LED LENSER P7

[Joshatdot]

Is there any technical/spec difference between the LED LENSER P7 & T7?

Emphasis mine:
Are you sure about that? https://www.candlepowerforums.com/posts/2274471&postcount=16

Um... Wow! I'm pretty surprised really. I hadn't seen that link before.

Mine is not nearly airtight thats for sure. If you remove the tailcap and blow air into the barrel air will leak - lots of it, there is no O-ring at the lens. I've tried attaching an inflated balloon and it deflates in a few seconds, unlike in most other flashlights (including my maglites!) where the balloon will just stay inflated (for hours at least).

Thanks for the link but I'm still defanately not trying that with my Led Lenser!

i dont like marketing schemes that say thier light will "outshine anything of its size"...bottom line is, no it wont, because there will always be another light, even if not alreayd out, that will follow all too soon. Vague things like that and "3 times as bright" confuse the buyer more then tech specs.

The P7 has the new focusing system that's a simple push - slide in and out like a telescope. The T7 you screw/unscrew to change focus, the old system.

so does the head extend longer when you "push" it out? and by how much if so? i have not yet seen it in action...it sounds rather strange.

also for the "old system" where you screw/unscrew...does the head come off if u keep unscrewing? or is it like how a glue stick works where its only the glue that moves or in this case the lens?

The head extends only a few mm. As to the old system, the head will only turn about half a round before it stops. The whole head with the lens will move out/in to change the distance between the emitter and the lens. The emitter is mounted in the body.

130hours runtime - that's cheeky as my other lenser (the Police Focus) dimmed very quickly and may have lasted the 50 hours claimed, but at around 3 lumens. With a SSC P4 upgrade they are very nice - huge hotspot, no spill (it's all hotspot).

Tubor,

I think its pretty accurate after testing mine for 2 weeks now..

Its got a low power option - a High power option.. and a extra high power overide..

 

[Tubor]

Yea I mean 50 hours I was thinking - wow!! And then I realized it would be a gradual decline in brightness over 90mins or so, and then so dim. So dim.

But then with a low mode it might stay in regulation longer. Someone would really have to do brightness/runtime tests to be sure.

 

[BigTennisBall]

anyone bought one of these in the USA yet????

mine's still going strong...

You can ask klas1, he has one.

But he also doesn't seem to have other light to compare it to, so his opinion might be biased.

Hello & welcome i own a couple of Led Lensers but you'll soon find out there's a lot better value for money torches if you come on CPF regularly.So dive into the forum & try & gain as much as you can as there are a lot of members who are brilliant for finding out things your not sure of.

Gidday and welcome to CPF.
Is it possible you're referring to regulation/modes of the light as opposed to problems? LL i think, are trying to address this with some of their newer models. I own a few LL's, among them P7, P14 which have virtually no regulation, and start to dim after just a few minutes on high. Not to say they're not a good torch, but as davyro says, there are heaps of great value, well regulated lights available to choose from now. If you like the looks, size of the P7, you might find the single 18650 cell format a good place to start looking. There's an absolute plethora of styles/ manafacturers to choose from.
Have fun!!
