In this video, I'll show you the differences between a flashlight with a reflector, TIR lens, and LEP technology. Each achieves long-range performance with significantly different technologies.
I'll go through which ones I own and recommend for different purposes. These three categories of lights have significantly different beam profiles and functionality. It's important you pick the right one for your situation.
Make sure you hang around until the end - I show you some beam shots of these lights.

I would go so far as to say, the vast majority of people 99%+ should stay away from LEP flashlights.

[@johnwayne666]

Why?

[@EscapeVelo]

@@johnwayne666 Because there is virtually no spill. Spill is useful. LED throwers even with TIR optics will give some usable spill...and plenty of throw. Unless you are doing something specific where you need the reach of the LEP spotlights, then stick with the LED throwers.

[@EscapeVelo]

@@johnwayne666 But if you have a bunch of flashlights and just want an LEP to play with, that's your business.

[@johnwayne666]

@@EscapeVelo definitely for fun...far away fun light Saber fun...not so fun inside your house.✌🏼🤠

[@DarrenYeoYT]

They're great fun though I don't normally carry one around as an EDC or main light. If someone made a smaller 2 in 1 LEP/LED module.. that'd be awesome

[@leechuang9630]

Hi there! Do Sofirn and Wurkkos have LEP torches ? Thanks 😎 See ya!

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Hi mate, no they don't but I asked Wurkkos the other day and they said they are planning one for 2025.

[@johnwayne666]

LEP......i like pointing at any strange movement i see. Even if its down the street....😊

[@DarrenYeoYT]

LEP is great fun... Haha.

[@jamesguralski5156]

Acebeam k75. Is an animal of a 90.2 LED flashlight 🔦 as well. Great vid! Thanks for sharing

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Haha that one looks mad. I have enough large lights though, barely get used. Thank you James.

[@SukSukulent]

Holy smokes I really didn't expected this number of subscribers, clicked that button, very good content man! I bought sorfin SC31T for EDC and all-round use. Never heard about LEPs lol, sounds very interesting, my wallet is shaking xD Tho for general use, spill is good.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Thanks so much man! Yeah, it's tough getting subscribers but it's slowly getting there. Haha, yeah LEPs will burn a hole in your wallet these days, but I'm sure they'll come down soon. There's one you can get for about $50 USD on AliExpress. I think it's called the Natfire SF2.

[@smotheredchrome]

Great break down and beam shots keep up the good work.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Thanks man :)

[@kamran-eo4qi]

Thank you for the review Well done

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Thanks man, hope you find it helpful.

[@binggobravo2089]

Ok i choice thrunite tn2 v2, or imalent sr16

[@MADHIKER777]

Too bad there wasn't a head to head comparison shit of TIR vs LEP lights to show different beam patterns. Good video though.

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Thank you, I'll do some side by side ones next time. I've done some of those for some of the models in this and the last video you commented on, just not the entire collection.

[@dRoPaCiD7]

Good video brother !! I definitely want the convoy in 6k and the f12

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Cheers man! Those are two great options, especially when you're looking at 'budget' EDCs. I carry the FC12 around a lot more outside due to the throw. But you can get the SFT40 in most Convoy hosts.

[@TheASM196]

Very good video and you gave good info on LEPs. Subscribed!

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Thank you buddy! Glad you found my video helpful :)

[@daryoushborja5115]

Subbed

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Thank you my friend

[@Chinhnguyen0497]

yo. I really don't know what you're talking about. why don't you talk while testing it, i dont even know that light from which flashlight

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Yeah? What part didn't make sense to you? It's an older video so probably due for a remake. I filmed some new comparison videos tonight.
