S2 Baton XM-L2 Flashlight
EDC (everyday carry) flashlight, powered by a 18650 battery
or 2 Cr123 3V batteries. Due to efficient Cree XM-L2 diode and PMMA TIR optics
(lens/reflex sight) it provides a beam of light of 950 lumens.
Members of armed forces will appreciate the strong backup in case of
malfunction of tactical flashlight or a headlamp.
The casing of the flashlight was made from aerospace aluminum covered with hard, anodizing in black colour.
In addition, the head of the flashlight is protected with steel crown in the
front. Such construction allowed to increase the resistance to fall damage to a
height of 1,5 m.
Implemented seals guarantee IPX8 Water Resistance. The flashlight’s head is fixed, which
reduces the risk of damage and seal breaking. Batteries are installed after
removal of the rear cap. The cap is flat and allows for the flashlight to be
put in vertical position. Additionally, the cap contains a strong magnet which allows for sticking the flashlight to
any steel surface, even to a roof or a vehicle.
The heart of the flashlight is advanced electronics which steers the power drain directed to
the XML diode. Thanks to that, the flashlight can cast light in a selected mode
with the same power until complete discharge of the battery. Active Thermal Management
system protects the diode from overheating whilst operating in the most
powerful mode. After 90
seconds it reduces the voltage
and stabilizes the light on a level of around500 lumens. After deactivation of the flashlight,
cooling off and reactivation, the flashlight will once again operate in the
most powerful mode. Electronics is also responsible for initiating different
modes and memorizing the last used mode.
The flashlight can be turned on with a button located
before the head of the flashlight, which is a comfortable and at the same time
practically unheard of solution in the case of flashlights of this size.
Modes: 10
lm/ 80 lm/ 400 lm/ 950 lm are
switched between via a long press of the on/off button when the flashlight is
turned on. Moonlight mode (0,5
lm) is initiated after pressing and holding the on/off button for around 1
second when the flashlight is turned on. This weakest level of light is a
valuable option when used during reading a map up close or when we do not want
to disturb the eye accommodation to dark. Also in everyday situations like when
we require a light source in the middle of a night and do not want to wake up a
roommate.
S2 model is furthermore equipped with
a timed on/off switch (Timer), which after prior programming turns
the flashlight off after 3 or 9 minutes.
Can be worn comfortably thanks to a spring Clip on the casing of the flashlight. It
allows to fasten the flashlight to an edge of a pocket or an equipment strap,
also to cap visor and change a simple flashlight into a headlamp.
