ENDLESS BENEFITS:

  • LEP Spot — 1,300-metre beam reach — Laser Excited Phosphor technology produces a highly focused, coherent white beam that maintains intensity at distances no standard LED torch can match; 400 lumens in boost, 250 lumens in power mode with a 1,000-metre beam and 4-hour runtime, 75 lumens in low power with a 550-metre beam and 10-hour runtime.
  • COB White Flood — 1,000 lumens — three-LED COB array delivers homogeneous, even close-range illumination up to 40 metres; four modes from 1,000-lumen boost to 150 lumens with 20-hour runtime; ideal for campsite work, site tasks and close-range search operations.
  • COB Red — night vision preservation — red COB light across three output levels; 110-hour runtime at low power for sustained use; preserves natural dark adaptation for search operations, wildlife observation and any situation where maintaining night vision is critical.
  • Hard-anodised aluminium housing — military-grade surface treatment for enhanced corrosion and wear resistance; IP68 rated and 2-metre drop tested for demanding professional and outdoor use.
  • 4,800mAh 21700 Li-ion battery — high-capacity rechargeable cell; charges via the included magnetic USB-C cable in 270 minutes; battery indicator, charge indicator and low battery warning as standard.
  • Magnetic Charge System — secure, fast charging without precise connector alignment; compatible with the charging station (item 502260) and USB car charger (item 0380) for vehicle and site charging.
  • Replaceable battery — the 21700 cell is replaceable; genuine replacement available separately (item 502262).
  • Temperature Control System — manages thermal output during sustained high-power LEP use for consistent, safe performance.

FAQs

What is LEP and how is it different from LED?

LEP stands for Laser Excited Phosphor. Instead of a standard LED chip, an LEP torch uses a laser diode to excite a phosphor element, which produces an intensely focused, coherent white beam. The critical difference is beam behaviour over distance: a standard LED torch produces light that spreads and disperses as it travels, reducing effective illumination significantly beyond a few hundred metres. An LEP beam maintains its focus and intensity over much greater distances — the P9R Core LEP delivers a usable beam at 1,000 metres in power mode, which no standard LED torch at this size and weight can replicate. LEP technology also produces a high CRI of 80 — natural, accurate white light that renders colours and details correctly at extreme range.

What is the 1,300-metre beam distance compared to in practical terms?

At 1,300 metres in boost mode, the P9R Core LEP's beam reaches further than thirteen football pitches laid end to end. In practical operational terms, this means a search and rescue team can illuminate a hillside, treeline or water surface at distances where the subject would be completely invisible to any standard torch. For farmers checking livestock or fencing across large fields at night, or security personnel scanning wide perimeters, the effective range changes what is operationally possible with a handheld torch. This is a genuinely different category of illumination rather than an incremental improvement.

Who is the P9R Core LEP designed for?

The P9R Core LEP is designed for users who specifically need extreme long-range beam reach that standard LED torches cannot provide. Primary applications include search and rescue operations across open terrain, coastal and maritime search, large-scale farming and estate management, security and surveillance across wide areas, wildlife observation and photography at distance, and professional applications including railway maintenance and airfield/infrastructure inspection where long-range identification is operationally critical. The three-system design — LEP spot, COB white flood and COB red — means it is also fully functional for close-range work and night vision preservation, making it a comprehensive single-torch solution for these demanding users.

Why does the LEP beam only produce 400 lumens in boost when standard LED torches produce thousands of lumens?

This is the most common misconception about LEP technology. Lumens measure total light output emitted in all directions — a useful metric for flood illumination but misleading for focused beams. The LEP beam concentrates virtually all of its light energy into a tiny, coherent spot rather than spreading it across a wide cone. The result is a beam of extraordinary intensity at the point of focus over extreme distances, despite the lower lumen count. The more relevant comparison is candela (peak beam intensity), where the P9R Core LEP dramatically outperforms standard high-lumen LED torches at distance. For close-range work requiring high lumen output, the COB white array delivers 1,000 lumens with homogeneous flood illumination — covering both requirements in a single torch.

Can the P9R Core LEP be used for close-range tasks as well as long-range?

Yes — and this is what makes it genuinely versatile rather than a single-purpose specialist tool. The COB white array delivers 1,000 lumens of homogeneous close-range flood illumination across four modes, with 20-hour runtime at low power. The red COB preserves night vision during extended operations. The LEP spot handles extreme long-range requirements. Each light system is independently switchable via the mode switch — giving the user three distinct and purpose-optimised lighting tools in one 176mm torch.

Is LEP technology safe to use?

Yes, when used normally. The LEP system in the P9R Core LEP is fully enclosed and the light output is white light produced by the phosphor element — not a direct laser beam. The same safe handling guidance that applies to any high-output torch applies here: do not direct the beam directly into eyes at close range. The Temperature Control System manages thermal output during sustained high-power operation, protecting both the user and the torch's optical system.
