“ON” MODES
CAERBERUS and CAERBERUS “CAVE” can be used in three different
modes featuring different levels of light intensity, resulting in differ-
ing degrees of battery autonomy: 3 LED on (MAX), 2 LED on (MED)
and 1 LED on (MIN).
CAERBERUS “S” and “CAVE” features a central LED that balances the
flux emitted from the other two aside LED: for this reason, the MIN
mode is not applicable. CAERBERUS S has two MED modes with var-
ying light emission and power absorption: the first mode uses the 18-
watt central LED and the second mode the two 10-watt LED.
Tables 1 and 2 illustrate burn-time respectively of CAERBERUS and
CAERBERUS S at the various power intensities, in accordance with
the different canisters. The LED are controlled by the electronic
board, with microprocessor and specific firmware able to maintain a
constant light for most of the burn-time. When the battery has al-
most reached the end of its autonomy, the electronics start to man-
age the terminal phase, gradually reducing light intensity, in order to
extend remaining autonomy in accordance with the specifications
listed in tables 1 and 2.
This process is managed by specific firmware which manages battery
discharging (called
Low Voltage ) and which enables the torch to ef-
fectively use accumulated energy without “stressing” the battery.
