The magnetic charging system may not be the most convenient, but there is method in the madness: the idea is to eliminate the problem of worn-out or faulty USB ports. Don't forget this is a heavy-duty product, and it is designed to be used in hostile environments where others would probably fail. It's not a perfect solution, but USB ports can and do go wrong for a number of reasons, and it's a small price to pay to avoid the much greater inconvenience of not being able to charge the battery at all.
@@dandyer8351 Correct. This light is IP67 rated - much higher than the IPX4 of most Ledlenser products - and the magnetic charging system certainly helps keep water out of the vital areas.
@@hofferernoke So does my Galaxy 20 Plus. USB ports can indeed be made waterproof, but it does not increase their reliability, which was my original point. In fact, the most frequent mechanical failure on Samsung phones (and, I suspect, many other makes as well) is the USB charging point. Because of the forces applied to them USB ports do wear out over time, and they are less reliable than methods such as magnetic and wireless charging, which put little or no stress on the charging components. Ledlenser uses magnetic charging on a number of models, especially those designed for heavy-duty use. This is a trend seen in other torch brands as well, particularly Olight. Personally, I do not see any real difference between attaching a magnet to a charging point and inserting a USB into a charging port; the only inconvenience is that magnetic charging systems are not universal and you have to use a proprietory cable. In time they may be standardised, but whether this happens or not the benefits do outweigh the disadvantages, and I think magnetic charging is here to stay. Hope that helps.
good day, I have a problem, I have a headlamp for less than a month and it doesn't do anything, after connecting the flashlight with the light, it only flashes 2 times and does not light up, hold the button, it does not work, it does not work even if I disconnect or connect the cable, it always she did the same thing only flashes 2 times and that's the end please advise thanks in advance
Hi, sounds like you have activated the transportation lock. You may refer to this video in deactivated the transportation lock ua-cam.com/video/PY7m8MZopis/v-deo.html
@@LedlenserMalaysia but the lock can't be turned off... after I plug the flashlight into the light, the light flashes 2 times and then I can't turn it off or on for 5 or 8 seconds, it doesn't respond i have H15R CORE TO
@@kikoteam5327 Hi, as you describe, it's due to the light transportation lock is activated. Please press and hold the power button till the light appear 2 quick flash and follow with light up the torch for constant light to release. This steps would help you to unlock the transportation lock function. I hope it does help :)

Necesito saber si es muy pesado e incómodo para llevar durante mucho tiempo en la cabeza. Leí que es muy pesado. Serviría en ambientes explosivos? Vi q tenía un buen iP.
hi , this headlamp is not design to use in explosive environment. for headlamp which able to use under explosive environment, you may take a look our ATEX series headlamp. www.ledlenser.my/headlamps/#atex-series
Stupid magmatic connection, just give me USBC, and a proper 2170 battery..
Fenix hp25r v2.0 has exactly that ;)
Fenix HM71r sweet
I can't listen to that ridiculous robot voice.

Not to mention it improves water proofing

Samsung S22 Ultra has non covered USB C and IP68

How does the usb cable charge a 7.4v battery? Though they were 5v max.
The battery pack has two pieces of 21700, 3.7V battery. Those can be charged with USB charger.
