The SPERAS M1 is a mini EDC flashlight that punches far above its size class. With a CREE XPL2-W2 LED, up to 1000 lumens and 119 m of usable beam, it covers everything from admin tasks on the range to night walks and vehicle use – without taking more space than a marker pen.
A simple side switch UI gives fast access to its modes, including a low mode you can reach in a single step and mode memory to recall your last-used level. A built-in electronic lockout prevents accidental activation in pockets or bags.
One of the M1’s standout features is its dual-fuel compatibility: it runs on both 14500 Li-ion cells (for maximum 1000 lm output) and AA alkaline / Ni-MH batteries for ultimate flexibility in the field. That makes it a great backup for officers and shooters who may only have AA cells available in an emergency.
A magnetic tail cap lets you stick the light to vehicles, cabinets or equipment for hands-free work – useful for armoury tasks, range setup or improvised work lighting. Inside, the M1 features over-discharge protection, reverse polarity protection, smart temperature control and a battery capacity indicator, keeping both light and cell protected during hard use.
Despite the feature set, the M1 weighs only 36.6 g and measures 91 × 19 mm, with a high-strength aerospace aluminium body, orange-peel reflector, hardened AR-coated glass lens and IPX8 waterproof rating – compact enough to disappear in your pocket, tough enough to live in a duty bag.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- Very compact and light – easy to EDC in pocket, on vest or in a small admin pouch.
- Dual-fuel (14500 + AA) makes it highly practical for emergency and field use.
- Magnetic tail cap and side switch UI are excellent for admin, vehicle and range work.
- Good electronic protections and temperature control for a budget-friendly light.
- IPX8 and Type III anodising provide real-world durability.
Cons
- No built-in USB charging – requires an external charger or a kit including a charged 14500 cell.
- Single side switch can be less intuitive under stress than a dedicated tail switch for weapon use.
- Output and runtime depend strongly on battery type (AA cells give less performance than 14500).
