DX have proven as of late to be a shambolic organisation of idiots. The last three transactions I have had with them have been slow, incorrectly priced with the last one being totally lost and all records deleted from my account. Too bad for them my PayPal account is not as piss poor organised or devious as DX twits.

Was looking at getting the h14r.2, pretty decent specs and lenser seem to have a good rep and 5 year warranty

I think the 14.2 r is a alot brighter than the 14.2,Rechargeable batteries dont seem to be a issue as it will run on two common 18650 batteries or AA,s if needed.They are alot larger than the h7.I have found the programable function a bit of a gimmick.There is a setting for storage where it wont accidentally turn itself on.I dont think you can beat the lenser warranty.With the H7 i have never had a issue with warranty and has been replaced with a new one any time there is a small issue.

And its 'boost' mode goes to 850lm compared to the H14.2 which is 350lm. 300m beam from a headlamp sounds mint.

Was tempted to get another cheapie but this will get thrashed at work and can be used hunting/camping so 5 year warranty should do the trick. Just as long as I don't loose it like Cam apparently does every other week.

Yes you are. Seen one in action, more faults than the old one. In fact the owner has gone back to the old one.

Ah well serves me right for being impulsive and impatient. Time will be the telling factor.

I brought the SEO5 Led Lenser
Much better for what I want but time will tell. $92 incl GST from our local wholsaler. No idea what reail price would be

What's it like? Is it really that bright? :o

first thing you notice is the weight.I reckon if you wore this thing for any length of time you would end up with a stoop like Smeagol.
It is indeed bright, but i doubt it comes close to the claimed output. Has a nice wide and bright flood which suits my needs for this particular light. Direct recharging as well.

Worth the money you reckon?

Yep. You can probably find one on Ali express that even comrs with batteries for a very good price. I already have a supply of 1850 s so wasnt bothered.
$35 delivered. Cant go wrong really
