Manufacturing Technology

 

Our manufacturing capabilities are second to none. We will not compromise on product quality

Quality is the result of a complex process which has to be monitored and controlled masterly so that it brings about products of highest longevity and rating. The finest materials are combined with the latest technologies and the most innovative thinking to produce some of the most desired products in the marketplace. Should you need it, our two year warranty provides additional peace of mind. Looked after well, a LED Lenser Flashlight will never let you down. Some of the manufacturing technologies that ensure peace of mind and value for money are as follows:

Modular Construction

Our unique modular construction ensures that any defective part is easily removed for repair or replacement without the need to purchase a totally new product. Purchasing another product due to a component malfunction is not only expensive and annoying, but also ecologically objectionable, because the appliances which have to be disposed of were manufactured with high expenditure of energy and raw materials.

One Handed Speed Focus

In the Advanced Focus System, the LED and the reflector-lens system are aligned on one axis. In order to achieve accurate positioning of the optical units, axis positions are gauged by laser.
In order to focus or defocus, the reflector-lens has to move relative to the lens. In conventional systems, this is achieved by turning the lamp head. We thought that solution way too slow and not really suitable if you want to operate the lamp with one hand. That’s why we developed Speed Focus, a one hand slide focusing mechanism. The noticeable advantage: You can switch from Flood to Spot beam in a flash.

High End Aircraft Grade Aluminum Casing

Many Flashlights have a plastic casing that feels insubstantial and offers little or no protection from accidental damage. LED Lenser high grade casings are robust enough to withstand extreme damage and are rated 54 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale.

Gold Plated Contacts

Materials differ in their electric conductivity. Many manufacturers use cheap contacts, with the result that in the contacts, a large part of the energy is converted into heat (voltage drop) and doesn’t reach the illuminant. To keep this effect to an absolute minimum, we gold plate our contacts. Hence, the energy of your flashlight doesn’t heat up the atmosphere but powers our high-performance chips to produce the most efficient amount of light.
Gold is also resistant to corrosion. We estimate that about 70% of flashlight failures can be attributed to corrosion damage caused by battery acid or battery gas. Gold doesn’t corrode (rust) and has a high grade of chemical resistance. Therefore, our contacts are hard gold plated. That means considerable expenditure, but it’s worthwhile because we create quality that lasts for decades.

Corrosion Resistant Threads with O-Ring Seals

Often our Flashlights will need to be used in adverse weather conditions. Corrosion resistant threads and O-Ring seals combine with our metal casings to provide a splash proof exterior.
