MORE THAN 20 YEARS OF EXPERTISE IN LIGHTING SOLUTIONS

When the two brothers Harald and Rainer Opolka from Solingen started out , they really didn ’ t have much more than a garage , an old Atari computer , a set of tools , a drawing pad and around 1000 Deutschmarks of seed capital . Today , the former garage company of both the Ledlenser founders is an internationally operating company and one of the global market leaders in portable lights . The German Ledlenser brand conquered the flashlight market in the year 2000 . The approach of equipping a flashlight with an LED instead of a bulb as a light source was absolutely visionary at that point in time . Millions of the “ V8 Photon Pump ” were sold worldwide and it constituted a new era of portable light – the “ P7 ” achieved the same thing several years later .
To meet our objective as an LED pioneer , we are still using this technological advantage today in the development of new products – particularly in times during which LED lighting has become the norm in so many places and genuine quality is becoming harder and harder to recognize . At the same time , our premise “ German Engineering & Design ” has guided us from day one and justifies our unique commitment to quality . Ledlenser products give users worldwide the freedom of doing their jobs to the best of their ability or pursuing their passion with devotion – with the best possible light on their side .
