NovaTac 85P/120P Flashlight User's Guide

August 8, 2013

Introduction

The EDC Flashlight is your best-of-class everyday carry pocket flashlight that provides

regulated light output at a user-selected brightness. Matching the amount of light to the

task will maximize battery life - yet can still provide an intensely bright light when you

need it. A single button activates your light and easily selects the desired brightness.

You can maximize battery life by using the minimum brightness level compatible with

the task you are performing. The lowest brightness levels will help preserve your night

vision adaptation without using a red filter while still allowing you to distinguish

colors.

Your eyes respond to light in a logarithmic way. That means that a significant visible

increase in brightness requires a doubling in the amount of light - and power. The

brightness levels on your light are spaced to provide small, visually even changes in

brightness. As a rough approximation, every two levels brighter will halve the battery

life and every two levels dimmer will double the battery life. The maximum brightness

level pulls significantly more power than the rough approximation indicates and has a

much shorter battery life as a result.

The following is a summary of the available commands and will assist you in quickly

learning to use your flashlight. However, please read the rest of the User's Guide so

you will understand how each feature works.
