Ledlenser MT14 - Rechargeable LED Torch, Water Resistant (IP54) Super Bright 1000 Lumens, Powerful Searchlight Torch, Dog Walking, Hiking & Camping Equipment, Up to 192 Hours Running Time [Energy Class A++]

Die hard torch forums don’t seem to rate these, but it is absolutely perfect for what I have bought it for. I walk the dog at night and this is brilliant in terms of brightness, battery life, size and build quality. Big plus that it is rechargeable as well. The description of the torch capabilities is a bit misleading as it does imply the torch will run at 1000 lumens for 9 hours. This isn’t the case due to heat. As the LED gets hot, it will regulate the brightness to control temperature. I’m not exactly sure what this looks like in real life yet because the 200 lumen setting on flood is absolutely ample for what I bought the torch for. It generates no heat so far on this setting.It feels really nice in the hand and the 7 year warranty seems like a plus. I see this as an investment on hopefully will have this torch for a very long time!

The Ledlenser MT14 is an extremely well made product with an impressive light output. Its programmable switch is simple and effective to use, as is the flood/spot beam function. I particularly like the compact size of this torch, which at 150mm long (6 inches) sits easily in both the hand and pocket. As well as using the MT14 as a general purpose torch I also use mine for 'light painting' during night photography sessions, for which it is the ideal tool.The only problem I have had to date is with the rubber cap which fits over the USB charging point. Whilst the rubber cap does exactly the job it is intended to do, (keep moisture out), it's all too easy to accidentally pull it off when removing the charging lead from the torch. Re-fitting this cap is a particularly fiddly job!This issue aside I would still recommend the MT14 torch with the caveat 'Be careful/gentle with that little rubber charging point cap'...

I have a number of torches but I find Ledlenser a superior make both in construction, brightness and battery life.i bought this one specifically for battery life and it works very well. Beam range is excellent but close up work on full brightness can be daunting for your eyeballs. If you are going to using the torch for dark enclosed spaces or small rooms you might find a 600 lumens brightness will be better. If you are using the torch mostly outdoors 1000 lumens is more than adequate.These torches are tough. I have three and they have all been dropped, bashed and dunked at various times in their lives. They have scratches, dints and dents but they keep on working.Full marks.

I have a few LED LENSER TORCHES , and this is definitely the best I've used to date , battery life is great and it has an impressive flood to spot beam and also a strobe mode if you need it , build quality is second to none . Price of this torch isn't cheap but well worth it , you wont be disappointed.

Very bright , but wish it stopped on high longer before dimming.

Happy With Item

The build of this thing feels like it'll outlast the universe. Feels solid and reassuring to hold in your hand, and the controls are intuitive enough to get starting with it straight away.The bulb has variable brightness and feels like it has the intensity of a thousand suns. The quick way of being able to drop the intensity is great, and the slip case is a nice value add to the whole thing. I'm gonna have to buy another one of these for the car!

The only torch you will ever need, bright, long range , compact and well made
