Led Lenser P14 CREE Quick Focus Tactical Torch 8414

What Doc Says about the amazing Led Lenser P14:

Before I tell you my little story, let me say this. http://www.glowgadgets.co.uk/osc9005/admin/categories.php?cPath=22&pID=159&action=new_product&osCAdminID=60f22bf0851e7be8c3b0bd026b61bb58

Led Lenser torches are really, really good. It's the reason I stopped selling Fenix torches, because there is no comparison (and I'd had enough of being told what to do). Led Lenser kick so much arse it's pointless selling any other torch. (for now at least) and I have Promised myself I am Never going back to a flashlight that uses CR123a batteries!

But why do I not sell ALL of the Led Lenser torches? Because I don't like All of them. I like the ones I have for sale. I'm not into selling stuff I don't like or have gone off. Some people find this hard to understand, so I will explain: I get it, I try it, if I like it I offer it for sale. If I get it, try it and don't like it, I don't offer it for sale.

I ONLY SELL PRODUCTS I USE AND APPROVE OF, FACT!

If I have it for sale, there is a very good reason why.

Anyway...

"On Bonfire night, Guy Fawkes Night we took our girls to an organised event, I decided to take the Led Lenser P14 with me along with a couple of smaller torches for my girls (P5's).

When we finally found parking we learned that we had to walk half a mile, down muddy country lanes to the Farm, where the event was being held.

There was no lighting and it seemed that the Taylors were among a select few who had reasoned to bring their own. Those other folks who had come prepared had brought the usual assortment of plasic torches, the type you'll find free at Gas stations or as a gift for a small child (usually with Dora the Explorer on it or some other cartoon) Not much use in this weather.

I had the P14 on the flood beam, in the rain it held its own illuminating our path, as we has a small band of followers who found our light useful, preventing themselves and their little uns falling into ditches, puddles and cow poo.

The P14 came into its own while stood in the field with a thousand others waiting for the Organisers (sic) to light the Rockets and Roman Candles. They were about a 100 or so yards beyond a fence that we had all gathered around, deep in mud and droppings.

Struggling to see in the dark, wet, windy night, there were maybe two or three of them struggling to start the Firework display. We could only just make out their feeble lights bobbing around in the black void beyond.

Chants of "Why are we waiting" slowly increased in volume.

We had every right to be impatient, we had Paid to stand here after all.

Just so I could shake off the feeling of helplessness, I decided to shine my P14 in high beam to see if they we actually doing anything with the Display or just buggering about.

I was as surprised as everyone else when I fired the light at the 5 men who were struggling to see what they were doing, then as rabbits caught in the headlights, they stood their, stunned. When they realised they could now see what they were doing, they got to work in earnest (I'm sure earnest didn't mind).

The crowd stopped chanting and I felt over two thousand eyes staring at me, burning though my Crag hoppers, as one they gasped in awe. Immediatly I felt like Edward Woodward in "The Wicker Man" Praying I wasn't about to be thrust upon the burning pire to our left, as a demon or warlock.

A hand was thrust into my face, strong fingers dug into my shoulder, a deep voice said "Wow, cool torch"

The men lit their first volly of fireworks, the show had started, I switched off the torch and watched the show.

It was OK I suppose.

In my mind, the P14 was the star of the show, leading us all home safely through the rivers of mud and farm effluence, past the Range Rover Discovery, whos Driver deemed it necessary to shine his headlights at us at full beam, making it had for us all to see, obviously annoyed that all these people were preventing him getting home, via his ill choosen short cut.

I decided to return the favor as I shone back at him, through the windshield, at the Portly, balding gentleman with red cheeks and a hand covering his eyes as he lowered his beam.

As it happens, that got a cheer from my followers and we made it back to our car, cold, wet and very pleased with my new torch.

I do like my Led Lenser P14 :o)"
