The EC01 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 one 21700 cell.
Unscrew the head and insert the battery. Take care with the polarity: Plus points toward the head.
Screw the head back. The EC01 blinks once to confirm it has power and is now operational. Tighten the head.
Do not over-tighten.
All functions are performed using the electronic side switch. 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 EC01 OFF. Please see below for further details.
While ramping it does subtle blinks to signal: Max regulated level (1×7135) and CEILING.
The EC01 has two different 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 a minute 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 seconds, especially when aimed at dark-colored materials.
Integrated charger
The EC01 has a USB-C charging port. Please use a premium cable and a power adapter with 5V, 2A to charge your
lamp.
While charging the switch LED is red. It goes green when charging is finished. While charging you can use Batt
Check mode from the Group 1 Blimkie’s to check the voltage level and all other flashlight functions can be used
normally when charging.
Specifications
A 21700 CREE LED lamp with side switch and a great, easy user interface.
Emitter: CREE XHP50.2(3V) LED on a copper DTP MCPCB

from
http://tiny.cc/TKAnduril
User interfaces:
1. By default the EC01 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 premium 21700 cells. Unprotected cells are recommended.
Charging: Integrated charger via USB-C
Driver: FET+1 driver. Low parasitic drain while OFF
