Introduction
The
EDC Flashlight
is your best-of-class everyday carry pocket flashlight that provides
regulated light output at a user-selected brightness. Matching the amount of light to the
task will maximize battery life - yet can still provide an intensely bright light when you
need it. A single button activates your light and easily selects the desired brightness.
You can maximize battery life by using the minimum brightness level compatible with
the task you are performing. The lowest brightness levels will help preserve your night
vision adaptation without using a red filter while still allowing you to distinguish
colors.
Your eyes respond to light in a logarithmic way. That means that a significant visible
increase in brightness requires a doubling in the amount of light - and power. The
brightness levels on your light are spaced to provide small, visually even changes in
brightness. As a rough approximation, every two levels brighter will halve the battery
life and every two levels dimmer will double the battery life. The maximum brightness
level pulls significantly more power than the rough approximation indicates and has a
much shorter battery life as a result.
The following is a summary of the available commands and will assist you in quickly
learning to use your flashlight. However, please read the rest of the User's Guide so
you will understand how each feature works.
