No question one of the smallest LEP flashlights made, it’s small compact size still offers an impressive long range beam of 750 metres, housed in a high quality body that can easily fit into any pocket.
Available with tritium or without (or glow stips), 4 grooves in the head, giving users a choice of some additional visual appeal.
The tail also features a glow in the dark ring, so it’s easy to see the flashlight in the darkness.
3 modes of operation, 2 power levels up to 280 lumens, with a strobe mode of 120 lumens.
This model used a common 16340 cell, which is easy to find and can provide run times up to 1 hour and 15 minutes on the lowest setting of 50 lumens.
The body has extra knurling for a comfortable grip, with a stainless steel clip which is removable. Bezel has fine crenulations, and is also made from stainless steel. Quality build is here too, aluminum alloy with IP68 water and dust resistance. There is no fear using the Minima Bow in all weather conditions, and it’s been tested to a drop distance of 1 metre.
Ideal EDC carry with a small size of only 71mm x 20mm, surely a record for a LEP flashlight, with a weight of just 36.5g (without battery).
White LED Laser with a big 750 metres range
With 2 power levels on offer you can extend the run times of the flashlight, and use it for longer and closer activities. The top level of 280 lumens has a powerful beam range of 750 metres, much higher than a traditional flashlight. LEP laser light is white and has minimal spill, letting the light concentrate in the middle gives precise control over the light and allows you to pinpoint areas of interest.
Top candela rating is 140,650cd, with the low mode offering still an excellent reach of 310 metres at 50 lumens and a candela of 24030cd.
Strobe is here too, at 120 lumens for use in an emergency or for signalling.
User operation is a key factor, and thanks to the twist mechanism, it’s super easy to pick up and use. Simply tighten/loosen the head for On/Off, a quick twist lets you change the modes (also has a memory), and a quick rotation (On/Off) 2 times lets you select the strobe mode.
