About this product
An LEP light is not a bright LED. It uses a laser to excite a phosphor, which produces an extremely small, extremely intense emitting surface, and that is what allows a 67 mm head to throw 2,900 metres at over two million candela. Nothing based on an LED comes close at this size.
The trade with LEP is that the beam is almost all spot and no spill, which makes a pure LEP light awkward to use nearby. The P40 solves that by adding five floodlight LEDs around the central lens, and an Adaptive Cruise Mode that changes brightness according to the angle the light is held at: pointed down at your feet it eases off, pointed out at the horizon it goes to full.
Total output is 2,000 lumens. A NITECORE NL2155HP 21700 cell of 5,500 mAh is supplied, fast charging over USB-C, with a tail power button and two level buttons.
