I talk about a new LEP demo module I received from Blue Lake/Flamingo Light, the manufacturer and source of all LEP modules you see in your favourite lights.
Blue Lake provided a sample of this module for this review. I was not paid to make this video, nor have I withheld any negative points.

Video Transcript:
General thoughts after a week of usage/size comparison/practicality/interesting things:
• So this is a slightly different review video from the others I've made - this is an LEP demo kit from the company Blue Lake/Flamingo Light (US) that is responsible for producing all the LEP modules you see in your favorite LEP lights.
• Recently Ted from Blue Lake has made their LEP modules available for hobbyists to purchase directly and offered to send me a sample of their 19.2W LEP Demo kit.
• What you get in the kit: LEP module (mine is the 19.2W, 950-lumen module), heatsink, driver/power supply, 30mm focusable lens. You can also get a triple lens kit for the same price (27, 38, 55mm). The 55mm lens is capable of producing a 2.8km beam.
• Website - examples of various modules available.
Overall Construction, LED, lens, bezel and reflector
• The LEP module itself is made of copper, and screws into the heatsink. I was surprised at how small the module was. Could imagine this in a smaller light like a Convoy S2+ or Reylight Pineapple. The lens kit appears to have a 3D printed housing + two lenses + wheel that focuses the beam from wide to narrow.
• Specifications of the driver noted on the exterior. A power source is also provided. My friend and fellow flashlight Tim McMahon purchased an AC to USB-C adapter to run his LEP kit via a power bank.
• Demonstration: I notice that without the lens, the LEP module produced a wide, floody beam - similar to what a LED without a reflector would produce. The lens focuses all that light to a central hotspot with virtually no spill. There is also a reduction of light output during this process.
UI - modes
• Demo kit comes with only one mode - you'd need to pair this with a suitable driver and battery.
Verdict
The release of LEP modules to the general public is great news, and I can see a lot of modders getting excited to put one of these into their lights. Some of the modules like the flat base ones seem more versatile than the screw-in ones, as you could install them in a wider variety of hosts.

Brilliant introduction of the LEP module. We’d love to see you light up the module outdoors 😂 That’s where it proves its value. ❤

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Hi Ted, glad you liked the video! I am meeting with Tim tomorrow a bit further out at an old quarry, and we'll be taking some beamshots of both modules and making videos.

[@TorchHacker]

A USB-C PD to 5.5/2.5 DC 12V 2A adapter allows this kit to become portable with a power bank. 😀

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Yeah I have to see your setup tomorrow. I notice the driver becomes a bit hot, like you were saying about it having to step up the voltage.

[@blacklisted4885]

Wow very cool. I can see some military applications perhaps

[@DarrenYeoYT]

That 14-15km one looks incredible.

[@Noz_-og3sz]

Can you test it with laser pointer or different leds?
I'm trying to build something similar for my convoy m21a. My goal is to make lep-like beam, but with red light 😍

[@DarrenYeoYT]

Yeah I'm planning to tonight. Need to borrow a battery pack from Tim. Putting one of these on an M21A/B would be sweet.
