What's this LEP all about

These lights are excellent on rifles. I own two LEP lights from Z-Bolt. A hand held and weapon mounted model.

I was able to acquire and PID targets out to 300 yards easily. The tight focus of the beam works perfectly with the scope.

These are definitely niche lights, but they fill a certain role extremely well.

Is the hand held 18350 body and tailcap one piece?
Rear Clicky switch mechanical (McClicky) or electronic?
 
I got the package deal with both bodies. It's a mechanical clicky with one mode only. I plan to buy the diffuser caps when they become available.

Yes, it has momentary function.

I was curious about heat as well, but I just turned it on for 5 minutes continuously, and it is only mildly warm to the touch. I thought this was going to get super hot.

I am eagerly awaiting the diffusers which will hopefully make this a versatile tool.
 
I got the diffusers in today. They are made by Villain Weapon Systems and are available on the Z-Bolt website.
I got the flood and combination spill/throw models. This make the LEP a versatile all-purpose light. Without these, the light is a one trick pony.

Yes, such lights can reach out for literally miles. I'll likely add one to my collection, eventually. Unfortunately what you typically get is a very narrow hot-spot with practically zero side-spill. And while the light can reach out for miles, with human eye-sight limitations, you're going to have a hard time making out what you're seeing several miles away. I think of LEP as more of a novelty that is fun to experience for about 5 minutes. Like a lava lamp.
Just saw a YouTube video of the Fenix HT30R White Laser Flashlight I had been considering for a awhile now. I hadn't paid much attention until yesterday because it was something more of maybe one day instead of really paying closer attention that I did this time. I mean the reviewer was oohing and awing but I noticed I couldn't really make out any details of the thing at the end of the spotlight. Maybe I guess if I also had a pair of binoculars as well as the Lep.

I did however decide to get one with an LEP the other day and should have my Terminator M1 by the end of the day. In those reviews that I saw I didn't notice that issue being a problem however I'm thinking that flashlight might not go quite as far as it is a smaller form factor or at least they hadn't tested it as far out.

But I agree, anything that really doesn't produce useable results is a novelty or toy at best.
Sometimes boys just like their toys.
