FAQ
What is the difference between Low Beam and High Beam?
Low Beam (FOV 15°) illuminates a wider area up to 150m — good for search operations. High Beam (FOV 4°) focuses the beam up to 300m — for precise target identification. Both On mode combines both for up to 500m.
Why LEP instead of LED?
LEP technology produces a more focused and intense beam with lower power consumption than LED of comparable range — crucial for UAV platforms where every watt reduces flight time.
Does the S1 significantly affect flight time?
Minimally — consumption is approx. 17 W in long-range mode for M400 platforms (977 Wh battery).
