How Ledlenser reinvented the torch

Spot on! The Ledlenser story begins - as with many other revolutionary products - in a small garage. It was two brothers who saw the light in 1993. With great enthusiasm and dedication, Harald and Rainer Opolka founded the company that today, as Ledlenser, is one of the world market leaders in mobile light.

In the beginning, the two brothers didn't have much more at their disposal than an old Atari computer, a set of tools, a drawing pad and about 1000 D-Mark start-up capital. But that didn't stop them from turning night into day with their flashes of inspiration, working hard and dreaming of great success during a few hours of sleep.

The first big hit came with the "Photon Pump V8", which was sold millions of times worldwide and became a modern classic torch. Today, the garage company of yesteryear is an internationally active manufacturer of portable LED light products that has no equal anywhere in the world.
