LED Lenser M1 Flashlight
Today I am dealing with a small package that I received last week, content was a high-power LED flashlight company Zweibrüder Optoelectronics . As the owner of the Led Lenser P7 flashlight I already know the advantages of LED lights over traditional flashlights. The Led Lenser M1 is a handy lamp with impressive light output for their size. With almost 10cm length beats my 40cm MagLite in the luminous intensity I, as I said, very impressive finde. Interessant I also find the strobe function at events is this practical to FO (fiber optic conductor) to undergo cable an optical break check.
Packaging and delivery
We delivered the M1 in a hard cardboard, including the necessary CR123 3V battery, belt holder and a retaining clip. Enclosed is a brief description in Business Size, called “smart card”. Although the term is rather misleading bring one the information on rapid Feature that later.
Functions
The M1 is equipped with an intelligent overheating protection which automatically dims the lamp after some time. I myself do not need the lamp usually for 5 minutes or longer at full level so I do not find it distracting, but can not imagine that for some this feature is more of a disadvantage than advantage. But the “Dimmed” stage and offers enough light. Working where I screw with the lamp as the PC I am doing mostly anyway from the beginning on the “economy mode” because I am so not even blende. Die lamp now has 3 modes which can be switched through, 1x Press = Full light, 2x press = reduced light output (economy mode), 3x stroboscope effect. The latter is not suitable for “play around”, light the Light and the rapid flashing frequency is a very different 
But as already written at a look at, as fiber optic sight tester 1A.
In the feature list is “splashproof” I have times with tested 15 minutes torch in the filled basin. No problem, according to the water, I have broken the lamp and was surprised everything dry. So therefore you should even when häftigen rain no problems bekommen. Was me is really like in LED Lenser generally known as the ” Speed Focus ” is usually screwed or turning on a lamp as on a camera lens to the desired focus to obtained with the speed Focus is like the L lenses from Canon (professional series) you push the lens back and forth only simple and thus achieved very quickly the desired focusing.
In the two pictures you can see the M1 left with wide flare and right which then reached a spot adjusted considerable reach. For durability, the battery I can not say anything yet, but is used by the special battery CR123A more performance and service life can be achieved which is sufficient for a pure light time of 8h.
Size, weight and inner workings of Led Lenser M1
All contacts As with my P7 are also in the smaller M1 plated and the entire device is very high quality, it has the touch already a very good robust feeling.
My Kitchen Scale gives me 76g in weight with battery back ( by manufacturer 78g ) the ruler is about 9.6 cm to about 2 cm wide. Thus, the whole also ideal for traveling is suitable.
Images, basement and optical waveguides
Below are some pictures I made while testing the M1. The quality of compulsory Keller pictures is not quite as good as I currently unfortunately only one camera at hand had the noise value rapidly migrates into unbearable at high ISO; (But still you can see the sufficient small but the lighting in the basement was in. two pictures does not change the light obtained comes exclusively from the M1. In the pictures with the optical fiber cable can be seen quite well as a cable which no break has behaves. In the pictures, the light signal was passed through a 50 m fiber optic cable and can be seen the exit point at the plug. the M1 was only held in front of the other connector. Läge here a fraction before would continue transporting no more light min. one of the two light guides. Beautiful is this the strobe function.
Conclusion
As always, make a long story short conclusion. Handy, weighs little and brings the power of a large and tends to be very robust. More must I do not think this is sagen. Weitere details there for interested here:
