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 recognise. 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.
