The 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.

ADVANCED FOCUS SYSTEM

Traditionally light-focusing systems have consisted of either a lens, or a reflector. Lenses have the advantage of emitting a homogenous light pattern for distances almost 70% of the light is scattered and lost.

Conversely, while reflectors do a better job of capturing a higher percentage of light for long-distances, when they are used for up-close reading scattered light causes "rings" and "holes" in the light pattern leading to eye fatigue.

In both these cases, the lumen count (brightness) loses its validity as light is misdirected and wasted. That's why we decided to try something different.

If you pull together the strengths of the lens and reflector into one combined system, you achieve clear, homogeneous light spill for up-close reading and a sharply-focused beam for long-distance viewing.

This is exactly what we've done with the patented Advanced Focus System (AFS); the only light-focusing system of its kind. AFS means reading the map up-close is easy on the eyes and then focusing to find the path or landmark in the distance, clear and bright.

SMART 

Sometimes you want constant power to your light. Other times you know you'll be out for awhile and you want to conserve energy. Either way Smart Light Technology settings allow you to choose how much power you want to use to operate your light.

Now add to that individualized programs you set quickly and easily with a simple click on the tail switch. There's one for professionals, an easy everyday mode, and one for defense. Each program has unique functions from simple on/off to, "S.O.S." and even a potentially lifesaving "defense strobe."

Simple, fast and custom for you. Smart Light Technology is one more way LED Lenser puts the "brains" in "bright."

RAPID FOCUS

Fiddling with the light bezel to focus and de-focus is a hassle. If you loosen it too much the light goes off, not enough and you're starting over. Worst of all the speed of acting or reacting is doubled when you have to use two hands.

With our Rapid Focus system you can go from reading to searching by using the thumb on your holding hand to simply slide the bezel away from you. One hand, one movement, seamless transition from close to far and all points in between.
