This pen-shaped, metal-bodied VFL uses a Class 3A laser diode as its visible light source, with a nominal wavelength of 650 nm. Light emission can be continuous or switched (2 Hz) and has an output power of up to 10 mW with a range of 10 kilometers.
The new VFL features a universal adapter for 2.5 mm ferrule connectors (with an optional 1.25 mm ferrule).
The BML-205, measuring 175 mm in length, 26 mm in diameter, and weighing 88 grams (batteries included), is powered by two 1.5 V AAA alkaline batteries (providing 50 hours of continuous operation) and has an operating temperature range of -10 to +50 °C.
