LedlenserP5R Rechargeable Flashlight, High Power LED, 420 Lumens, Light for Home, Camping, Tactical, and Emergency Use, Floating Charge System, Advanced Focus System

I bought this for a law enforcement duty backup on the recommendation of a co-worker. I wanted something small, discrete, lightweight, no sharp edges to snag clothes, LED, and easily rechargeable. I fashioned a pocket clip from an old Surefire flashlight I had and can carry this in my front slash hand pocket with ease. I place it on the recharger after every shift so it's fully charged for the next day.It's very bright and the front bezel slides in/out for a broad or narrow beam. Manipulating the rear on/off button can be a tiny bit tricky one-handed if you want to double-click for strobe, or hold in for a dim setting. That said though, it's still a great backup to carry that doesn't take up much space, doesn't have to go into a belt holster, and is very bright for use.The charging dock for it works great on a desktop or in a locker, and can be plugged into a standard 12v charger in a vehicle. A bonus of that is that I can take it on vacation with me and plug it in our popup camper to make sure it stays charged at night.The only complaint I have with it is the wrist lanyard. The part of the lanyard that attaches to the light itself is a very narrow band and mine broke after a couple of months of use. It started to fray and once that began, there was no going back. One day it just gave up the ghost and went in the garbage. That's not a life-ender however.This is a great flashlight, is very very bright, very small, and easy to carry. I'd recommend it.

This is just the very best flashlight I've ever owned. It is so bright that sometimes I have to use the lower setting to use it. The other night I was across the highway, (A four lane highway with a truning lane in the center,) from a lighted car lot. I was showing my friend my little flashlight. I shined the light on the cars across the highway and the lights on the cars reflected my flashlight like their lights were on! My friend said that I'd better quit shining my light across the highway or I'd get in trouble for shining lights on cars going by.Durning the day I can shine it on lighted florescent lights, lighted walls and lamps and I can see the circle of light from my flashlight. It's just so bright it's amazing it is so small and light.The only trouble I've had is learing how to use the on/off switch. It takes practice to get the lower light level and the flashing mode turned on. Once learned it's not a problem to operate at all.Charges easily but I've yet to have the battery go dead. I charge it every two weeks just in case.

This is a great little light. Very sturdy aluminum housing, simple and robust charger. This one is build like a tool, nothing fancy to look at, more like utilitarian. But the light output is fascinating, the light just fits easily into your hand (regular sized hands, big hands might find it too small).The case this light came with is little over the top and overkill in my personal opinion. I carry my light in my pocket or with the included belt carrier, not in a mini suitcase.BTW, the belt carrier is a very simple piece of plastic, but it grips the light very tight and holds it reliably in place. The swivel allows you to aim the light on your belt and work with both hands.I would definitely recommend this light to everybody looking for a strong and small light. If you need a flashlight for personal defense, go for something much bigger.

UPDATE: August 2018. I still have the same flashlight, same battery.The paint is all about gone but the light is still blindingly bright and holds a charge for a long time. At one point the button was getting sticky so I took it apart and cleaned it. It's been fine ever since. Don't let the price tag scare you, this thing is worth every penny.I am an engineer on a drilling rig. I use this flashlight countless times daily. I charge it up weekly and it's only died on me once but I had it on continuously for a long time. Its small enough that it fits perfectly in the pen-pocket on the sleeve of my coveralls. It's bright enough that I can light up the top of the derrick from main deck, or illuminate an entire ballast tank. I've dropped it several times from heights up to 10ft and it hasn't missed a beat. Three other crew members have already ordered them after trying out mine.

This is the flashlight of my dreams:-First perfectly in my tool belt-Rechargeable with a fantastic charging dock-Holds a charge for a loooong time-Very bright to light up a field, or dim enough to work in a small room and not be blinded-Uniform throw and wide range of easy to adjust focus options-Feels durable and well builtHOWEVER, I've actually bought 2 of these. The first one I had worked nicely for about 30 days and I was at a commercial satellite installation running cables and wiring above ceiling tiles and the flashlight started "acting up". It turned off and would only stay on for about 1.5 seconds. It felt warm but not hot, and it should have been charged. I borrowed a different one and finished the job. I was looking at troubleshooting and warranty info because I thought it may have been defective. I go to many random people's homes to install satellite systems and it got "lost" at a customer's house. So I decided to buy another. I've not had it even 30 days and it worked for a while but then two days ago it wouldn't turn on, but I could get it to light up while I had the button pressed in a very precise amount. I was working outside and it was around -5 to -10F, so I figured maybe it was too cold. After working inside for a while I tried it again and it turned on so maybe there's a minimum operating temp?I guess, when it works it's pretty incredible. The pros to this flashlight are so good I want it to have been a fluke.
