Summary

Apart from the similarity in name, the Vastlite Minima Bow LED has little in common with the earlier Minima Bow featuring a laser light source. In fact, it is a completely new model with conventional LED technology.

The cool-white light shows a pronounced corona around the spot with a yellow-green tint. Operation via the mechanical tail switch is mostly intuitive – if it weren’t for the rather unnecessary blinking modes, which can be easily activated unintentionally.

With a different LED, the Vastlite Minima Bow LED could have been an attractive EDC flashlight: slightly warmer, without the ugly corona, with better color rendering and perhaps a small TIR optic instead of the reflector.
