I bought this torch to supplement my existing kit (by a different leading brand) as I needed something a bit brighter with more functions. So far so good. I’m pleased with its appearance and sturdy build. It’s got a magnetic charging lead; not quite as convenient as some others (with USB-C, maybe) but I think this makes it more waterproof. The instructions are pretty complicated as you have to push buttons, in various numbers while watching for various numbers of flashing lights. I had to resort to an online video to get the hang of things. In the end changing the functions (up to 8 permutations) while out on the trail proved too difficult so I set back to default (this is easy). The light is very bright and the zoom focus is very impressive. It lights up the whole trail, trees and night sky all around on wide beam allowing you to zoom quickly to pick things out. Also it’s brightness under low setting is very good. Medium gives the best compromise for duration/brightness and there’s a very bright 10s boost for instant illumination. Very good. I’ve not had it long enough to see how long the charge can last, but there are warnings for low power and when charging is urgently needed. I did all the theoretical calcs (lux, lumens, candela, distance, surface area, etc) and all the best brands perform similarly so in the end it’s down to appearance, build and size. I think the P7R-Core meets all my expectations at a good price. The only niggle, as mentioned, is the complicated function selection method. Though this may be overcome, I guess, with more use.
