Notice: The above-mentioned parameters (lab-tested with 2500mAh Ni-MH batteries) are approximate and may vary between flashlights, batteries and environments.
Operation Instruction
The two tail cap switches include the large button (power switch) and the small button (mode switch).
- Momentary Activation: Press the power switch lightly.
- On/Off: Press the power switch completely to turn on the flashlight and lock it. Another press will unlock and turn it off.
- Brightness Selection: With the flashlight on, a single press on the mode switch cycles through Turbo → Low → Mid → High brightness levels.
- Strobe Mode: Press and hold the mode switch for about one second.
- SOS Mode: Press and hold the mode switch for about three seconds.
- Exit Flashing Modes: Press the mode switch once to return to the non-flashing mode when in Strobe or SOS mode.
Memory Circuit: While in general mode, the LD41 memorizes the brightness level. When turned off and then on again, the flashlight automatically enters the last used brightness level.
Overheating Protection: LD41 will accumulate a great deal of heat when working in the turbo brightness level for a long time. To avoid overheating, the flashlight will downshift from TURBO to HIGH after 25 minutes of use. If TURBO is needed for extended periods, simply reset it, recognizing heat build-up is probable.

Battery Replacement
Unscrew the light head to take out the battery holder. Insert the batteries correctly according to the polarity markings at the bottom of the battery cassette. Put the battery holder into the tube with the round side of the battery holder facing toward the light head and the groove in the side aligned with the raised tab inside the inner wall of the tube. Screw the light head back on tightly to test.
