The smart-looking Ledlenser i9R is a rechargeable hand torch from Ledlenser for mechanics, craftsmen and engineers - especially those seeking to minimise their carbon footprint. It has a large metal body that holds a CREE Power+ LED Light Chip, which can deliver up to 400 lumens (Power) of precise white light some 260 metres into the distance. Light quality is astounding because it features Ledlenser's patented Advance Focus System to maintain homogenous, consistent light at all times. There is a choice of Power or Low Power light settings, providing everything from high-intensity illumination down to a softer light useful for reading maps or viewing diagrams. A single-handed Speed Focus with Fast Lock prevents the i9R from refocusing by accident, and a roll protection ring helps prevent it from dropping off a work surface. Diamond knurling on the barrel provides safe grip for sweaty or oily hands, while a robust metal body and internal gold-plated battery contacts offer the kind of uncompromising strength that sets the i9 apart as an essential tool for any professional environment. Recharging is simple via the Charging Base supplied which works on a contact charging system with the benefit of not having to remove the batteries from the torch. Simple and efficient.
