I think his current production run is finished though.
I recall he was also developing an 18350 tube for it.
Other than that, the Weltool W3 is also fairly small for a LEP.
This new Lumintop LEP looks intriguing, but I agree that the design clearly isn’t optimized for practicality. It has lots of extra protrusions and mass that simply isn’t needed.
I had the same thoughts initially until i owned THOR II. Believe it or not, I have been using LEP way way more time than my >10Klm class flashlights. LEP really fill in the gaps of what traditional flashlights are lacking in.
More LEP flashlights will be rolling out for the second half of the year, so everyone please stay tuned.
LEPs are amazing! I used to EDC my Acebeam L16 (not ideal for pocket carry but I’m just me…so). Now I can get something the same size with 3x the throw. I don’t think people really understand how insane that is! I’d say LEPs are actually more useful then what people give them credit for. On videos the spot can look super small, but in real life at 200-500m they’re actually useable IMO. Just over 3 years ago you needed the enormous BLF GT to get 2km+ of throw. Now you can have that in the palm of your hand for almost the same price. I’m surprised that there’s not more interest in these things.
Well there’s the bigger THOR II if this is too small for you. The whole point of this light is to be tiny yet still have amazing throw. Some people just like short/small lights and 1.2km is unheard of for this size. For my main EDC I don’t really care about length but rather head width, but I guess some people do.
3.4Mcd in a package this small?!!! Definitely in! Haha.
1170m equals 342kcd, so guessing someone just got excited with the zeros. That’s still damn impressive in a light that small though, so hope the numbers are accurate
