Introduction:
If you’re looking for power across all applications, this is the torch for you. This large multi-LED hand torch produces such a cannon of light that even some car headlights seem dim by comparison.

When Steve Backshall of Discovery Channel fame saw that we stocked the X21.2, he quite simply had to have one. In Steve's own words, "I notice that The Safari Store stock the Ledlenser X21.2. This would be a very welcome addition to my filming kit - we do loads of night spotlight filming that this would really help with." We agree with Steve. This torch may be summed up in one word: 'extraordinary'!

The X21 Ledlenser weights only 1.40kg, yet serves up over 500 meters of extremely bright light. If you are after the ultimate torch for just about any task, including safaris, then look no further.

This masterpiece is another milestone in the history of Ledlenser. The Ledlenser X21.2 will cause a sensation because it allows for a whole range of new applications in light engineering. The lamp has a light output of up to 1500 lumens. Thanks to the Advanced Focus System, the light cone can be adjusted dynamically. 

You must have held this lamp in your hand to be able to really appreciate it. The Ledlenser X21.2 offers a broad, circular low beam, as well as a sharply-focused searchlight beam. Seven ultra-bright high-performance chips and seven terminator lenses produce a quality of light that you have never experienced before - a blazing beam. This lamp’s lighting range is already legendary and its impressive appearance radiates power and authority.

Technical specifications for this torch: 
The X21.2 is a part of the High-Performance Line from Ledlenser, which combines innovations unprecedented in the history of flashlights. The reflector-lens of the Advanced Focus System, the Speed Focus, their Dynamic Switch concept, and the incredible luminous intensity of their chips are but a few of the novelties that will revolutionise the world of flashlights and torches.

Range vs lumens: When buying torches, please do not only look at the lumens advertised, but also the range of the torch. Where Ledlenser is so impressive is that their torches are highly efficient at transforming battery power into light, which means that the range on a Ledlenser torch will often be much greater than the range on another make of LED torch, even when the other LED torch produces more lumens.

Torch etiquette on safari: Please note that one should never shine a torch into the eyes of diurnal animals, including elephants. This may result in them becoming dazed, leaving them vulnerable to predators.

Packing notes for torches from our experts:
• Packing a high-quality torch is essential on all safaris. This is important for your safety at night.
• Not only will a high-quality torch, such as the range we stock from Ledlenser, ensure that you avoid stepping on any reptiles, arachnids, or insects at night when walking back to your room or tent, but you are also able to spot and avoid wildlife which may have wandered into the camp area in the evenings, as most camps are unfenced.
• Spotting wildlife is also good fun at night. Please ensure that you do so from a safe vantage point such as from the lodge or from the comfort of your room or tent. Your guide and lodge staff should be able to assist you in finding the safest position from which to view the animal.
• For guidelines on which animals you should not shine on at night and for other useful torch usage information, please see the section on this page called "Torch etiquette".

General notes from our experts:
• Our expert, honest advice has the sole intention of increasing your enjoyment and safety whilst on safari and comes from years of experience on all types of safaris and adventures in Africa.
• Natural behaviour: For all the activities you enjoy on your safari, please remember that the ultimate safari involves seeing natural behaviour from the animals you have travelled so far to spend time with. What we mean by this is that you and your guide should not confront any animal while on safari, but rather stay a safe distance away from the animal so that they continue with their habits as if you were not there. The holy grail of safaris is to use the wind, sun, and your guide's skills to try view the animal without it ever becoming aware of your presence. Watching an intimate moment between an elephant cow and calf beats an elephant charging you when you venture too close and she feels threatened. Please bear this in mind when viewing animals during the day and at night - no matter how great or small. Wildlife observations in an open, natural habitat are a privilege and leaving animals as undisturbed as possible by our encounters is what we should all strive to achieve.
