How you want a torch to be - with a few not-so-great little details
I am very satisfied so far (1 week including camping and long nights). This is how I imagine a torch in terms of luminosity, focus adjustment, weight and handiness.
Only the fact that the switch is at the back is a bit annoying. But that seems to be the case with all LED Lenser torches of this size.
Unlike many of the other reviewers, I like the fact that the lamp is charged via USB. (And the fact that it doesn't come with a USB power supply doesn't bother me, I already have dozens of them anyway. There's less electronic waste that way). I can also charge it easily in the car or on a power pack via USB. What bothers me more is that there is no additional charging cable to buy.
Pro
- Very bright
- 3 brightness levels
- Focus lockable
- Charging via USB (i.e. also in the car)
- Charging contact only secured by magnet → can be quickly removed from the holder
- Still quite handy despite the size
- Hand strap (and belt holder, but I don't need it) included
- Uniform illumination at widest focus setting
Contra
- Rear switch → Not really operable with one hand, unless you hold the lamp overhead.
- Charging port rather clunky
- No additional charging cable (e.g. for on the road) available.
- Push-button function not suitable for Morse code, as even a flashing light changes the brightness level.
