Example copy
Official LED Lenser UK distributor The P7 Tactical should be standard equipment on every duty
belt…. This copy was repeated, word for word, on several other sites,
including Tooledup.com, Halfords.co.uk and mptools.co.uk, the sitebox.com and 7 dayshop.com.
Cellpacksolutions.com added: The P7 Tactical should be standard equipment on every duty belt. A favourite
amongst the Police Force and Search & Rescue. With 200 lumens of focusable light and 130 hours of battery life from standard AAA batteries, it will far outshine any other light of its size. A fantastic looking torch, it comes in a gift box including wrist strap and holster. This makes it ideal as a present and highly collectable.
