my god, flashlights have come a long way. i remember back when they were little more than dim little dingy electric candles. my dad and i loved building car engines together. of course, whenever things got tricky, i was put on flashlight duty and he would work away at the bolt head, scolding me if i ever let the flashlight off the mark. after i moved from home, we would try to work on engines whenever we could, but it obviously wasnt the same anymore. im glad i got this flashlight. now he can call me whenever he wants, and i can shine a light on his engine from my bedroom window across town. 10/10/

The W4Pro is even more of an insane thrower. We have a local casino just outside town, and from an opposing hilltop road more than 3 kilometers away, I can clearly see windows on the top floors bathed in light. What's equally impressive is that the cars and ground floor underneath are almost completely unaffected. The advantage of having very little spill from so far away from these LEP lights cannot be overstated.

So there is and upgraded version Weltool W4 pro tac which is 8 lumens more on high and boasts 3300 meters. From a side by side of the previous W4 the pro seems to have a bigger hot spot. Love to see your take on that FLASHAHOLIC. The pro retails around $479.00 US. If they can ever perfect these LEPs for wider beams it will replace LEDs just my thought, but that is a long ways out. I see Acebeams is back working on LEPs again so maybe they will be the one to break the 4000 meter mark.

I purchased a skylumen which is quite similar to nealsgagets budget lep. It’s killer! I’m eyeballing this one now.. it’s fun to touch clouds. Especially when there’s precipitation in the air. Using the beam on a ceiling will light up a room as well.

Banggood? You ever actually receive it?

[@normageinc.1322]

I have received from BG. Everything I order. The W4 took a little longer. But QQ 😳 The intensity to the skylumen which is incredible but not nearly as quality build as the weltool is night and day. I’m waiting on a fenix tk30 but not from bg. Seemed a nice size step down in size and ui, for an edc lep and for tactical mount. Skylumen. Get your feet wet decent price whitesaber I would take over a k1 because of size and intensity but I wouldn’t go dropping it or shock testing it. Decent ip 🐳W4 feels top notch though. Absolutely stunning, Exquisite light technology. Weltool in general. I have the t10 hr and hg with tail switches. Devil incarnate. And those are exquisite as well. If you are looking for exclusive tac. The w35 lep looks incredible but I’ve got the fenix coming. I will get some vids up soon. Choose wisely

Sweet light! I feel for the people in the farm house. They probably bought black shades for the windows

[@allesdurchprobiert]

Rumor has it, that all animals on that farm are blind for some mysterious reason.

[@Enonymouse_]

These are cool but I have to wonder, if the light at 160m is dangerous to your eyes, how useful or safe would this be for someone using this as a spotlight? You might risk frying your own optic nerve if the light refracts back at you.

[@TheLumberJacked]

No. But no one will want to look at it. The only damage you could do is keeping your eye open and staying at an exposed laser excited phosphor bead. It’s only doing damage because of the brightness not because of laser energy. However, if you look at how tiny the phosphor bead is, that’s the secret. Getting 500 lumen into the eye from a large surface of several LED’s is slightly different than 500 lumen from a 2mm bead. That density is what let’s this flashlight do it’s thing ultimately. However, if you aren’t looking directly at an exposed phosphor just a few inches away without blinking, you are fine. Accidentally flashing yourself or someone else won’t do damage to their eye, however if 500lumen from a regular flashlight scatters quickly, the LEP is the opposite, it will maximize output lumen much farther from the emitter. So whatever 500lumen is capable of doing to you at close range, an LEP will accomplish further from the emitter. The danger is somewhere between LED and Laser with the scale leaning hard towards the usual risks associated with LED’s.

[@benjaminq3226]

The K75 has more candela than the W4 and is not classified as a laser! How and why? I do own both lights and they are brilliant!

I've wondered that myself but it might because the W4 uses laser technology though some say it isn't

The W4 uses only a laser to excite the plasma, but the laser beam does not exit in any way. Therefore, I do not find the classification as a laser justified

I guess I'm just curious as to why there isn't an LEP that has a diverging lens on it for flood, rather than a focused spot beam. I understand how lasers and phosphors work, but I'd be interested to know how an LEP performs as a flood light, if it can even do that at all well.

@Derrin Eckelmann Yeah. I love brass and copper torches and they are wonderful. It's the only reason I brought an astrolux s41 for the copper on it.

@Derrin Eckelmann - other lights throw just as far or further, and will light up a large swath of the ocean. Wouldn’t that make it easier to find buoys on the open ocean?

[@gpaull2]

@Derrin Eckelmann - looking at the beam shots it seemed that others were lighting up the target more, with spill as well. I just can’t imagine that it would be easy to find anything with this light in the pitch black unless you knew where it was already. It’s like looking through a pin hole.

[@Infinion]

That laser diode is being overdriven well beyond 0.25W. I mean that's fine if it's being cooled sufficiently. If the battery life is about 2 hours with an 18Wh battery, the input power is something like 9W! Assuming it uses an 85% efficient driver, the efficacy of the laser at that power would be around 73 lumens/watt. I guess the takeaway here is that this flashlight can achieve long distance illumination without a very large reflector.
