Torches have come a long way from the first LED bulb I put in to my Mini Maglight which took 2 AA batteries. AFS means whether you’re reading a map up close or focusing down the path to a landmark in the distance, your light will be easy on the eyes, clear and bright.

This is indicated by the serial number on your torch, pre-November 2017 models will start before 1711, 17 denotes the year and 11 denotes the month.and you could moan about the really thin wrist strap and the button modes but this is such a lovely and well made torch with fantastic light output you can be nothing but pleased with it. The Advanced Focus System, unique to Led Lenser, uses a pull push action which changes the torch from spot to flood with just one hand, making it easy when you are on the go. This design allow for minimal loss of light when in zoom/throw compared to aspheric lenses where around half of the output can be lost when at full zoom/throw. In case the lamp is equipped with coloured LEDs, the measured values are given with white light or the white LED. The flood is perfectly even and ideal for short range, while at full zoom the range is quite impressive.

Even in broad daylight the beam looks bright and consistent (Please, see Pictures 2, 8 and 9 below). BUT it seems in the rest of the world this lamp is either not available or extremely expensive… maybe it was released in Europe only? This everyday flashlight is a powerful performer considering its brightness, beam distance and run time. It is also a good option for those who do not want to use li-ion batteries (which is most of the consumer market). As for the 18650, yes, you CAN replace the included 2200 mAh, but the maximum length is 69 mm, that means a protected Soshine 3400 is fitting perfectly.In addition the lens has also been precisely re-configured to shine bright over a significantly increased lighting diameter further improving performance. There are pros and cons to both designs (simple circuitry and less power use without regulation vs always having a full brightness for a longer duration) but I don't think this is going to cause a problem in my use. I bought the P7R when it came out in 2015 and paid 100 Euros, right now here in Europe/Germany it´s down to around 60-70 Euros which is great for the full package (included 18650 and magnetic charger, holster). The patented advanced focus system0 combines lens and reflector to deliver a powerful and homogenous flood beam. UPDATED AND READY TO WORK This everyday flashlight is a powerful performer considering its brightness, beam distance and run time.
