Lumintop FW21 X9L

Safety precautions

· Use only a reputable 21700 cells of known origin. Quality high drain cells (over 10A) unprotected, from S-amsung, Panasonic/San-yo, So-ny or L-G are recommended. The supported maximum length is 70.5 mm.

· Use a reliable battery charger. Never over-charge or over-discharge cells.
· Remove and recharge the cell when the low voltage indication is given by the Lamp (repeated step-downs in light level and eventual shutdown of the light).
· The extraordinary energy density that 21700 cells offers also means that hazardous conditions are created when a cell is short-circuited or damaged. Always treat cells with respect and properly dispose of damaged cells.
· The FW21 X9L is a very high-intensity flashlight. Do not point directly at a person, animal, moving vehicles or flammable materials.
· When running at higher output levels the head of the Lamp will quickly heat. This is normal. In warmer ambient conditions this
temperature may exceed 50ºC depending on your settings, so please take the necessary precautions when handling the Lamp.

Quick start

· Use a 21700 cell. Please note that the FW21 X9L requires unprotected cells.
· Unscrew the front half from the back half and insert the batter (The tail isn’t meant to disassembled). Take care with the polarity: Plus points toward the head.
· Screw the head back. The FW21 X9L blinks once to confirm it has power and is now operational. Tighten the head. Do not over-tighten.
· When you change the battery the lamp starts always at the regulated level at ~120 lm (1x7135).
· All functions are performed using the electronic tail button. And basic usage is very simple: Click for on/off, hold to change brightness.Release and hold again to change brightness the other way.
· From OFF, hold the button. The light output will ramp up from a very low level to Ceiling-Of-The-Ramp. Release the button when the required light level is reached. (The full ramp takes about 3 s.) Use a single-click at any time to turn the FW21 X9L
OFF. Please see below for further details.
· While ramping it does subtle blinks to signal: Max regulated levels (1x7135, Nx7135) and CEILING.
· The FW21 X9L has two dif ferent ramps: SMOOTH RAMP and STEPPED RAMP. You can change between them when the lamp is ON with three clicks. Each ramp has its own individual settings–for floor (lowest level), ceiling (highest level). And the stepped ramp can also have a configurable number of steps.
· TURBO is only for short times. At around 10 s you may notice it dims slowly down! The user should use it only for short periods instead of relying on thermal regulation to prevent heat damage . Full turbo is powerful enough to start fires in just a few seco nds,especially when aimed at dark-colored materials

Specifications
A small 21700 LED lamp with tail switch and a great, easy user interface.
Emitter:Single LEDs on a copper DTP MCPCB e.g. Lum-inus SBT-90 LED
Optic: Aluminum smooth reflector
Flux: >6500 lm
Intensity: ~163,800cd ANSI throw ~810m
Firmware:The FW21 X9L uses free software called Andúril, distributed under the terms of the GPL v3.
User Interfaces:
[1] By default the FW21 X9L is set to use SMOOTH RAMPING. Instant access to TURBO mode is also provided.
[2] A more conventional STEPPED RAMPING UI is available if you like discrete modes level. You can choose how many steps you want.
[3] MOMENTARY mode is useful for signaling purposes or rapidly/briefly lighting up targets.To exit this mode, physically disconnect power.
[4] MUGGLE mode uses a reduced output.
[5] It has an electronic LOCKOUT for safety, but acts also as momentary low light.
Other functions:Battery check, sunset, beacon, tactical strobe,party strobe, bike flasher, candlelight, lightning storm.
Battery:One flat-top or button-top 21700 cell. An unprotected cell is recommended. Max. length 70.5 mm. Cell is not included.
