The lamp comes in a black "gift" and therefore constitutes p17R, clip for example to the belt, power supply with charging cable, charging magnetic head, wall / car / transport bracket, operating instructions and a little self-promotion.
First you need to turn on the head and the tail and 2 plastic flakes which lie loosely on the battery terminals exit which serve as an insulator and after assembling the lamp blinks two times and is ready for operation. The p17R is fully charged and can be used immediately.
Anyone familiar with the P17 comes immediately with the p17R clear because of the ease of use has nichs changed.
Immediately notice the good and clean processing.
To recognize no corners, edges, noses, sluggishness, scratches or marks, no squeak or wobble / rustling parts. TOP!
In the price range that is to be expected.
The LED (XP-G2) allows the lamp securely pleasant and clearly seem, he actually as promised by the 10h at the highest level (400 lumens) and then goes out eventually because it is unregulated.
In low mode (power saving) can be good almost 2 days at a time until you burn the lamp at about "candlelight" has arrived.
Through the ingenious LiFePo4 Battery (Lithium Iron Phosphate) is the lamp in nearly 2 - 2.5 hours again top fit again and ready for action.
The battery is integrated into the "handle / stem" and who wants to have a spare battery must be this "handle Battery" ordered separately from the manufacturer.
Who has not charged its battery has run out or unfortunately can not use normal batteries or monocells and times change quickly in the forest because the rechargeable battery in the handle is integrated and must be recharged. For people who sometimes just want to spend several weeks in the forest or in the mountains without power the p17R is therefore not recommended.
The battery lasts as I said at full power good 10 hours and almost 2 days until he has connected to the grid in low mode.
The lamp is continuously focusable and easy to operate with one hand and radiates focused (STRAW) really very far and in the medium-sized cone of light is far away clearly visible.
The floodlight is also more than adequately bright and wide. One can see everything very well as during the day. Strobe (defense / Blend mode) works perfectly.
The lamps (batteries) to keep in an emergency from very very low temperatures as well as very high temperatures, but if it can be largely avoided, is please refrain.
It shortens the shelf life of unnecessarily expensive lamp or the battery. For our temperature ranges in Germany but according to the manufacturer no problem.
OK, did the test and the lamp down a whole day in the freezer (-20 ° C) and lo and behold it worked right away and the battery level was as before. TOP !!!
Now the oven test at 40 ° C and also bake for several hours in it. Nothing happens and thus the lamp is for me absolutely Outdoor-ready and leaves a dark winter just in eg not abandon or at high temperatures in the summer in a motor vehicle. TOP !!!
The only thing you should not do in these batteries is deep discharge or full charge and then store a long time. This is also the lifetime of the batteries detrimental.
To what extent has the manufacturer prevented here by protection circuits or the same I can not say but I just wanted to have mentioned it.
The batteries are currently still quite expensive as it is a new technology that has not yet become a mass product.
The p17R is absolutely good in the hand and is well balanced. The gerippelte surface gives good grip and prevents slipping. Even when wearing thick gloves is the p17R still good to use and the pressure switch has been "adjusted" to the P17 much stronger, thus preventing inadvertent activation and unintentional dazzle of humans and animals.
Falling from 1m height on asphalt to the lamp without problems survive and the quality aluminum lamp (used in aircraft) to be very resilient.
Did the lamp not thrown that does not have to be but I think the manufacturer's instructions here once blind because the lamp was designed for extreme situations (police, fire brigade, THW, military, etc.).
Since the lamp is very long with good Leutkraft I have instead of the more expensive the M17R p17R chosen because they last twice as long full power lights as opposed to the M17R which is 4.5 - 5 Stunden then closing with Full Power. The operation of the M17R is chosen better for my taste and has several modes selectable via magnetic ring (just turn and the mode is set and can be switched if required by pressing a key).
BUT, I wanted a lamp that burns long with very good luminosity. Since the M17R by half the time with its 850 lumens is already empty, but I am for 10 hours on 400 lumens decided burning p17R and have to say it was not a mistake.
Who does not need as much brightness for a short time, and the other modes do not need anyway, can save the money and confidently take up the p17R and will receive a 10 hours of Full Power.
In the different modes where you just operates the lamp, you can let the term by the 360 ° arranged blue light LED display the approximate remaining time short by briefly pressing the button on the bottom. There are arranged in the ring 10 and blue LED (360 °).
eg in Full Power mode every flashing blue light was 1 hour and the low-power LED each about 4-4.5h maturity.
When switched off, and pressing the button, the battery status is displayed.
For each blue LED represents 10% battery capacity.
A car charger (accessories 0368) is also available here on Amazon: PSC = 1
While on the packaging is only X21R but this charger is also officially approved for p17R and other lamps of Two Brothers / Led Lenser and works 1a.
The clip of the very good to pants or belt guarantee holds a relatively good grip and prevents the falling out of the lamp.
Nevertheless I would like to see a Gummirung on the clip and not 100% plastic (Although good plastic but still) make them more twisting and slipping against protected.
Eventually, the plastic is fragile or worn down to the Aluriffeln and then keeps them well possible not so good. Let's see.
The charging station and the charging technology (magnetic head) is self-explanatory and is functioning properly.
Since the p17R uses a built-in battery of the latest technology, you can recharge the part a few thousand times, thus saving a lot of money.
Inserting and drag along every time and constantly new batteries and then usually promised more as kept (longlife, ultra power, etc.) and all the stress DIN / ISO, volts, mA / h is omitted herewith and the lamp will keep definitely longer than ever before , The ultra-modern and high-quality batteries are perfectly matched to the lamp and has full manufacturer's warranty and it is not grilling the LED with any China batteries oä ..
At low temperatures, they give up the ghost, and at very high temperatures they run out or burst. Great.
not any longer longer;)
With 750 grams of this lamp is a lightweight in the performance category with battery and is not too long and you therefore she gets well stowed.
Please keep out of reach of children by the enormous brightness and focusing the beam. This is not a toy and can cause retinal damage and the strobe mode nausea / dizziness and vomiting associated with glare in close range !!!!!!!
I do not regret a penny for this lamp that will last hopefully looong and I never let you down.
No I am not an employee or member or paid worker but only a very satisfied customer who wants to leave you with a recession which is better than:
"Alles super, lamp goes, is bright and OK for me";)
We are talking here not so nem 10 Euro lights ausm discounters.

ATTENTION !!!: There are Chinese fakes (plagiarism) go. The lamps are mostly offered deutlichst cheaper, also partly adjusted the price slightly or simply classified as needed.
These parts are totally scrap and dangerous!
Who as a part for expensive money caught necessarily the manufacturer report, sending the part, specify source (with invoice etc.pp.) and obtained an original by the manufacturer.
That's what happened with a friend of mine who said to have made a supposed bargain what turned out to be the Far East scrap.
