they both developed faults where by they flickered alot and cut between very dim and very bright.
Usually fixed by screwing in the internal spring cover within the rear switch cap.
My two P7 torches, are still working fine 3 years on, one was even pulled out for emergency use on last nights nightride.
EDIT: I ‘ve alway, alway found the multi level (5) ones to be of more use, as the single beam one can be too high for round the house use, and the high/low ones too low on low beam. So a torch with a medium setting is more use IMO, as the high can also heat up the body too much if your ‘just’ walking with it or using it statically & the annoying ‘flashing’ modes can be easily ignored once you know the button cycle.
