Ledlenser H7R Core Rechargeable Head Torch LED 1000 Lumen, 250m Adjustable Focus, IP68 Waterproof, Up to 65hrs Runtime, Dimmable, Headlamp for Hiking, Camping, Dog Walking, Essential Outdoor Equipment

I work with horses outside, in the dark all through the winter in a northern latitude. My head torch is essential and in constant use two to four hours a day. Head torches (well known brand) with limited light features, terrible battery life (both alkaline and recharge) and questionable durability have made life with my horses difficult and sometimes not that safe. Time to change.The Ledlenser H7R Core head torch was a step up in cost for me. Would the mid range price be worth it? Would the features, battery life and durability be as claimed? Would it do the job? Well it has far exceeded my expectations. This a excellent head torch and worth every penny and more.The low lumens in wide focus is ideal for working in the dark without blinding the horses - and does last 65 hours on a full charge as stated! This is amazing. I have actually had 80 hours. With narrow focus, I can do close up jobs and map read no problem.The high beam in narrow focus is brilliant. I can check my horses from the gate when they are 300 metres away. Yes, it drains the battery. But I only need it for seconds.Both the focus and lumens adjustments are by rotation, not buttons. This is great, works easily when wearing thick winter gloves and allows for fine tuning to suit job in hand. The on/off button is carefully inset and waterproof, but again easily used with gloves on. One press is low, quick following press is high and press again is off.The single solid battery is recharged by magnetic USB in a waterproof sealed unit at the back, perfectly balancing front and back. No more front heavy torches! And charging from flat only takes 45 minutes.The lock system to avoid accidental switch-on in a pocket or rucksack is a bonus and brilliant - once I worked it out. It involves pressing and holding the on/off button.The whole torch is waterproof as it says in the advert. For real! Rain every day over the last two months and dropping it in a horse water trough has field tested to extremes.I recommend this head torch with 5 stars. Do not be put off by the price. This is incredible value for quality, functionality and durability when compared with well known outdoor activity brands for £30-60. As the entry level Ledlenser torch, it inherits many of the amazing features of their professional range at £150+.I now use this torch with the helmet kit when riding my horses on a distance trail over night. Brilliant

This headtorch is a great addition to my other Ledlenser headtorches ,really good and powerful lightfrom spot to floodNice touches includes the ability to dim the light to your taste and how the headtorch can rotate in an up and down motion.Really comfortable to wear, on the head.Really good battery life,including a always on battery indicator when using the headtorch. Great quality, overallAnd of course a excellent7 year warranty when registered online,with Ledlenser,for peace of mindhighly recommend this headtorch, not cheap but a great investment

Perfect headtorch for me! Very bright if you need it but can be gradually dimmed if you want to save battery or you light up something close up and don't want to be blinded. The ability to vary the width of the beam is very useful too. Despite being relatively heavy it does not feel so when worn for an extended period of time. Due to soft and strong bands going not only around but also across your head it sits comfortably and securely. Both bands are adjustable as well. Full water resistance in case you need to use it in the rain or accidentally drop in any body of water. The magnetic charging cable is super easy and convenient, the only downside it is short. A rechargeable battery saves a ton of money and is very eco friendly.

Everything works as described. The brightness quality and focus options are fantastic. The only thing I learnt was to make sure when charging the battery, that the arrow matches up 'exactly' in line with the lock symbol, otherwise it won't charge! Due to the weight of the battery pack at the rear, it could be a bit too heavy wearing for several hours.

This an excellent headtorch with a good long battery life, especially as I use it set to full power.The light can be adjusted from a weak beam to a really bright one and the torch can be moved up and down to angle the beam to convert what you are working on.The only complaint I have, and the reason for only giving four stars is, the annoying charger cable magnetic connector is dreadful.As it is magnetic, it attracts metal filings and as a result becomes impossible to get a good fit to the contacts (even when it's clean, it is difficult as the cable needs to be just so to stay attached).I resorted to using a cheap toothbrush to try and remove the metal filings but that doesn't fully remove all the filings.Please, for a future product update, add a USB-C charging point and remove the magnetic one…

This is my 2nd Led Lenser product and I must say its really good. It's bright, well made and very comfortable to wear. Easy to operate and also waterproof. I definitely recommend Led Lenser for good quality headtorches and hand held torches.

You cannot beat this torch value for money! Its what it says on the tin! only downside is the strange charger point, (I guess this is to keep it waterproof). Otherwise, excellent piece of kit! I cannot degrade my rating due to charging in comparison to others. I think, value for money - this is the best you can get for what you pay. AMAZING luminosity and zoom option - all you need in a head torch in my opinion
