LEDLENSER - FROM A GARAGE, NOW THE WORLD
Ledlenser are one of the world's market leader's in LED handheld torches and headlamps, quite an amazing turnaround for the Opolka twins who 31 years ago started their company, without any backing from the banks, in their tiny garage.
Now the, Germany-born, twins have a company of 1.500 employees, three manufacturing bases and a range of some of the world's highest-quality LED torches. Today, just as in the beginning, they remain driven by light - the emission, channeling and powering of light.
Technologically advanced, of high-quality and incredibly compact, Ledlenser lights use state-of-the-art engineering and a variety of patent pending reflector systems to create the brightest, most energy-efficient LED lights available.
Some say Ledlenser already make the best lights in the world, however, the company itself believe they’re only at the beginning of their journey as there is always an idea better than the last, even the best quality can be improved.
In addition, Ledlenser work tirelessly to further develop their technological edge – from superior lenses to smart batteries. They currently have over 100 patents for their innovative ideas, but already have an eye on the next 100. To allow their innovations to shine light on the darkest corners of the world, they are currently expanding their global distribution system.
It just shows what can be done with a great idea and hard work. Now, as Harald Opolka likes to say, "We are our own bank." As if to remind anyone of this who might happen by, today a lone, tattered, pirate flag waves over their Solingen headquarters.
