Maintenance

Cleaning and Care

• Regularly clean the flashlight body with a soft, damp cloth.
• If the flashlight experiences intermittent operation, wipe the battery ends and the spring with alcohol to ensure good electrical contact.
• Keep the threads of the head and tail caps clean and lubricated with silicone grease to maintain water resistance and smooth operation.

Battery Care

• Store the flashlight with a partially charged battery if not used for extended periods.
• Avoid fully discharging the battery to prolong its lifespan.
• Use only the recommended battery type (26650 Lithium Ion) for optimal performance and safety.

Water Resistance

The SP33S is rated IPX8 waterproof, meaning it can be submerged in water up to 2 meters for 30 minutes. Ensure all caps are tightly sealed before exposing the flashlight to water.

Troubleshooting

• Flashlight does not light up:
  • Ensure the battery is inserted correctly with the positive (+) end facing the head.
  • Fully tighten both the head and tail caps. Loose connections can prevent operation.
  • Wipe the battery contacts and spring with alcohol to remove any dirt or corrosion.
  • Check if the battery is charged. Connect to a USB-C charger.
• Flashlight gets hot on Turbo mode:
  • High lumen output generates significant heat. This is normal for powerful flashlights.
  • The flashlight has built-in temperature regulation to prevent overheating. It may automatically step down brightness to protect components.
  • Reduce the brightness level if prolonged use at high output is not required.
• Intermittent operation:
  • Check battery charge level.
  • Ensure battery contacts are clean and free of debris.
  • Verify head and tail caps are securely tightened.
