Good
We have a P7 and also the H7R headlamp. Like the person before me said, the P7 certainly matches the light output of a great big MagLite (I had the maglite rechargeable) and really yes the P7 is expensive but if you consider the fact that the rechargeable maglite sold for something like $360 then perhaps it's not so bad. Besides the batteries last you a lot longer (maglites run time I think is around two hours) and you have equivalent or better light output from something that is a hell of a lot smaller. Also you don't get the shadows, dead spo...Read more
ts or whatever they're called when you go from spot to flood. I know we will certainly be getting a 2nd headlamp from LED Lenser. I have put some electrical tape near the bottom of my P7 for those times when one needs to hold the torch in their mouth! Yes there are a few small things I'd change just for personal preference but overall I think it's a fantastic product and well worth the money. It certainly lived up to my expectations of being a replacement for the big old maglite. Great light output and duration for the size of the torch and batteries! I would prefer if the on / off switch wasn't at the bottom. Also would find it better if it cycled through the settings from low to high to off rather than high to low to off, but I guess it depends on the circumstances it's used in, not so great if you use it to go from bed to the toilet but it would make sense if you were a policeman or something ha ha. I find that with the low setting I have to double check that I've turned it off rather than left it on low.1 comment

Big output in a little pouch
I bought mine on Ebay and was a little unsure as to what to expect. I was surprised at the quality of everything from the packaging to the build and the optics.
Zoomed out the light throw is incredibly even, zoomed in I can easily make out detail on the house, behind the house across the road (over 75m).
I work as a building supervisor and carry this with me in the tough little belt pouch all day every day. Every time I use it with a tradie I am asked what sort it is.
Well worth the $50 spent.
I bought additional batteries for it, but aft...Read more
er 2 months am still using the originals. Really easy to zoom, great quality feel, easy to carry. It's hard to fault, but giving it a flat end would enable it to 'stand up' and illuminate a room by reflecting off a ceiling.

I am from KL, its with me all day long 365, just like it, previously mine is LL7732DUV and it too is still a working unit after 3 years and six months.
LED Lenser is great with reasonable price.

Questions & Answers
robasked
need the measurements of the P17 to make a pouch as the original pouch is stuffed, 320 mm long with a 31.5mm shaft but my question is what is the diameter of the lamp end and length of this?
1 answer
Hi Rob, I have the P7, which has a narrower shaft but flares 10mm extra for the reflector. Looking at the photos of the P17, It looks to have the same flare shape and would possibly increase on the shaft by 10-12mm.

It was a bit disappointing that the button on both head torches ended up failing, it would malfunction so sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't.
eadlamps would get quite hot sometimes, but that's just due to the nature of LED lights that offer such brightness I guess, the wasted energy (heat) has to go somewhere.Something I also noticed is that the led h... Read more
