I’d rather see a recoil style lep or a multi-emitter design. Think about a triple or quad with ~25-30mm heads. 1200lumens and 1.5Mcd

14500 lep fantastic!!! Clip Good!〇 TOOL-AA Clip 
;
A deep pocket version of Tool AA will be nice. Do you guys feel that clip design is too slim?
Yes please!
The Tool AA’s clip is both too slim and not deep-carry enough.
It would be better to have a clip that is both wider and deep carry.
Personally, I consider the stock Tool AA clip to be almost unusable as a clip. It’s just an anti-roll device.
This!!!
Oh, and please make this light without strobes on the main cycle, too 
If the price and UI for the 14500 is right, I’ll be in for it :innocent:
Any chance of making a zoomie version of that 14500 light?
A small 14500 size light is ideal for pocket EDC. But that said, many people prefer to only have to carry one EDC around. A LEP without zoom is worthless for this purpose since it can’t be used for anything up close.
- LEPs are optimized for maximum throw. A LEP zoomie in flood mode obviously wouldn’t be great for close up use. It might be only 200 lumens or so of cool white low-CRI light.
- But even if the output in flood looks a lot like a 10-year-old Sipik 68, it is still be far better than nothing.
- It shouldn’t be too hard to redesign the head of that LEP light to make it into a zoomie. External styling can be kept the same and the same lens can be used. All that’s needed is to make the bezel holding the lens slide back and forth. The parts needed would be (1) redesigned head and bezel, and (2) bezel and lens retaining rings. The same general mechanics as used for typical cheap zoomies would work fine.
From the user perspective, the only thing lost would be some water resistance (and maybe not even that if they use double o-rings and and a threaded rather than sliding bezel).
A true zoomie LEP light does not exist, especially in pocket EDC size. Lumintop could probably charge a premium to be the first.
NOTES:
- Making a zoomie LEP would be a lot easier if the LEP used is of the type where the laser is mounted behind the phosphor and there is no mirror glued to the lens. The lens would have the clearance to retract close to the phosphor for wider flood.
- A zoomie LEP using the older style where the laser shines forward into a mirror mounted on the lens and then reflects back into a phosphor mounted next to the lens is less practical since the mirror might preclude getting a really wide beam. It’s also less safe if the user is able to remove the bezel and have an exposed high-output laser shining forward.
Here’s a slightly zoomie LEP
LEP zoomie
I may get one, though it doesn’t tick the budget box. I would like a 14500 LEP zoomie as well. If Lumintop makes one I’m sure it will be fine eventually. My experience so far is that not all LEP’s are rock solid out of the gate.
I’m not so much into throwers but I’ve always been curious about lep and a 14500 version looks small enough to pique my interest.
Love that 14500 LEP light, it is also my type of styling

Freeme, does the 14500 LEP flashlight have a glass lens or a plastic lens?
If it is plastic (I expect that) then it needs a glass protection lens in front of it. Being EDC-sized, this light will likely sit in pockets so that lens will surely damage like that and over time the throw will be ruined.
I have two LEP lights and one of them (“Neal’s” LEP light) has a (nicely AR-coated) protective glass lens before the plastic projection lens so I can toss it wherever I want, the other (4Tool L10) has no protection before its plastic lens so I need to handle it with care and I made a cap for it, this is annoying and in my opinion a design failure.
Most probably.
Interested in the 14500 LEP. USB-C charge would be nice.
I am quite sure there won't be any built-in charging function.
I wonder if it’s possible to build it zoomable.
That and the size will make it irresistible for all flashaholics.
