  • Double Press (from ON): Activates Turbo mode (3800 Lumens).
  • Triple Press (from ON): Activates Strobe mode. Subsequent triple presses cycle through SOS and Beacon modes.

3. Switching Between General and Tactical Modes

  • To switch between General Mode and Tactical Mode, press and hold the side switch for 3 seconds.
  • In Tactical Mode, only High and Low brightness levels are available, along with Strobe via the tail switch.

4. Advanced Thermal Regulation (ATR)

The SP35T is equipped with ATR technology. As the flashlight's temperature rises during prolonged high-output use, the ATR system automatically steps down the brightness to prevent overheating. This protects the flashlight and extends its lifespan. The brightness will automatically step up again once the temperature decreases.

5. Battery Indicator

The side switch features a built-in battery charge indicator. The color of the indicator light will change to reflect the remaining battery level.

Maintenance

  • Clean the threads and O-rings regularly with a clean cloth. Lubricate them periodically with silicone grease to maintain water resistance.
  • If the flashlight is not used for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage.
  • Store the flashlight in a cool, dry place.
  • Avoid dropping the flashlight or subjecting it to strong impacts.

Troubleshooting

1. Flashlight does not turn on:

  • Check if the battery is inserted correctly with the positive (+) terminal facing the head.
  • Ensure the tail cap is screwed on tightly.
  • The battery might be depleted. Try charging the battery or replacing it with a fully charged one.
  • Check for any protective film or paper on the battery that needs to be removed.

2. Light output is dim or flickering:

  • The battery might be low. Recharge or replace the battery.
  • Clean the battery contacts and flashlight threads.
  • Ensure the tail cap and head are screwed on tightly.

3. Flashlight gets hot quickly:

  • This is normal behavior for high-output flashlights. The Advanced Thermal Regulation (ATR) system will automatically reduce brightness to prevent overheating.
  • If it becomes excessively hot, consider using lower brightness modes.

User Tips

  • Upon first use, remember to unscrew the tail cap and remove any protective paper or film from the battery to ensure proper function.
  • A standard cell phone charger with a USB-C cable can be used to charge the flashlight.
  • The 21700 battery is removable and can be replaced if needed.
