Suppose that is a Lucas sequence, and suppose that l1, … , lt are primes. We show that the equation

has only finitely many solutions. Moreover, we explain a practical method of solving these equations. For example, if is the Fibonacci sequence, then we solve the equation

under the restrictions: p is prime and m < p.
