This lamp has been designed and developed for emergency responders (police, fire, military, emergency services) and not "walk the dog" for the fishing club or.
Thus, the lamp has a very simple operation and fires off immediately with full luminosity. Around questions and turn Long can be deployed and in stressful situations simply do not allow. That everything must go fast and you can not turn yet 28 modes.
The lamp is designed for long duration such as salvage, search etc., and thus to maturity and not necessarily on max. Power light developed in a short time. But there are indeed several other models the very bright people but also just as fast are empty again.
One must therefore be previously clear why you need the lamp.
Will I have a lamp that lights up Long and persistent or do I need a lamp that produces a lot of light for a short period?
What I need really light modes and which accessories do I want to have?
A suitable battery or built-in battery lamp or rather I change my batteries as always myself?
We have to p17R upgraded because this integrated high-performance batteries (LiFeYPo4) used are highly resilient, verkräften extreme temperatures without appreciable loss of performance, non-flammable, non-explosive, non-corrosive and are are fully recharged within 2-2.5h. Charger and car charger included.
Never again switch batteries and must buy more expensive. One must also always lucky because some batches of the same well-known brand manufacturer may differ greatly.
Some batteries are much earlier already empty and the costs to the weeks / months saw real money that you have saved so. The LED is not grilled etc.pp. at various surges
The P17 is not approved for battery operation. Why did I then know by the manufacturer. Most batteries have give not make a much higher voltage over a long period from which alkaline batteries. One runs the risk of overheating the LED, and thus kill. Although I had already in emergency batteries in the lamp and they also work but have respected it not that the lamp was burning unnecessarily long. I think for once just a few minutes of battery power should not be harmful but rather the long-term use and therefore the manufacturer secures course. Otherwise, the lamps would hauf flown under warranty and that costs money properly. Therefore, no official release for batteries. For now there gradually models where the battery is already integrated.
Who the lamp does not like it can get noisy Fernabsatzgesetz return within 14 days to the dealer without giving any reason and has so neat time to test the lamp.
And people who lamp naturally has 24 months full warranty and after this you can contact the manufacturer of the often still is very accommodating towards its customers and it repairs or converts one or other still free. TOP!
Oh, and the lens is made of special high-performance plastic and has special properties to glass.
It is much more scratch-resistant than ordinary glass, through the special injection molding process, the prism that are so broken bluish the light is reflected at the edge and in the middle comes out beautiful white light, blows and falls survives virtually unscathed, unlike glass and is less sensitive to temperature , does not fog up and does not become turbid with time and does not burst.
So if the old coated glass reflectors and lenses is used should rethink something;)
Conclusion:
The P17 is a lamp use and, as such, been finally developed.
It burns for long search operations or walks.
She has no 28 light modes (including) and to go with "Waldi" gassi there are other lamps.
Acceleration time Optimized yet produced enough light to all clearly visible.
The focus system is working fine and is easy to use.
The belt clip allows one to have his hands free while the lamp as searchlights on the belt / trousers radiates.
Very solid, simple, robust and high quality.
Who is not peace or not so clearly comes can send them back easily. Point.
