken the best care of. Whether you want to charge your torch while in nature or you need your head torches light to change colours (and the head torch is not equipped with other light colours than the standard one), you can always find an accessory to have you covered.LED Lenser are known for solidly built lights, and this one is no exception. It has survived many drops onto hard surfaces with no issues. The 5 year (now 7 year) warranty stands by the build quality. The light is only rated IPX-4 due to the zoom mechanism, and thus it is advisable to not use the zoom mechanism in wet weather.

Having said this, the fact that the P7.2 uses 4 AAA batteries means spares should be readily available and are fairly cheap. Is the Ledlenser P7.2 the Torch for you?LED Lenser do not publish the emitter type, emitter bin, tint, or CCT. However it appears to be a cool white Cree XP-G2. There is slight purple tint. The CRI is estimated to be in the 70-80 CRI range, and is noticeably better than the LED Lenser P7QC. As the light is resistor controlled, there is no PWM. The LED Lenser P7.2 is a zoomy / flood to throw light, and uses 4x AAA batteries. Alkalines are recommended (likely due to the light being direct drive), though I use NiMH batteries in this light with no apparent issues. The P7 Core as successor to the P7 still has one of our most innovative light technologies, the patented Advanced Focus System, which allows a continuous transition from a broad flood beam to a sharply focused long-distance beam without losing the quality of light. In addition, the P7 Core features Rapid Focus technology for single handed operation and is powered by four AAA alkaline batteries. Dynamic Switch ? - Reactive, large single switch controls light options (Power, Low Power, Boost) and is easier to use with gloves on. The P7.2 Torch has a CREE LED light chip which, when combined with the patented Advanced Focus System (AFS), delivers an excellent level of lighting performance, that uniquely combines lens and reflector to deliver a wide superior homogenous flood beam for close-up visibility, together with a sharply focused spot beam for long distance visibility – resulting in one of the world’s best focusing systems for LED torches.

At the zoom/throw end of the beam, there is an almost circular bright hotspot with no spill beam. There is minimal halo effect compared to other zoomy lights. Thus as the zoom/throw end, this light produces an impressive pencil beam of light that is useable (i.e. can identify animals) at over 150m. Whilst this light has an impressive beam at both ends of the zoom range, things do get a bit funky in the middle of the zoom range (in particular closer to the zoom end of the scale) as the below photo shows. This beam artefact is less obvious when not looking at a white wall! Thanks for correcting me. I was going off a review I had read of the P7R. I’ll correct my “discussion”. The price is still ludicrous in Australia though!I will quote from a review I´ve found in the german TLF. A fellow forum member measured the time for the P7R: The flood is perfectly even and ideal for short range, while at full zoom the range is quite impressive. The only downsides IMHO are the early stepdown to 60% in high to protect the LED ( while the light itself is not really hot, only a bit warm…) and the switch which is a bit stiff and needs much force to press. At the wide/flood end the beam is very uniform, with a sharp beam cut off. This allows for very even illumination of objects compared to the typical hotspot and spill beam of non-zoom flashlights.
