Any flashlight that has Led lenser zoom system

See this thread too:

We have a p7.2. I bought it. Debbie wanted it, so I gave it to her. She uses it daily.

It is well made with a good fit and finish. it comes in a nice presentation box. It looks and feels expensive.

The UI is not good. High-low-off. Hold the button down for turbo. No memory.

Debbie likes it.

POP lite copy Led Lenser. I know member Jerommel bought one and was not impressed for the price. I think it should be easy to find an original Led Lenser P7 or something similar for under $50.

yeah, i got a Pop Lite…
The problem it has (besides the antique LED and no driver) is that the head is adjustable just within the middle range, where even Led Lensers project rings…
It’s waiting for me to open the head (which has glued bezel) so i can increase the head travel.

Here’s a cheap clone:

Could be good, could be crap…

Severe Cold? … Pretty original name, haha! :confounded:

Yeah, it’s for when you have too much Uranusfire. :smiley:
O well, as long as you keep your Probe Shiny…

I think i will buy one though.

Hum, didn’t know this one! But I’m with you, I don’t like that design so much… Don’t know about the specs, but the other series seem to be more pleasant to the sight!

Hum, you’re probably right! I didn’t notice those details! But there are things in AliExpress that are not correctly written in the specs. Some lights use different batteries from those written on the specs, other have different LEDs from those advertised…and let’s not talk about the advertised lumens as well :person_facepalming: :smiley:

On this particular light, I read the comments from the different sources and someone said it was not “completely original”, something about the battery compartment. I always thought this would be a “factory” price or something like that, but…maybe my guess was wrong about this one.

If I had to choose a zoomie light, I’d probably get one from the Convoy line (BD04).

If you want a fine zoomie, get the Brynite B158(B).

Brynite has regular aspheris lenses which is cheap but not very efficient solution.

I can’t recommend any LedLenser flashlight, they’re not worth the price and their zoom system is overrated. I had one before and all I can say that beam from a regular reflector (of Fenix’s zoom system) is much more versatile. Flood in LedLensers is very poor, it’s brighter on the edges which messes with your eyes, it’s also blueish in the middle.

While this is true, the thing out throws every reflector light with the same diameter.

What’s Renix’s zoom system?

That’s strange though, because it would just be a matter of how close the LED can get to the central lens in the optic.
The tint shift is normal though.
Every zoomie i have (had) is cooler in the middle / warmer on the outer perimeter when in flood position.
But then again, normal reflector lights also have a lot of tint shift in the output.
If you want to avoid that, you want a proper fixed focus TIR optic.
.
I’m often wondering how long this Led Lenser patent is supposed to last…
I did find 40mm diameter Led Lenser (like) optics though, but i have no use for 400 pieces, so i didn’t order… :smiley:

I already have a zoomies, i want to experience Led lenser zoom system(the only reason for its high price)

37$, hmmm, i am not sure, it looks solid and well made, but, a clone is a clone, who knows about thier quality

If you really want to know the Led Lenser optic, then I think you should get a Led Lenser. A clone may look like a Led Lenser, but the optic/led can be of a different quality, and you’ll never know for sure.

It’s €9.93 from where i’m sitting.

I feel the same way.
But Led Lensers are just way too expensive i.m.h.o.

….aaaand i just ordered one. :slight_smile:
I wonder if it’s any good.

Their “Projectile Diarrhoea” brand didn’t go over so well.

Me too.

Nice. :slight_smile:

Completely disagree with you.
The beam from a regular reflector has both spill and spot, so you either have an annoyingly bright spot in the middle when you’re working close up, or you have a bunch of wasted surrounding light when you’re looking far away, which reduces your night vision.

Fenix’s zoom system is the complete opposite, instead of letting you zoom in and completely remove spill, it only lets you zoom out to produce superwide flood (like 78 degrees or something crazy)
It does not focus into a spot-only tight beam. In it’s “focused” mode is is pretty similar to a normal reflector flashlight with spot+spill.

The spot is only very marginally brighter at the edges of the circle when zoomed out, this doesn’t “mess with your eyes” at all, idk what that even means.
The flood is extremely uniform, way better than any reflector flashlight, and is cool white, not blue. Maybe you had an older model or defective version or something.
