The LED Lenser M5 is one of the most economical light sources. It operates on one standard AA battery and provides many hours of ultra-bright light (100 lumens) thanks to its microprocessor-operated Smart Light Technology. It has three modes of output (high, low & strobe) that are accessible through its tail cap switch. The M5 features the Advanced Focus System (AFS), which is the patented technology that combines a reflector
and lens to create a light system that provides both a focused beam for long-distance and a homogenous spill-beam for up-close reading. The Rapid Focus system enables the user to quickly focus the beam with just one-hand.

LED Lenser was founded in 1994 by twin brothers Rainer and Harald Opolka in their garage in Germany. Now LED Lenser has over 1000 employees, hundreds of patents and numerous design awards. There are a number of reasons to buy an LED Lenser flashlight, but one very good reason is that they stand behind their product with a five-year-warranty, wherein they will repair or replace the product and ship it back to you at their expense.
