Lasers have speckle and are also monochromatic which makes them very bad for illumination.
This is not just a laser, it is laser phosphor, basically a higher intensity LED with a laser diode instead of a regular blue diode.
It is laser pumped phosphor.
What would be the situation where someone need a >90 CRI laser?
It’s not a CRI90 laser, the laser used here has negative CRI. It’s CRI90 phosphor.
And this item is not a laser. It is a flashlight.
there are Whitelight lasers with continous spectrum using special fibres
Saphire laser with a lot pulse width compression
the pulses are way shorter than a single wavelenght so its also white (but such pulses are extremely hazardous for any eye)
I have absolutely no need for this kind of beam, but would love to see some beamshots.
A lep zoomie is something I would be interested in.
What is the intensity of the 4000k and CRI 90 version? Also what is the color temperature of the CRI 90 version? I’m really looking forward to this. The previous laser lights on the market were measured at less than 200 lumens so this one might actually make it the first practical LEP flashlight and might be my first LEP flashlight. 
Also, any chance the zoomie will use the Oslon HX Boost? It will be the most powerful zoomie in the world.
+1. Must… have… beamshots! (pant, pant)
Here you go…!
Not a real beamshot but I bet it will look something like this…!!! 
So true. 
I think it will look like the BLF GTvn Oslon Black Flat
Correct me if i’m wrong but with a 1.8° beam the spot should be around 3 meters in diametre at 100 meters distance.
Simulated beamshot
There was an actual beamshot posted elsewhere on the forum some guy made his own topic about it.
*W30 6500K Beam Shot *
Uh, so this is what happens today, huh?
It’s that anniversary again of that fateful event?
Also, do you have a beamshot of the 90CRI?
laser or light I confused…
But carry on folkss
Both actually.
A white LED is composed of a blue LED with a layer of phosphor on top. When the blue light hits this phosphor, red and green are emitter, and some of the original blue passes through. These 3 colors then mix to create white light.
A LEP works the same way, except a LEP uses a blue laser diode instead of a blue LED as the light source. The laser, mounted behind the phosphor layer, hits the phosphor, which emits red and green. That mixes with the blue to create white light.
A LEP creates a very small and very intense point of white light on the phosphor layer. This light source is more intense (concentrated) than currently available LEDs. LEP flashlights then collect this light and project it out the front using an aspheric lens in exactly the same way an aspheric lens flashlight works. Because the intensity of a LEP is higher than an LED, you can get more throw out of a LEP flashlight than out of a similar sized LED flashlight.
LEP lights also feature a tiny reflector mounted in the center of the aspheric lens. Any of the original coherent laser beam that isn’t absorbed or diffracted by the phosphor hits this small reflector and is diverted 90 degrees sideways where it is harmlessly absorbed by the side of the bezel.
Result is all of the actual output of the light should be as eye-safe as any LED flashlight. In theory at least.
