Best Led Lenser Medium Price Flashlight

[LL]

Hi I am planning on getting a Led Lenser M7, MT7 or M14. Which of these have water resistance and which do you think is the best???

[LL]

I think the MT7 and M7 isn't water resistant... Or is it??

[nuphoria]

Not a Lenser fan myself... plenty of other great brands out there to choose from.

Any reason you want one of these specifically?

[LL]

Yeah... Its because they only sell lenser products here in korea... Anyway, which do you think is the best??

[nuphoria]

Like I said, I don't! Haven't got any and don't want one

Can you not buy a number of other things online?

[enki_ck]

Personally I wouldn't go for any of those. 4xAA for cca 200lumens? There are single AA flashlights that can do 200 lumens at less than that price. You can buy most flashlights online directly from manufacturers and/or eBay stores with free worldwide shipping. Even if you don't have paypal, many stores take credit cards.

What features would you like to have on your flashlight? Do you prefer floody beams of more throw (light a bigger area or more distance)? More powerful light or longer runtimes?

I just got a led lenser M1 and I've been very happy with it.

I have a Lenser headlamp and an AAA light, and quite frankly I would never buy another. I find them expensive, uninspiring and clumsy, and I'd rather buy off-brand cheapos from a supermarket if I couldn't find another brand locally. They sell predominantly on the gimmick factor of the focussing beam from what I can tell, and have a distinct lack of any genuinely redeeming features IMHO

Led Lensers aren't very popular here as you can see ... 

I have a Led Lenser P7 and three Led Lensers P3's (one for me and one for each of my boys) and I like them all very much.

The focussing beam on the small ones (the P3's) is useless, but on the P7 it's great in my opinion.

Hmm i see.  I might as well as get a surefire

Well I won't argue with that one. I own 4 surefires and none of them have failed me.

Hmm i see.  I might as well as get a surefire

you might as well.
I've never owned one.

good luck with it.

if you got the money go for it

[Top-Gear-24]

Don't know about Korea, but over here, a Surefire costs about twice the amount of its Led Lenser counterpart.

And none of my 4 Led Lensers have failed me either .

LED Lenser products don't get much love in this forum, but for a light at their price point they are very good.   I have five different models and all of them are sufficient tools.  Notice that I didn't use words like "great" or "fine" or "best" to describe them.  When you pay a lower price for an item you should expect some compromises. 

If you buy a Surefre you will get a superior product, but that shouldn't surprise you.  They cost twice as much as an LED Lenser.

I can't help you with any advice on any of the models that you asked about because I don't own any of them.  I can tell you that LED Lenser's warranty department is great.  It is actually run out of Leatherman's warranty department.  I've made use of it once and received a replacement light eight days after I shipped the old one in.

I like led lensers (at least the 2x p3's and head lamp, I have !) i'm not a flashlight freak and these cover all my needs. they chuck a fair amount of light and the batteries last for ages  (AAA's are easy to find + cheep)
but if my history on MT.O has taught me anything, i'll probably have to try something else that others rant about sooner or later
