The Led lenser "P" Series are great lights in my opinion, and several of the lights are now regulated (M Series).
Well, I tested M1 and M5 and they are not flat regulated. Only addition is the strobe mode.

Members of this forum are into lights so hopefully we can guide and help each other without all this Led Lenser hating banter.
Can't speak for others. (And not going to try.)
I can honestly say that my negative comments are not based on hatred. I've owned LL lights, and base my criticism on past experience. I stand behind everything I mentioned in my earlier post.

i wished i knew why they go to all the trouble makeing thier fancy reflector lens when aspheric is better and probally cheaper to make.
Well every time I go past a disposal or tactical store here, all the people behind the counter are pushing LED Lensers into my face going "CHECK OUT THIS NEW LED LENSER ADVANCED TAKTIKOOL FLASHLIGHT" and showing me how the beam is "artifact-free" with a thumb-sliding focus mechanism and stuff.
I'll be honest, the Led Lenser I've got (P7) seems bright, but I'm not as amazed with them as these store people would try and have me believe I would be.
In either case, perhaps I could find someone willing to buy $50 for the P7.
'Really that good'? I've always gotten the impression on this forum that Led Lensers are consistently overrated by non-flashaholics and that in reality they lag behind all the major brands that are followed on this forum. But hey, maybe I missed something..
Nothing false about what LL recommends for use in their lights. They recommend alkies. (The worst battery technology out of the three.) While quite a few CPFers have indeed mentioned using AA or AAA rechargeables with no issues at all, LL does not mention using them in their lights. This situation is also true regarding use of lithium AA and AAA cells. Haven't seen too many CPFers willing to take the chance on using those cells in their LL lights.
Again, you can not generalize like that since it is not true for all the models. They have several models that do not even accept alkalines, and they do seem to "recommend" lithiums and nimh's to some of their new "common battery" lights too.
