4. Operating Instructions

The flashlight features two distinct push buttons for controlling the Area (flood) and Spot (throw) beams, along with special modes.

Power On/Off and Mode Selection:

  • Area Beam (Flood): Press the button with the wider beam icon once to turn on the Area beam. Subsequent presses will cycle through Low, Medium, and High settings. Press again to turn off.
  • Spot Beam (Throw): Press the button with the narrower beam icon once to turn on the Spot beam. Subsequent presses will cycle through Low, Medium, and High settings. Press again to turn off.
  • Boost Mode: To activate Boost mode (1200 lumens), long-press either button. This mode provides maximum brightness for approximately 40 seconds, after which it will revert to the previously selected mode to prevent overheating.
  • Strobe Mode: To activate Strobe mode, double-click either button. Double-click again or press once to turn off.
  • Simultaneous Use: The Area and Spot beams operate independently. Activating one will not automatically turn off the other, unless Boost mode is engaged, which uses both LEDs at full power.
