Do you have a question about the OLIGHT M1X STRIKER and is the answer not in the manual?

The Olight M1X Striker is a variable-output, dual-switch LED flashlight designed for portable illumination. It features a Cree XM-L2 CW LED and offers multiple brightness levels, including Turbo, High, Mid, Low, Moonlight, and Strobe modes.

Function Description:

The M1X Striker operates with a dual-switch system: a tailcap switch and a side switch.

ON/OFF: A single click of the tailcap switch turns the flashlight on or off.
Momentary ON: A half press of the tailcap switch provides momentary illumination without clicking it fully.
Changing Brightness Levels: When the flashlight is on, a single click of the side switch cycles through Low, Medium, High, and Burst modes. To access the highest brightness level when the light is off, a double half press of the tail switch is required.
Strobe Mode: Strobe can be activated in two ways:
- When the light is off, quickly half press the tailcap switch three times. This mode is not memorized.
- When the light is on, press and hold the side switch for one second.
Moonlight Mode: To activate Moonlight mode, hold the side switch first, then press the tail switch.

The flashlight is designed for ease of use with its intuitive control scheme, allowing quick access to various light outputs for different situations. Its dual-switch design provides flexibility in operation, whether for momentary illumination or sustained use at specific brightness levels. The inclusion of a Strobe mode offers a tactical option, while the Moonlight mode provides a very low output for close-range tasks without disturbing night vision.

Usage Features:

The M1X Striker is designed for versatility and durability in various environments.

Battery Compatibility: The flashlight can be powered by either one 18650 battery or two CR123A/RCR123A batteries. A battery magazine is provided for CR123A batteries, but it is not needed when using an 18650 battery. This flexibility allows users to choose their preferred power source based on availability and runtime needs.
Battery Installation: To install batteries, unscrew the tail cap counter-clockwise and remove the battery magazine. Place the batteries into the magazine, ensuring the positive contact faces the head of the flashlight. Then, insert the magazine into the light and tighten the tail cap clockwise until secure. If using an 18650 battery, simply insert it directly into the flashlight with the positive contact facing the head, without the magazine.
Portable Design: The flashlight includes a pocket clip for convenient carrying and a lanyard hole on the tailcap for attaching a lanyard, enhancing portability and preventing accidental drops.
Robust Construction: The body is made from type III hard anodized aluminum, providing a durable and scratch-resistant finish. It features a strike bezel, which can be used for self-defense or breaking glass in emergency situations.
Environmental Resistance: The M1X Striker is rated IPX8 for waterproofing, meaning it can be submerged up to 2 meters. It also boasts an impact resistance of 1.5 meters, indicating its ability to withstand drops from a reasonable height. These features make it suitable for outdoor activities, adverse weather conditions, and demanding professional use.
Thermal Management: Users are advised to use caution on high outputs or long runtimes, as the flashlight may get hot. This indicates that the device has a powerful output and users should be mindful of its operating temperature during extended use.

Maintenance Features:

The M1X Striker comes with a comprehensive warranty and guidelines for proper care.

Warranty:
- Within 30 days of purchase: The device can be returned to the retailer for repair or replacement.
- Within 5 years of purchase: The device can be returned to Olight for repair or replacement.
- Warranty Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, modifications, misuse, disintegrations, negligence, accidents, improper maintenance, or repairs performed by anyone other than an Authorized Olight retailer. This emphasizes the importance of proper handling and professional servicing to maintain warranty validity.

- Do not mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
- Do not mix batteries of different types/brands.
- Do not use unsupported batteries with this flashlight. These warnings highlight critical battery safety practices to prevent damage to the flashlight and ensure optimal performance. Using incorrect or mixed batteries can lead to malfunction, reduced lifespan, or even safety hazards.
General Caution: Users are advised to use caution on high outputs or long runtimes as the flashlight may get hot. This is a user safety reminder and also implies that the device is designed to handle high power, but users should be aware of potential heat generation.
