Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does LEP technology work?
A: An LEP light uses a blue laser diode (class 1) that points at a phosphor element. This excites the phosphor, converting the blue laser light into a bright white, broad- spectrum light that is then projected through a lens to create a tightly collimated (focused) beam.
Q: What is the main difference between LEP and LED flashlights?
A: The main difference lies in the beam profile and purpose.
LEP lights provide an extremely long-throw, highly concentrated spotlight with little to no "spill" (wide surrounding light), making them ideal for long-range illumination.
LED lights typically offer a more versatile beam with both flood (wide area) and spill, which is better suited for general-purpose use and close-in tasks.
Q: How far can an LEP light reach?
A: High-end models can have a manufacturer-claimed range of over a thousand meters, with some real-world visibility extending very far. The actual visible distance depends on atmospheric conditions (weather, dust) and the target's reflectivity.
Our product uses a class 1 laser to excite the phosphor, key precautions involve never looking directly in the beam, pointing the beam at people, aircraft, vehicles, equipment or reflective surfaces.
