I can make it go again.

I have had many many many led lenser headlamps mostly and a few torches too.

Not one has failed.....but I for whatever reason lose them/stolen/left behind on a trip.

Having seen the one of the maxtoch it would be great for deer and far far superior to a led lenser P7-P14......like so much better it is a joke what you pay for a lenser.

When the lensers come out they were a revelation for the old school (me)..... now they are over priced under performing junk.

Anyone want to buy a P14?

I had a P7, but my 10yo lost it at his camp recently, he said it was nicked...
Now I have a P7.2 I put in an airsoft 30mm aimpoint mount on my shotty, and it works a treat, very impressed.
Not used or heard of a Maxtorch before?

And better than new!

I tested one of Gadget man's modified headlights alongside a couple of different led lensers very recently.
Apart from putting out a stronger beam, GMs light revealed more detail at distance, due to the different colour of the light. Very impressed.

Every lenser headlamp Iv had has broken, Lensers are great I kept hearing. The last one I will ever own is an H7.2. First time out of the day pack and its come open and spilled the batteries, and its dark..... couldn't get the cover back on so taped it up, not broken just a shit fit. It put out a nice light but the new batteries where flat after 2 hrs. The next set didn't last much longer and my mates one has stopped working after the second trip. Lenser wont see another dollar of mine.
My original maxtoch ( skyray) is still lighting up the sky after heaps of abuse, as are the 2x and M24.

my F%$ken expensive LED Lenser H14.2 was totally beaten by a "Gadgetman Special"

Ok gadgetman what is your recommendation for a new headlamp

I don't even own a Maxtoch, I prefer to modify cheaper ones to get equal performance, and why mod a torch such as the Maxtoch that doesn't need modding? Anyway, I use torches with the same technology as Maxtoch and I know they are FAR superior to any LED Lenser - biggest difference being cost.
I use this for spotlighting - I can pick up a gravel road at 1250m according to Google earth. Yes, 1.2 km. Best thing is it only cost me about $70NZD after modifications.
I'd like to see a $70 LED Lenser do that...

Plenty of kits around with mains/vehicle chargers and a pair of batteries. Main thing is to get one win an XM-L2 U2. Look closely at the LED and make sure the base is silver and not green.

Yeah I'll have to admit I'm not that happy with my h7.2 the batteries run out far too quick

Get something that uses the rechargeable 18650 batteries as they have a greater energy density. Most of the batteries that come with the kits are a bit average, or slightly below but the rest works well.

Will have to say that my Maxtoch M24 with the Panasonic rechargeable batteries way out does my LED lenser. Better distance and beam and able to pick outa lot more detail as well.
Yep they are a bit hungry on power but well worth the trade off. I have mine mounted on the front left side, on a mount off my Laser (Laser is set for close range for possums in trees), and it balances the 10/22 nicely.
I just extend my finger on my left hand and its on or off and I'm still in a good firing stance with my eye to the scope.
