(a) Power is a measure of the rate in which electrical energy is transferred within an electrical circuit
and is measured in Watts (W). For DC (Direct Current) electrical circuits it is expressed as:
Power (Watts) = Voltage (Volts, V) x Current (Amps, A)
where volts & current are instantaneous values.
(b) Peak Power is the maximum power rating of a Lantern. In an instant of time, this is the maximum
power the lantern will consume. It is determined when all a lantern’s features are on and the
LEDs intensity is at 100%.
(c) Average Power is a measure of Power over a period of time. In raw terms, it expressed as
Average Power (Watts) = Peak power (Watts) x MULTIPLIER (%),
where the
MULTIPLIER (%) = Flash Character duty cycle (%) x Intensity level (%)
(d) The SL-300 lanterns intensity setting are available in 32 steps from 0% to 100% with a step size
of 3.125% (or 1/32%)
