Thank You
for buying the LionHeart, which is likely the most advanced yet intuitively utilitarian handheld
flashlight available at this time.
There is a “Belleville Spring” included with your light, which is similar to a very low dome-shaped washer in
appearance. The wide part of the dome should face the bottom of the battery tube. For convenience you may
want to apply a dab of
conductive
grease at the bottom of the battery tube to prevent the Belleville Spring from
tipping out when changing/recharging batteries.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE HEAD without reading this first –
1)
The reflector only fits over the Luxeon star one way. If you look at the bottom of the reflector around
the hole you will see two curved ridges. The two breaks between these ridges are where the leads of the
Luxeon must fit into, BUT WAIT – there are also three legs, and the leg that aligns with the CENTER of
one of those two curved ridges is the leg that MUST go into the cutout between the two soldered wire
points on the Luxeon star.
2)
Then place UCL lens on the reflector
3)
Then screw bezel down over the lens/reflector, first making certain the lens o-ring is in place.
4)
ANY deviation to the above procedure may result in mis-focusing or even permanent damage to your
LionHeart. In fact if there is no need to open up the head, it is strongly suggested that you do not.
Lastly, the LionHeart is designed to run with one Pila 150A (or S, but A is preferred) cell ONLY. In a pinch a
disposable CR123 battery w/spacer (wadded up aluminum foil will do) can be used, but any attempt to drive it
with a power source other than these mentioned may result in long term, if not immediate, damage to your light.
When the “long tube” battery accessory becomes available then the Pila 168A (or S, but A is preferred) is the
specified battery to be used for significantly extended run times.
1 Basic Operation (this is all you need to access the power, range, and versatility of the dimming feature)
a-Click the button once from OFF and it turns ON.
b-Click the button again and it turns OFF.
c-PRESS and HOLD from OFF and light goes into momentary ON, release and it turns OFF.
d-Press and hold while light is already ON, and it will scroll through all 64 brightness levels (release and re-
press to get it going the other way).
However, the LionHeart can be user configured to operate in one of two different modes. The user can change
the modes as often as desired. Now with that said…
*DISCLAIMER: IF ALL THE FUNCTIONS YOU NEED ARE DESCRIBED IN STEPS “a”
THROUGH “d” ABOVE, PLEASE STOP HERE (yeah like That’s gonna work). THE LIONHEART IS
CAPABLE OF MUCH MORE, BUT WILL REQUIRE MORE READING AND FOLLOWING
DIRECTIONS AND COMPLICATED STUFF LIKE THAT. THE THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS
THAT YOU CANNOT HURT ANYTHING AND YOU CAN ALWAYS REVERT TO THE ORIGINAL
DEFAULT DIMMING MODE BY FOLLOWING STEP 5, AND THEN 5.2, BELOW…
2 Definitions
· Click – a short, less than 0.3 seconds press and release.
· Press – a longer, greater than 0.3 seconds press and hold.
3 Default configuration (continuously variable levels
)
