For comparison, plenty of torches making three times that output do not reach as far. The explanation is optics, and it is the single most useful thing to understand about why this torch performs the way it does at a weight of 75 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFocus beats output\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeam distance depends on how concentrated the light is at the centre of the beam, not on the total quantity leaving the torch. A high output light with a wide unfocused beam illuminates a large area badly at range. A modest output pushed through a proper focusing lens produces a narrow intense column that carries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Advanced Focus System is what does that here, and Rapid Focus means the adjustment happens in one movement with one hand rather than by twisting a bezel through several turns. Focus Lock then holds it, so the beam you set is the beam you keep for the rest of the task.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeventy five grams\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the battery fitted the whole torch weighs 75 grams and measures 117 millimetres, going to about 123 when focused, with a 26 millimetre head and a 19 millimetre tube. That is genuinely pocket sized rather than pocketable in the marketing sense. It disappears into a jacket, a bag or a glovebox and stays there without ever being in the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight of that order changes the ownership pattern. A 200 gram torch gets carried deliberately. A 75 gram one gets forgotten about until the moment it is needed, which is the behaviour you actually want from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere 420 lumens is enough\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a tendency to treat lumen figures as a score, and it is worth resisting. Four hundred and twenty lumens will light a room, a garden, a path, an engine bay or a loft perfectly well. What higher output buys is not better performance at those tasks but the ability to reach further and cut through more, which is a real requirement for some people and no requirement at all for most. Against a torch of this size and weight, 420 lumens is generous rather than modest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMagnetic charging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Floating Charge System handles power. A wall mounted bracket holds the torch magnetically and charges it while it hangs there, with status indicators on the bracket itself. The internal 14500 Li-ion cell of around 700 mAh reaches full charge in about 2.5 hours, quick enough that a partial top up between tasks is worth bothering with. Gold contacts carry the connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLedlenser C5R Classic flashlight modes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower gives 420 lumens to 240 metres for around 3 hours. Low Power runs 20 lumens to 50 metres for up to 15 hours. A strobe function is available for emergency signalling. The LED runs 6000 to 8000 K with CRI 75 rendering, and the tail cap switch offers momentary activation for short bursts without switching fully on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe momentary switch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA light press on the tail cap produces light only while it is held down. On a torch this small that is more useful than it sounds, because most of what a pocket torch does is brief: finding a keyhole, checking a label, looking under a seat. Momentary handles all of it without an on and off sequence, and it stops the torch being left burning at the bottom of a bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRating\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aluminium alloy housing is rated IP54 against dust and splashing water and drop tested to 1 metre.
