LED Lenser launches upgraded range of torches Leading torch company unveils new advancements to already successful series

LED Lenser, a worldwide leader of LED light manufacturing, has announced exciting new upgrades to their already successful product range.

Lighting innovators LED Lenser has redesigned popular models of their original torches, so that as well as feeling lighter they shine further and brighter than ever before. Included in the range is what fast becoming known as the ‘Sherlock Holmes Torch’, the stylish P7.2 used by Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch as they try to save the Houses of Parliament in the first episode of Series 3, ‘The Empty Hearse’.

For over 20 years LED Lenser has been at the forefront of new technologies in handheld torches and headlamps, with over 200 patents and awards for design and engineering. With the new upgrades they hope to redefine performance, engineering excellence and design.

Paresh Ruparelia, UK Marketing Manager at LED Lenser, explains: “Our torches are used in a number of critical situations, from police to mountain rescue teams, so it’s crucial that they are of the highest standard and never let our customers down. For this reason we’ve launched our new upgraded range. From the inside out every aspect of our torches have been carefully redesigned, to deliver an outstanding level of performance that sets them apart from the crowd.”

The new changes to the range include the very latest CREE® LED Chip known for low heat generation and a longer lifespan, as well as an increased diameter of the reflector lens for a greater and more equally lit area - giving you a larger and clearer field of vision than ever before. In addition to this upgraded technology and functionality LED Lenser has also improved the award winning sleek design of their torches, with an enlarged on/off switch and a new coating to improve grip.

Cyclists, runners and wearers of the headlamp have similarly benefitted from the upgrades, which have been significantly re-engineered to provide you superior comfort, better light distribution and improved performance. The rechargeable section improvements include a rear red light, low battery message system and battery level indicator, notifying you when you need to recharge.
