Customer Reviews

Let there be light !
I purchased this to assist with my work on aircraft. It hasn't disappointed ! While at close quarters the tight spot focus is overpowering, a quick slide of the head will produce a lovely all encompassing flood light. This is very useful when working in a small confined area. It's this functionality that sells the torch for me and the fact that it will happily accept cheap and plentiful AA alkaline batteries.

The inclusion of AA batteries might lead one to draw the conclusion that this is a small torch that will tuck inside a pocket - It isn't. While it hangs nicely off a belt with the included holster (nice quality !) and tucks inside a baggy overall pocket ok,it is too big to realistically place in a trouser or breast pocket. Punters after that sort of portability might do well to consider the P7.

The torch looks and feels good and the machining quality looks 1st class. I'm very impressed !

An improvement I would like to see would be a redesign of the body to stop the torch rolling when placed on a flat surface. I suspect that Lenser chose style over fuction in this respect. It would be nice to see a smart looking anti roll sleeve that could slip over the head to overcome that problem , but it's a minor point.

Note - The torch I ordered (not from amazon) details the lumens on the gift box label as being 200 with a beam range of 300m and burning life of 150 hours. These figures are different to the led lenser site and spec listed by Amazon. I am wondering if there are slightly different versions of this torch ?

Anyway - very nice

Excellent design - excellent quality
You certainly get what you pay for with this torch - the build quality is exemplary - a beautiful piece of quality engineering so rarely seen these days. It may be expensive but compared to your average torch this is in another league.
I needed a bright torch with a long battery life and this is perfect. One word of caution - I bought the bubble pack with the "test" facility that shines the light into a mirror and straight into your eyes - lets say the brightness came as quite a shock!
The pack I got had 2 sets of batteries and a case. If looked after this torch should last a long time i.e. gold plated contacts etc. - It'll be interesting to see how long the LED lasts - it's certainly the brightest LED I've ever seen - only 3W but appears to be brighter than your average million candle type torch - and the batteries last 30 times longer.
Highly recommended.

LED Lenser 8414 P14 Black Torch
Hi

This is a fantastic torch. It is strong and durable and the light the torch gives out is incredible. It is the only torch I would buy or recommend.

The beam is pure white light, which gives a crystal clear view, it lights up a vast area, and the reach is superb. The darker the area the more you appreciate the light it gives.

Standard torches give a yellow type of light. Once you have used and seen the power of the white beam, you will then truly appreciate what you¡¦re working with.

It is great practically as well looks the part. The torch comes with its own pouch to protect it. You can hook it onto your belt. One of the best features is the long battery life, as well as the use of standard four AA batteries which you can purchase from any shop, should you run you out, and you can conveniently buy them again.

I recommend this touch especially for the following people:
Ï Security guards / bouncers.0
Ï Care Takers.
Ï Cemetery keepers.
Ï Dog walkers who use the country side / parks.
Ï Folks who live in the country side.
Ï Ramblers and campers.
Ï Farmers.
Ï Emergency torch (car, power cut).

The torch is not a toy, it is a strong and powerful torch which is practical on a day to day basis, it is not bulky or uncomfortable to hold or use. When you use it you will know you are using a quality strong and durable tool.
