[gunjac]

i have the p7, and would not swap it ,its great done a bit of lamping with it too.

the picture with the cat and light on spot , how far away from you was that . i just find it hard to belive such a small torch can produce suitabile light to go hunting . iv never seen one in action ( torch that is ) i assumed you need a big light like a tracer max . looks really impressive .

Just measured the range to the cat, 19 Yards mate

OK, a comparative with the Lenser and the China Clone...



As you can see the clone is smaller and has a useful assault crown (depending on the intended use)

It is also not a bad matt black finish, the green tube on the Lenser is a mini glow stick so I can find it and my kit bag in the dark quickly at work.

Below we have the Lenser on the left, the clone on the right in "Low" mode



And same again, but the clone is in "high" mode, the Lenser is just on/off



As you can see the Clone is brighter, this picture shows it better



Both torches are running Engeriser Lithium batteries, new and fresh

At £40 for the Lenser, it's better made and takes far fewer twists between flood and spot, it also has a more natural colour to the light, but at £6.80 for the clone it can not be ignored, it is well made, but the water proofing is not as good nor is the switch... but it has taken 2 weeks of hard abuse at work.

I will be saving the Lenser for hunting as the beam pattern is better, but for work I'll be ordering a couple of spares for my duty belt and one for the kit bag

Blacks had the P7 and P3 for £30 with £5 shipping, its a duel pack and theirs also a 20% off voucher for blacks as well taking it to just £29, for the P7 which is around the £45-50 mark and the P3 at £15 cant go wrong, but their not on any more, did post links when they were though, excellent hunting torch,

i bought a p3 from B.A.R cost me £12.95 all i can say is what a brilliant torch , i take it with me for spotting rabbits that i shot ( doesnt get used that often ) so i dont waste the battery on my tracer .

I was seriously amazed at the power a P3 holds, its smaller than my middle finger.. and on 1 AAA, whats the best batterys to run P7's and P3's?

[Guvnor RBM]

I use Engiszer Lithium

those ones?

[Guvnor RBM]

Thats the ones mate,

If you can find a Wilkinson's store they have them on a 8 for 4 sale, though my local tesco did match the offer, not sure if it's a national thing though.
