Intensity
1-999 cd
The Effective Intensity of the lantern is displayed in
units of candela. This is a measure of the lantern’s
apparent brightness, and is calculated internally
using the Schmidt-Clausen formula. Maximum
effective Intensity may be limited by the Flash
Character selected. Entering a value that is too
high will result in an error message (Err).

ALC
Automatic Light
Control Settings
on
When ALC mode is set to On, the lantern monitors
the
battery pack’s state-of-charge and reduces the
intensity level if the lantern is not receiving
sufficient solar energy to maintain the battery pack.
ALC is designed to prolong battery life in the event
of unusually poor weather over an extended period
of time, or excessive bird fouling of the solar panel.
