What did you buy today

[mudski]

If it is a P7.2 headlamp it must be fake as P7.2 should be handheld and H7.2 is a headlamp.
Sorry for being pedantic.

How much did you pay?

Sorry my bad. A H7.2. Just turned up now. I say if its a fake its a bloody good one. I found a website saying how to spoke the LED lenser fakes but its on the torches, not the headlamp. I paid $60 for it.... I'd love to find out somehow if its fake or not though. None the less. If its fake, its well done.

Anyone here got a H7.2? Would love to compare it with mine...

Didn't BA just get rid of one??

This is the USA Ram Mount brand John. Not the cheap crap that I have wasted money on. Just got that too. Nice piece of gear. Very well made.

I just had a look at my P7 and am happy that it is not fake.
Being a sucker for torches and gadgets, I will probably buy a P7.2 now after reading how much better they are.

there was a thread recently showing what the fakes look like.
I paid $60 for 3 x P7 torches all the real deal

Yep its a fake for sure. The bloody thing turns on by itself, randomly flashes from dull to bright and then just stays on and the only way to turn it off is to remove the batteries.
They have gone to a lot of effort to make this look real though.
I'm quite pissed with myself though as when I was looking for one of these I made sure I was only buying in AU as I am aware of the fakes. I filtered my search to AU only and these fcukers still get through. I sent them a message saying the said issues. Will be interesting to see if they want me to send it back. Which I wont be doing. Then I'll report them to eBay for a violation because of their apparent location they have listed.


I though of taking it down to the local Aussie Disposals store as I know they have them and see if we can compare them. But I kinda feel funny asking them to do so when I won't be buying one from them.

Bugga. Hopefully you get a good out come. State you wanted replacement sent with a self addressed envelope to return the faulty one

[mudski]

I'd rather my money back. Another reason for looking local is warranty reasons.

[BigRAWesty]

Yea fair call. And fair enough to

So why not buy one from them? At least you know it's genuine and can walk in the door if there are any issues.......

Ring Led Lenser, they should be able to tell you how to tell if it is a fake and would probably appreciate the info on the seller.

Depending on the price Drew. Last time I looked they were quite over priced in there. I might go there today and see and if the price is good I will get one. They should have come down by now as there is a new model out.
