Lol at the number of people recommending 4D Maglites. Expensive to run, not even that bright, and unecessarily big and heavy.

Indeed, maybe a lot of the 4D Maglite folk just haven't used something like the L2D?

Just received my Led Lenser p7...the latest 200 lumen model..lovely build quality and came with a free Lenser laser pointer..which was nice.

 

[Thomas. PLease.]

I've got a 3d maglite. Bought it using my pocket money when I was about 11. Still got it ten years later, still works perfectly, and is very bright. Great torches.

I use my torch quite a bit at work, and gave up on my Lenser V2 in favour of an £8 Tesco LED 2 AA cell model. It was brighter and more ergonomic than the Lenser, which had an annoying habit of switching itself on in it's pouch.

Just been for a walk in the woods with the dogs and the Lenser P7...what an awesome torch for the size of it...75% power is more than enough and the quick focus is brilliant.

Another vote for the L2D or LD20. Got one after a thread i made on here and its awesome.

They are great

I also have the Led Lenser H7 headtorch, which is also fantastic.

The 4 cell maglite only gets used for letting the dogs out round the garden at night these days

Why not get a maglight and install a LED upgrade??????

 

[mangobreeder]

go for the 5 cell mag light, and get a wall mount too. had mine around 10 year, and no problems with it.

Well, I can recommend the Surefire G2 LED (pic of mine below)

I always carry my G2 in my bag, and it's a fantastic little torch.

I've also got a 2 C-Cell Maglite with LED upgrade for general home use.

No sales talk outside of the MM! - Thundycat.

Couldn't turn it down and didn't think of a filter! Silly me

No need for a filter, when foggy simply hold the head torch in your hand for better visibility.

Because they are not comparable, trust me.

My P7 is far better than my 4D cell maglite (which is the maglite LED version).

i collect torches and knifes(im sad...lol)...anyway ive got all the maglites(inc led conv), led lenser p range 3 - 14,v range etc, most of inova range

in my experience m8 you will not get more light/£ than the led lenser p range.
best bang for buck P5/P6

hope this helps

for occasional use the maglite is fine, if you use it a lot, get a fenix.

Well that solves that one. How did the Maglite look at wide focus ?

sorry - email sent

Maglite's have been trading on their name for a while now.

There are plenty of new LED torches out that pump out a lot more light.
