Focusing: The flashlight features a focus ring that can be pushed up and down to seamlessly switch between a focused beam and a floodlight effect. This allows users to adjust the light spread according to their specific needs, whether for long-distance illumination or wider area coverage.
Main Switch Operation:
- Daily Use: A short press of the main switch turns the flashlight on in low light mode by default. Subsequent short presses cycle through medium light mode, high light mode, and finally turns the device off. This allows for quick and easy adjustment of brightness.

Strobe/SOS Switch Operation:
- A short press of the Strobe/SOS switch activates the strobe mode.
- Another short press switches to SOS mode.
- A third short press turns the mode off.
- Strobe Mode: This mode provides high-frequency flashing and strong light stimulation, which can be used to disorient potential threats for self-defense.
- SOS Mode: In this mode, the flashlight automatically flashes the internationally recognized SOS signal (three short flashes, three long flashes, three short flashes) to signal for help.
