Ledlenser MT18 Outdoor torch LED, rechargeable battery, 3000 lumens, focusable, long distance beam 540m, runtime up to 96h, front switch, single hand use

Completely outshines all the head torches I own and I use for hiking. The unit isn’t that heavy and fits in my smallish backpack ok. The battery still good after 3 hours on full power, so perfect for the job at hand. Time and time again I have to assist climbers without adequate equipment and this torch certainly does impress!

It's a great size and looks like a very high quality product. Apparently the beam can be focused - just by pulling the torch head away from the torch! I tried this with mine, but a combination of cold hands and other torches to test meant I didn't actually check it (unfortunately!). This would be a better model if it had a small case, and a shoulder strap.I'm an ecologist and was looking to use it for torching ponds; alternatives without resorting to Clulites include the larger X21R.2 and the Fenix TK75, both of which have straps. I've chosen the Fenix because it's the same size as this model but has the capacity to focus and has a compact case and a good shoulder strap.Where this excels ahead of the Fenix is that it's an all in one product - the battery can be replaced, but it doesn't need to be removed to be charged. I'd also say the light quality is diffused slightly more evenly, whereas the Fenix has white spots which make it less effective on close surfaces. Also apparently the focus!

f you want to turn night into day then this might just be the thing.3000 lumens, what ever lumens are, let's just call it bright and whatever you do don't look into the torch when it's on. It is like looking into the sun and you will be blinded for around an hour afterwards.Made of quality grade aluminium it is shorter than many torches, but with three extreme LED's the beam projects for around 500m, it is also fairly hefty. It has three light settings, the maximum of which should give you around 5 hrs of use. Charging time is around 8 hrs. It has an on/off button that also operates the light settings. The button also shows a charging light and tells you if the torch will need a recharge. Stand it on end and the flat base will give you and uplighter. Finally you can adjust the beam from spot to wide angle but this cannot be locked.It has a charger and a separate USB charging lead, the lead is plugged into the side of the torch at 90 degrees to the on/off button. There is a rubber cover over the charging point. Surprisingly the torch came with an EU two pin lead which is detachable from the mains charger just like most two pin electrical equipment leads. No three pin cable was supplied so I expect this was a EU supplied product, that or they deliberately left out the 3 pin plug because of Brexit.There are pretty much no downsides to this torch, shine it into the sky and you’d think it was a searchlight. One point to mention is that the torch itself can be a bit slippery to hold as the case is smooth aluminium. It is also cold to the touch and in winter you’d probably want to wear a pair of gloves. The light can give off a bit of heat though. I have wrapped the torch in grip tape to make it easier to hold.All in all this is an excellent torch, and it was a great price here on Amazon compared to the Lenser website. It was a steal. Too good to be true? Not this time, unfortunately for any new buyers it has just got expensive again.If you are looking for an industrial capacity torch I’d recommend this. If you are looking for something a little more pocketable then go for the Lenser P7R. That’s my other torch.

This torch arrived very promptly, ahead of time. It is beautifully made and engineered. It is very bright indeed. The Advanced Focus System works v well and you don't get the hole in the middle effect that occurs with reflector focussing. For the light output the size is modest and it is easy to carry, though it would not fit in a pocket.The only slight negative is that the version shipped by Amazon comes with a continental 2 pin plug on the charger lead, rather than a 13 amp plug which is provided by other suppliers. It is simple to swap this lead for a IEC C7 to 13 amp, I had a spare.

This is an absolutely amazing light source. The LEDs give a natural brightness, without the usual 'yellow' colour of a torch. I live in the countryside and this can illuminate , for example, the upper part of a tree that is 100 metres away to daylight levels. It has a pull/ push feature at the head of the torch to turn it from narrow beam ( not so 'narrow') to floodlight, and I do mean floodlight! I have never seen a portable light source as capable as this and my damned dogs will never escape again on dark winter nights! Completely amazed by it and would highly recommend!!

Didn’t think this listing was legit initially as it was nearly £100 less than the RRP and cheaper than any other website however it arrived, it’s genuine and I’m very pleased. Very powerful torch, few design issues which could be better such as having a textured grip and quicker means of accessing the strobe mode but it’s a very bright, well made and solid torch.

This heats up the wall and the reflection alone will blind you. Haven't subjected to any serious use yet so no comment on durability or battery life. Seems extremely well made.

I was concerned this might be either an imperfect model or a fake because the price is so good BUT it is perfect brand new of current model and is 100% genuine LEDLENSER product. Brilliant torch - pardon the pun.
