Product Overview
Using the same highest quality Nichia emitter and UV-transmitting silicone Ledil lens as our NDT flashlights, this headlamp now features 2x18650 cells on the rear of the strap (rather than in a belt-worn battery compartment).
In addition, the MR8S model now features high/low*/off modes. The low mode is 50% duty cycle and has been requested by customers working in confined spaces at close distances (pipelines, etc.). Battery life is excellent (6+ hours) in normal (high) mode.
* UPDATE 05/25: The low mode can be disabled with a long (10 second) press of the power button - audio tones high-low confirm the option change. Another long press (10 seconds) of the power button will restore high/low modes - audio tones low-high confirm option change.
Features:
- USA-company regulator IC ensures consistent output.
- USA-company microcontroller operation for modes.
- Nichia 365nm emitter.
- Ledil silicone lens.
- >4000uW/cm2 at 15"
- Tenergy 18650 Li-ion cells (2 included, operation supported via 1 or 2 cells).
- Charging port (Li-ion smart charger included).
- Adjustable headband.
- Assembled in USA.
Sure, other brands have 12,000uW/cm2 at 15", but with a spot less than 2", which may not be practical. Ours has a beautiful smooth spot beam which is nearly 6" across at a 15" working distance.
Batteries can be charged in the headlamp, with the included side-port charger.
