You know what lower modes do?
They reduce the throw, and they also reduce the brightness of the spill.
They don’t let you get only throw, or only spill.
With a Led Lenser you can run on max for hours with max throw or max brightness spill, without having half of your light being wasted for something you don’t need (like spill, when youre using it for throw, or a bright spot, when youre using it for close up work).
Hey guys, i received the ‘Severe Cold’ about a week or two ago.
It’s quite nice for the $11 it costs.They claim it has a XM-L2, but it’s an XP-G2.
The driver is 20mm diameter and has next mode memory.
For the rest, it zooms well from a wide flood to a reasonably tight spot (unlike my $25 Pop Lite :rage: ).
The light is not glued (like my $25 Pop Lite :rage: ).
The pilar on the pill is a little thin, so i’m replacing it with a wider copper pilar, which is a bit of work…
Not yet sure what LED to put in, not yet sure about the choice of driver either.
Probably a 219C 4000K or 5000K on a good ol’ Nanjg 105 with 6x 7135.
Thanks for testing Jerommel.
Earlier today the light was shown as discontinued, but apparently it’s back in stock.
I suggest not to hesitate. Myself I snapped one.
Yeah, and the fit and finish is nice too.
It’s just the driver that makes the stock light a little so so…
Fort the rest, the XP-G2 works quite well with this light.
Yeah, coincidentally I was browsing their site (horrible navigation), and they went back to calling for example the P7.2 just P7 again. Lux value is probably about the same, or even less perhaps compared to the original P7 with tighter hot spot.
Yeah it’s confusing.
The 7.2 is still on the US site: Led Lenser P7 | Shop Ledlenser P7 Flashlight | Ledlenser USA
Less lumens though.
The original P7 didn’t have the red in the head though, so that one you linked must be an updated one or something.
Right. The one on my link should be the latest version, as mentioned by stephenk. This one evolved from the P7.2, which also has/had red accents. And the P7.2 evolved from the original all black P7, which was from the pre Leatherman era.
This time I can’t find anything except for the picture, it’s clerly from some sale listing but I fail to find a sale page.
I found some other Bailong lights here:
