Plastic in battery holder disintegrated after a few years use. Looks nice when new but won't last the distance. Expensive rubbish. I suggest you buy a cheaper brand and stay away from Lenzer.

I recently replaced my earlier model P7 with the latest P7. The first one died after 9 years and a huge amount of use, and could not be repaired, but even so Zen Imports gave me a generous discount on the new one. Extremely bright and very reliable. The first one had a problem after about 5 years with the end cap switch, and a new one was sent overnight with no questions, no returning the unit etc. Just a phone call. These torches have a 7 year warranty and the company is great to deal with. I'm a happy camper!

Great features with 2 brightness settings and zoom focus function. Super bright with good battery life and small enough for the pocket. Unfortunately it is terribly unreliable. As a tradesman i was told these were one of the best on the market. Ive had 2 of them now and the swithes are pretty dodgy. Got to give the torch a knock after pushing the button to have it come on, even then its a lottery. As these are an expensive torch i wouldn't recommend buying one.

When I first used it, the torch worked very well, and threw out a lot of kit. However when it came to change the battery the screw cap on the rear broke under very little effort and I could not change the battery. When I attempted to get access from the front of he torch, I found it to be poor made with cheap/weak parts and glue.
