Turn the lamp ON: single-click the button, the EC01 turns ON using the previously used light output level (MEM)
Ramp up; brighter: hold the button
Reverse ramp: while ramping in one direction, release button briefly and hold again
Ramp down; darker: Click, hold, when ON (means: double-click, but hold the second click a bit longer) If you do this
when the lamp is OFF, it ramps down from the CEILING (dashed double lines)
Instant top CEILING: from OFF: double-click (double lines)
TURBO: from ON: double-click toggles between turbo and the memorized level from OFF (You must first switch
ON): Click, then double-click
FLOOR / MOON mode: from OFF: Hold turns on at the FLOOR level, it makes a subtle “blink” to provide a timing
hint if you want to stay there.
If you keep holding, it ramps up
Battery check: from OFF: triple-click (4 blinks, a short pause, then 1 blink would indicate 4.1 V)
Turn the EC01 OFF: single-click
UI: Stepped ramping
Using this UI the output does not ramp, it steps from one mode to the next using hold. The firmware tries to optimize
these steps as equally-spaced on a cube-root curve (considered an ideal mode-spacing by many).
In STEPPED RAMPING you can choose how many steps you want. (See Ramp configuration for details).
All operations are the same as in smooth ramping
Switch to SMOOTH RAMP: when the lamp is ON:
Three clicks (Hint: If you use 3 clicks from OFF you engage battery check)
UI: Momentary mode
5 clicks from OFF to enter Momentary mode To exit this mode, physically disconnect power (unscrew the light).
This mode locks the flashlight into a single-mode interface where the LEDs are only on when the button is held down.
It is intended for Morse code and other signaling tasks.
Brightness is the last-ramped level, so adjust that before entering momentary mode.
UI: Muggle mode
Muggle mode is for lending the EC01 to others. It has a reduced output to make sure somebody won’t start a fire. An
extremely simple interface with a limited brightness range — ~5 lm to ~240 lm, with slow smooth ramping and no
blinkies. Persists after a battery change.
MUGGLE mode ON: from OFF 6 clicks to enter
MUGGLE mode OFF: 6 clicks to exit
One click ON / OFF and HOLD to ramp up / down.
UI: Electronic Lockout
4 clicks form OFF to disable the EC01, same to reenable the lamp.
Lockout makes the light safe to carry in a pocket or a bag or anywhere else it might be pressed by accident. Lockout
doubles also as a momentary moonlight mode, so the user can do quick tasks without having to unlock the light. It
uses the FLOOR of the current ramp.
Blinkies
Two groups worth of blinkies are included. To reach them, do “click click click” from OFF or a “click click hold” from
OFF. To change to the next blinky use a double-click. These include:
Group 1 Blinkies / utility modes:
(starts always at battcheck)
from OFF: “click click click”
BattCheck:
Shows the remaining charge in volts and tenths. E.g. 4 blinks, then pause, 1 blink are 4.1 Volt. A “zero” is
represented by a very quick blink.
Sunset / Goodnight mode:
