Ledlenser’s New P-Series Raises the Bar for Torches

The handheld LED torch has been at the heart of Ledlenser’s story for 25 years. Now, the company’s most iconic range, the P-Series, enters its fourth generation – and it’s not just a small step forward. This is a redesign that brings more light, more control, and more responsibility to the hands of people who rely on portable lighting every day.
From heavy-duty construction work to late-night hiking or emergency roadside repairs, the new P-Series is built to deliver exceptional performance in real-world situations. And for the first time, every aluminium housing is made from at least 75% recycled material, setting a new benchmark for sustainability in the portable lighting industry.
Why the P-Series Matters
When Ledlenser first introduced the P-Series, it quickly became a favourite among professionals, hobbyists, and everyday users who wanted reliable, high-performance light in a simple, durable package. The new generation keeps that promise – but takes it further with smarter ergonomics, faster controls, and the most sustainable build yet.
“With the new P-Series, we’re honouring our roots while making the products significantly easier to use and more environmentally friendly,” says Peter Bahner, Product Manager at Ledlenser.
“Our main goal was to create torches that are not only more intuitive but also more sustainable.”
The 16 models in the lineup range from tiny keyring lights that slip into a pocket to professional-grade searchlights designed for vast spaces. Every one features Ledlenser’s Advanced Focus System – allowing a seamless shift from a wide floodlight to a sharp spotlight.
Hero Models: P7R & P21R
P7R – The Icon, Reimagined
The P7R is an evolution of one of Ledlenser’s most popular models, now brighter, tougher, and easier to handle. The standout feature is the new Mode Select Ring, which makes it simple to change light modes, lock the torch for transport, or access the USB-C charging port – all without fumbling in the dark. Gloves? No problem.
The Mode Select Ring also appears in the P7R Pro, P18R, P21R, and the Signature range, bringing the same effortless control to the most advanced models.
P21R – Built for Extreme Conditions
When your job takes you into tunnels, warehouses, or large construction sites, light becomes more than a convenience – it’s a necessity. The P21R answers that need with massive brightness and reach.
It’s equipped with One Touch Focus, letting you switch from a wide beam to a focused spot with a single thumb movement. There’s no stopping your work, no shifting your grip, and no second hand needed. It’s a design made for people who don’t have time to fuss with their tools.
Sustainability Without Compromise
Ledlenser’s new P-Series is its most sustainable torch range ever. By moving to 75% recycled aluminium for every housing, the company has made a dramatic cut in its environmental impact:
- Energy use reduced by up to 95%
- CO₂ emissions lowered by around 96.4% per ton of aluminium produced
This shift reduces the need for raw material extraction and preserves natural resources – without affecting the legendary toughness and quality Ledlenser users expect.
Even the packaging has been rethought: 100% recyclable cardboard, designed to take up less space during shipping, which means lower transport emissions too.

Why This Generation Stands Out
The fourth-generation P-Series isn’t just about upgrading the light output – it’s about making torches that fit seamlessly into how people actually work and live.
Whether you’re clipping a P3 to your keychain, keeping a P7R in your glove compartment, or relying on a P21R for industrial work, each torch is designed with the same level of precision, durability, and thoughtful engineering.
And with Ledlenser’s seven-year warranty (with registration), buyers can invest with confidence.
