LED Lenser M14

Failed after a few years of VERY light use – This torch failed. It started to flicker. Batteries were a bit low, so I replaced the batteries. This didn't fix the problem. I have had this torch for about 4 years. About 99%+ of the time this torch sits in the drawer until I need to use it in the back garden, when it is dark out. Less than a half a dozen times a year. It is now useless. … Read more

It shows no signs of damage, you would be hard pressed to find a mark on it. It has never been dropped, although I would expect the LED Lenser to survive normal wear and tear, which this torch hasn't even been put through.

Quality torches but at a price – My M14 - 8314 (400 Lm out to 320m) is very bright with very good build quality.

batteries) but still easy to hold with an exceptional range - the P7 is easier to handle and pocket (my favourite model). Both come with very sturdy belt pouches but the H14 can be removed from the head strap and easily clipped to your belt - very convenient. They all have quick zoom function (the M14 has additional light functions) and all have a burn time of about 50+ hours (on low setting - bright enough for general use) but significantly less if you want to spend all night scaring the local fauna or neighborhood cats. A quality product but at a high price - but worth it.
