Summary

The focused beam of white light cuts through the darkness, dances across the fields, follows a line of trees, pauses briefly – was there something? LEP flashlights are an experience; their practical use comes second. Exploring your surroundings with a "pencil beam" is simply a lot of fun.

The finger-sized Vastlite Minima Bow is likely the smallest LEP flashlight currently on the market. You won't find a flashlight this small – just 71 × 20 mm – with a range of up to 750 meters anywhere else. It's operated by twisting the head for on and off ("twisty"), allowing you to switch between two brightness levels and a strobe mode.

Ist das in Deutschland legal und frei verkäuflich? 🙂 (Starke Laserpointer und LEPs sind es ja z. B. nur bedingt, wenn ich nicht irre.)

Ja, absolut legal. Vorne kommt kein kohärentes Licht raus, daher keine Beschränkung.

Anfangs, als LEP-Lampen noch neu waren, hatten Hersteller die Laserklasse des intern verbauten Lasers angewendet, was etwas verwirrend war.
