I have a friend that is into these led flashlights. He must have like 20 of them or something. Now I have to tell him about the P7 to see if he will bite.

Regarding the lack of waterproofness: Can it withstand rainy conditions or would that also be a problem?

Iain: Thanks for the heads up on that. I am a careful guy, usually, so I probably wouldn’t be taking this thing under water, anyway, but it’s good to know the limitations I was previously unaware of.

Great review, however these torches are NOT waterproof (sadly) in fact they are less water resistant than a maglite. You briefly touch on the reason for this in your review – because the torch is designed to be focused by sliding the head forward and backwards (which is very convenient) there is only a thin rubber seal to keep water out, unlike a maglite which has an aluminium screw thread between the head and the body of the torch (this is why the head of a maglite must be twisted in order to focus the light as opposed to simply being slid forwards). Also the swtich at the base on the P7 will leak water as there is no rubber seal here again unlike the maglite which has a rubber seal over the on/off switch.

Don’t get me wrong, I have one of these torches and think it’s awesome (way brighter than anything else, great burn time and so small, and it’s replaced the maglite in my car) but it is not waterproof and someone could be left in an awkward situation if they though it was. If you do want a fully waterproof torch then led lenser make one called the frogman (65m waterproof I think).

Have a great day!

Great review. I use a small led flashlight at work when going into dark enviroments. The P7 flashlight would definitively come in handy for me. Thanks for sharing. Lady Pirate Costume's last blog post..Pirate Queen Costume

Hey Joe, Ive read a very good review about this flashlight on some consumer reviews website (i forgot the exact website name) but they rated it very very well. One of the things that is very attractive about this flashlight to me is that its so small but has plenty of power...thanks for the review!

BenSpark: … And I’m not sure about the CommentLuv thing. I’m pretty sure it grabs your feed, so I’m not sure how it could get an old post like that.

Heather: Sounds like you could really use one. It does fit nicely in a purse or pocket, so that helps.

BenSpark: Thanks. I just started reading through the included product guide and there was so much tech info I couldn’t ignore it. =)
