Note:
1.The stated data is measured by using a 21700 i Series rechargeable Li-ion battery (5,500mAh), in accordance with the international flashlight testing standards ANSI/PLATO FL 1-2019, at an ambient temperature of 26°C (79°F) from the NITECORE Lab. The data may vary in real world use due to different battery usage or environmental conditions.
2.When LUMIN SHIELD® / STROBE / SEARCH is activated, the flashlight will automatically adjust the brightness to prevent overheating and prolong the lifespan of the flashlight. To restore the previous brightness, simply reactivate LUMIN SHIELD®/ STROBE / SEARCH.
* The max outputs of LUMIN SHIELD®, SEARCH, and STROBE are only accessible when using NITECORE 21700 i Series batteries with an output over 15A.
* The data is tested without the temperature regulation.
