One more use for these lights (LEP): indoors, they illuminate a room quite well, when directed at a white painted ceiling. I sometimes tailstand mine for that purpose.
I'm glad you got this resolved. I had thought about your issue just a few weeks ago and came on TH-cam to check on it, only to find it was ongoing still. I will be looking forward for future releases.
Thank you for showing the lights thru a scope. I am the one that was looking for a predator light. The laser lights look too concentrated. The GT Mini you suggested is perfect out past 200 yards. Thank you for the help..
Can you do a vid on high-CRI or otherwise better color temp flashlights? Bright is fine for blinding people, but I was suprised to see my ATac A1 to be actually useable at much further distances (with COLOR objects) than my A1S. The A1S was 'brighter' but provided less visual information. I returned it and am still looking for a better replacement at any cost. When I borrow my buddies lights (fenix etc) to compare, many of them are blue/green, or just washed out, with only one with a nichicon emitter being nicer to the eyes. Some of use use flashlights for actually identifying things, not just gun target practice at night.
I have the Neals Gadgets LEP. It’s very useful for long-distance outdoor security work at night. Distance = safety. Strobe will chase away casual trespasser at 300 yards. Also excellent for viewing interior of cars with dark tinted windows. Remains cool to touch. Good battery life with rechargeable 26650 (not included). Very compact and light, easy to carry as secondary light for distance work. Unsuitable for primary light.
Had the Weltool W4. Really impressive but of absolutely no use for me. And to be honest you got to be so careful with it not to accidentally shine it at something where it shouldn't be so I instantly sold it again.
Hi Matt, good to see you back and your video of these LEP's, to me its a nice preliminary before we enter the Lumencraft section🤗.. (lookin forward to it) i wonder did you leave that dummy, er.. that charlie um.. dat dummy charlie.. in the edge of the wilder.... parking lot? Cheers,🔦
I know that some people prefer concentrated spot like FW1 or W4 have but I seriously cant find any reason for such tight spot that far away, as you not only cant see perfectly what is so far away, but also that brightness make it blinding sometimes if surface is white/glossy. Even that type laser flashlights should be more balanced, and I think that W3 pro do that best as its light diffuse better making spot tad bigger but still bright in the center. I wish that those laser flashlight would have small separate focus lens, not much, just to make it wider when you need wider light... because of two lenses and more complicated structure it would probably cost more, but still... it would be nice. Also what about durability of those mirrors? I wonder how much abuse it can take before its glue give up... if it give up...
Buy alternatives to lumintop. I bought a Thor 1 that had manufacturer defects on the tail cap. I contacted their customer service twice and included pictures and a video but they never responded. I then bought one of their lights from Amazon in part to be able to contact lumintop through a different channel. They responded but were no help and told me to fix it myself. Unfortunately with these Chinese companies, once they have your money, they will ignore you. They could have had a lifetime customer if they handled it appropriately, but I won't buy another one of their lights.
Tighter the beam brighter it is at range and further it reaches, floody beams are for a wide up close illumination. You have to balance depending on your usage. Or just own a lot of lights and pick 🙂
Great to see you back.. Stop keeping us AceBeam X50 fans waiting in suspense.. I can see that lumen monster sitting behind you.. Review it please Mr Smith??
You the best with beam comparison. I just need a good tight beam at night @ 1320' (side of 40 acre square) for land management. MateMinco FW2 @ $100 looks good. Thanks and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Hey Matt, I don't think you're doing anything "wrong" during your Lumens-Tests, cause your Light Box is still testing ALL of the lights equally against the same "control" and it's very observable. When you first shined the Thor I and II outside at the shed, I immediately noticed on my monitor (jumping back and forth with my keyboard), that the Thor II was noticeably less bright than the Thor I.
I just bought the new W-5 by Weltool and I love it..my question is that if all of this light is made by shining a laser on phosphor could it be made brighter by using two lasers ? or even 3 ?
@@MattBlank0 I got my wires crossed. I ment "maxtoch". Sorry to lead everybody down the wrong garden path. I hope you smelt the flowers on the way out.
Recently bought the FW1. I haven’t purchased battery yet. Does it require a flat top or button top? Protected battery or unprotected?? Does the charging port in the light provide the circuitry protection that protected batteries have? I see that Samsung has 2 different 21700s. Which is best for the mateminco fw1? THANKYOU for your time and advice in your response.

Matt, I just purchased the Thor 1 with an extension to be able to use the 18650 battery. Hopefully the bulb assy can handle this? I haven't been able to find any info on this yet?
Without having yet read any of the comments here, I’ll add mine. My first and only experience with a LEP light is the Olight Odin Turbo. I’m just curious why this particular light wasn’t included in this comparison, given the significant presence of Olight in the flashlight community.
@@farmfanugan Everyone has to start somewhere. I have a vast collection of lights that include numerous different brands, not all of which are Chinese, but a company like Surefire doesn’t make LEP lights, AFAIK.
I don’t know about lumintop quality. Awesome lights when they work, but I had my first GT mini crap out on me after only 2 weeks but lumintop replaced it but then the spring came off the tail cap switch on my FW3A. Tried soldering it back on but won’t stay on.
I have the Thor 1, Thor 2, the unbranded lep, W30 and the Mateminco FW1 and some others. my candela measurments are so much different then yours its hard to believe. I measure all my lights at 10m with a cirtified calabratied light meter. all tests were preformed multiple times even on different days and i get silimar results. to back of these numbers i did a eye visual test out in the real world. My Mateminco FW1 out throws my Vinh modded Spec C Mateminco MT90 plus to my eyes on some trees 500 feet away, and Vinh measured over 3mcd with the his modded Mt90 plus, so i defenatly trust my numbers. after comparing all my lights outside and comparing what i see to my numbers they pretty much line up. your numbers for the bigger leps really seams low especialy the Fw1, unless there is that much variation between samples. 2.1 to 3.6 mcd just seams like to large of a variation. The FW1 is in a different league compared to all my other leps. Visualy outside on some trees 500 feet away it makes all my other leps look weak. such an impressive light. My measurements are as follow, Thor1- 340kcd Sky Lumen compact Lep - 400kcd Thor2 - 740kcd Acebeam W30 - 1.89mcd Maxtoch l2x lep - 2.1mcd Unbranded LEP - 1.12mcd Mateminco FW1 - 3.6mcd Mateminco MT90 modded - 3.2mcd
Thank you so much for sharing. I suspect that there is a wide range of output given by a batch of the "same" lasers. LEDs are tightly bin sorted, but with lasers the tolerances may be wider. Also even a slight variation in focus optimization can result in a significant change in CD. I don't doubt that you have an FW1 that is significantly higher. It sounds like you just hit the bin/focus lottery.
@@Lumencraft- that's exactly what Vinh told me. And not that I think about it I have many lasers that are rated for a certain mw rating and they are all rated the same 445nm 1600mw driven at the same current. Well some are as high as 1950mw and a few are as low as 1500mw in my testing with my lpm. Which is a bigger gap then leds for sure. I was forgetting the light was starting out as direct diode laser. I will say the focus on my fw1 sample is thr best I have ever seen in all my leps. It really looks about as tight and focused as you can get.

Hi I’m a fan of your channel and I love your content! Can you please help me?

hey friends. I love the long distance capability of this but its too expensive for me and its not practical to me if its going to blind the person Im spotting, SO... is there a a low-cost led that performs similar to this? Im looking for best value, low costing, long distance spot lights.. doesn't have to be compact, doesn't have to beam out to 2 miles, but a football field long spot would be appreciated! please, friends, tell me your recommendations please. GB
Matt I've tried to get ahold of you I have a lumintop flashlight that just will not work lumintop odl20c please help ! Lumintop does not respond by email for me
I was looking at a laser light and liked the idea of the neals gadgets laser. I ended up buying a notigon k1 instead. This makes me wander if I should still buy one of these or if I can consider my thrower box checked? If anyone has both I'll listen.
i have both, although the k1 i have has the green osram emitter. they're both the same length, the ng lep is way thinner at the head which makes it nicer to carry around. even with the green osram emitter the k1 doesn't have as much throw, although it's way more practical for normal use because it has spill. the strong points for getting the ng lep are it's the longest throwing lep that doesn't have a big flared out head and it looks more like a light sabre than any other light. also it has a thick bezel that sticks out around half an inch, the lens is very well protected from anything touching it compared to most other flashlights
I have both and both are worth it. The green k1w1 and the skylumen unbranded. I also like the skylumen lep mini. There is no spill on the lep torches. Both have intense hotspot. I know the feeling of I must know. I don’t regret any of my torch purchases. Having a larger collection of lep and led torches. Each impressive in its own way.
Acebeam seemed to slightly out preform the others with lil mention.. it was my choice when it came out and yes it would be very nice to have a focusable head as the one you demo'd. Prices have skyrocket since then.. glad l bought my Acebeam then at a touch over $200.. it is a fantastic defense light that will simply stop an attacker in their tracks leaving you to control the situation. Honestly l have found no other reason to have such a light, it's useless camping, walks on trails, an inside house light... It does NOTHING well but dissable an attacker and it does it like no other.
Thats an intersting hypothesis. I think if I has a reasont to attack someone, and they shined a bright light in my face, I would just shoot at and around the light, but good luck with this apparent disabling effect.
Thanks for showing us this Matt, but I can't for the life of me imagine a use for these tight-beamed lights. Possibly to blind someone at night? I liked the LED a lot better.
There is a set for these lights in the video description. There is also a link to a spreadsheet in the description with a wide range of lights I recommend for different applications.
I must say.. that Thor 1 is one of the coolest lights I've seen ( cosmetic wise ). I have to get one.
I have a W4 myself and no practical use for it but I absolutely love it.
Me too I have the W4 PRO TAC/W3 PRO TAC along with the Thor 3 and love just taking them to the field and playing with them like a kid.
One more use for these lights (LEP): indoors, they illuminate a room quite well, when directed at a white painted ceiling. I sometimes tailstand mine for that purpose.
Good to see how the W30 compares to newer models. It has been my favorite cloud bouncer next to my BLF GT.
"Waitin on your next stimy"...that was funny! 🤣
I'm glad you got this resolved. I had thought about your issue just a few weeks ago and came on TH-cam to check on it, only to find it was ongoing still.
I will be looking forward for future releases.
Love seeing the beam shots down range. Always wondered what some of those super throwers look like a mile away
Glad youre back were missing your flashlights review. Keep uploading God bless
Glad my Acebeam W30 still hangs in there near the top. Mine get used virtually every night.
Thank you for showing the lights thru a scope. I am the one that was looking for a predator light. The laser lights look too concentrated. The GT Mini you suggested is perfect out past 200 yards. Thank you for the help..
I love my Acebeam W30 95CRI, it has held up to fairly normal use for the last couple years. Sure is a good thrower.
What kind of battery life do these lights get?
I wish I could afford a LEP flashlight 😿 I’m just hooked on trower light 🤩 one of these days one of these days 🤞
Can you do a vid on high-CRI or otherwise better color temp flashlights?

Wats the purpose of these lights other than using them to point out stuff but cant really use them for hiking etc
Seeing things at long ranges that high powered LED throwers can't illuminate sufficiently, or for having a thrower where spill is undesired.
Had the Weltool W4. Really impressive but of absolutely no use for me. And to be honest you got to be so careful with it not to accidentally shine it at something where it shouldn't be so I instantly sold it again.

Hey Matt, next time I'm in town, I'll have to look you up. Great review.
New to flashlights here. What would be the advantage or the desire to have a light that throws a tight beam vs more of a flood/spill?
Tighter the beam brighter it is at range and further it reaches, floody beams are for a wide up close illumination. You have to balance depending on your usage. Or just own a lot of lights and pick 🙂
Nebo has a laser flash/spot light out now, Luxtreme SL100 I think. Saw it had red and white led cob's too.
Thanks for this video Matt.
I'll stick with LED.
I wanna see a Collaboration of a Flashaholic and a Laserholic to make a crazy powerful LEP Flashlight.
You should include the Sky Lumen non-branded LEP, which is excellent...
That one is represented somewhat by testing the “Neals Gadgets Unbranded” (give or take a few thousand candela for the Skylumen version from Vinh.)

Charles was adorable.
I was looking at adding an LEP to my growing collection of Olight's, Streamlight's, Surefire's. Only to find out that ALL LEP's are illegal in Canada.
Why is that?
How about the Fenix TK30?
The technology is great, although I don’t have any use for this flashlight I’ll love to have one, just for fun.
I like the Thor 2 but i went with the Amutorch BT55. It has a rotating focusing ring.

Any of the LEP lights, really.
So how much are the flashlights?
In your list have you actually measured the rated lumen output ?
Wish I could give another like for the Springfield Cardinals cap on the dummy.
None of these are on amazon 😕
I own the Odin Turbo... the build quality and run times are excellent,
but I don't care for the tint.

My FW3T had the spring come off as well. To be fair I do put it through its paces though
Can you actually see the blue beam?
With such a tight thrower…these all would be of little use for my needs.
I imagine they’ll develop flood types as time goes by
It won’t make sense to do flood LEP type flashlight. LED got flood covered already
They already do. There called LED lights.

Hi Matt, are Lep safe for reading! Are they safe?
Safe for reading what? Your question makes no sense without context.

Actual lumens are always lower than calculated lumens (used by the manufacturer).
