The story of Czech headlamps Lucifer
Proving that even one man can do it
My name is Petr Dvořák, in 2014 I invented and founded Lucifer headlamps because I couldn't buy a headlamp on the market that would suit me - it was powerful, light, had a nice light cone, lasted extra long and could be attached to a bike or helmet.
It took 4 years to make my first headlamp, I had to learn how to design circuit boards, solder, work in CAM and machine on a CNC mill. But it paid off and I successfully used the first model in many extreme races.

The biggest professional challenge of my life
At the age of 30, I quit my job as a 3D graphic designer and jumped into the unknown. I rented a small workshop, got a hobby CNC milling machine and started making my first headlamps.
The first years were a huge ride! You can endure a lot when you follow your dream, I worked 12h a day, had no holidays and earned nothing in the beginning. But there was interest in headlamps and I had the will to keep going!
To make the perfect headlamp
I wanted to make the best headlamp in the world! Our very first M1 headlamp was already great, but I wanted the best, so I kept innovating and making it better and better every year.
If such a headlamp existed, I wouldn't make my own. The situation today is the same as when I started. Chinese headlamps are cheap but not good, and those established well-known brands only make a mediocre product, never the best, and they also make everything in China.
From the small garage to the big world
Within a couple of years, the positive testimonials were passed on and I stopped making them myself. I started to gradually build a small company and professionalize everything.
Today there are 3 of us, all the headlamps still pass through our hands, we make them every day in our workshop in Prague 8. We sell 8 models of headlamps, each one is different and all of them are great, we send them all over the world, although the Czech Republic still leads.

We are constantly innovating
We're always inventing and improving, whether it's headlamps, accessories or our manufacturing processes.
There's always more to work on, but we're already among a small group of companies in the world that produce similarly high quality and powerful headlamps and who, like us, believe that customers deserve a quality product.

We are still manufacturing in the Czech Republic
All headlamps are manufactured in our workshop, all subcontracts are from Czech companies, practically nothing from China!
We are manufacturing more and more parts directly ourselves and will continue to do so. We have a state of the art CNC machining centre and with that we can produce almost anything.

This is our story. We're not millionaires, we still have to go to work every day, but we make a cutting edge product and that makes sense.
When a quality headlamp makes sense to you too, join the ranks of their owners, you won't regret it!
Thank you for putting your trust in us so we can continue to grow our headlamps.
