Not quite...I would say, right up until 2 minutes after you turn it in.
:touche:
Absolutely! I stand corrected!! Lol!

I own the M7RX and its a great light, but I am in the process of mailing it back to Led Lenser a second time for a loose lens.
I still have faith in the company and I am looking forward to purchasing the M17R as soon as it is on the market. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKwQ4ciaUnY
Just received my LL - F1, trying it out as my Tech light for daily work,
I'm using rechargeable Tenergy RCR123A LiPo 3V batteries, these are new batteries and so far I'm impressed with the run time daily usage as a Tech light at work,
The battery is still on its first charge and is showing 3.24V and 100% on my ZTS tester after a week of playing around.
The Low setting I find very useful, it's more than bright enough to do the Job, and can leave some juice in the tank.
Also I noticed the light seems neutral white.
Another nice feature is the clip can be slotted in two places, and fits perfectly on a peak cap.
I do miss the wide angle zoom of my LL P5R which is currently my daily Tech light (also useful as it has the USB charger).
The LL wide zoom is really useful when you need an even spread of light, the hotspot I find a bit glaring.
Price wise the F1 was a little expensive $68, but compared to say the Nitecore EC1 at $86 maybe not, these are local prices, and I would have had to pay shipping on the EC1.
Might post some more info in a few weeks time.
It's there if you ever need it, and it doesn't get into the way of typical usage because it's last in the mode sequence.
New Flashaholic here. I Just received my F1 today. Out of the box it seems to be a quality product and will be durable. I bought this as a back up light.
After reading all information available this seemed like a good purchase. Seems to do what I need it to do. The switch will take a little getting used to.
I do like the reversible clip. Light enough I can clip it on my cap while camping or small outside products. I will update after I get outside at night.
Ooh, that robin24k's review implies that F1 has switch that combines all the good in forward & reverse clickies! Momentary on with half press + mode changes with half press + switch that locks on with full press. :thumbsup: That's how switches should be done!
That's common with LEDlenser tail clicky mode changes and can get very confusing on the M series.
Why confusing?
I am new here, I'm glad to be here
I own a Led Lenser F1 (and a titanium S10 Baton, by the way.
I live in Europe, Hungary. I've tried two different (Conrad and noname) RCR123 battery so far, I think they are 3.0V. The F1 shuts down in a half second, every time I try to use it. With any CR123 (nonrechargable) cell it work flawlessly - but what a waste, not eco friendly, by any means, to dispose all those CR123s..
Anyways, I like this light a lot, the look, the feel, the style
Dirtbasher mentioned, that he uses F1 with rechargable Tenergy LiPo 3V.
Is this true, is it possible to use this light with RCR123? Exactly which one is tested, and proved to work with this light? I would order batteries from the US, if necessary
Thank you for your assistance, and I'm not a native speaker, sorry for my mistakes.
