Lumintop EDC AA specifications

The EDC AA flashlight allows you to light dark areas. It helps you find hazards or stop threats by shining light on them.

Body, materials, weight, colors

The EDC AA is small, compact, and designed for ultra-portability. A smaller flashlight is easier to carry in a pocket, bag, or pouch. This makes it more convenient for everyday use or when you're on the go. The aluminium body of the EDC AA has excellent thermal conductivity. This means it can effectively dissipate heat generated by the flashlight's components. Flashlight makers widely use HAIII coating. It is durable, resists corrosion, and improves grip. It also looks good. The EDC AA flashlight comes in a stylish black color.

System, LED, lens, reflector

Osram has a reputation for producing LEDs that deliver consistent quality and durability. Warm, white light is generally more comfortable. It's also less harsh on the eyes than cool, white light. The TIR lens of the EDC AA can reduce light loss. To achieve high light output, it captures and redirects much of the emitted light. The EDC AA flashlight has multiple switch options. They can be useful, adding versatility and convenience to using the flashlight.

Mechanical switches are usually robust. They resist wear and tear and work in many environments. The rear switch of the EDC AA is rugged and durable. It can withstand harsh conditions and repeated use.

Performance, flux, intensity, throw

600 lm can provide a decent amount of brightness and be suitable for many everyday tasks. The EDC AA flashlight has 6502 cd. It provides a much brighter and more intense beam. The throw is the distance in meters at which the flashlight produces a light intensity of 0.25 lux. Candela per lumen (cd/lm) measures a flashlight's beam intensity. It compares this to its total luminous flux or output.

Software, user interface, modes

A flashlight's modes are different output settings or brightness levels. They can be chosen to meet different needs and preferences. The EDC AA is tactical strobe ready. The strobe light is disorienting to the person it is aimed at, this makes it hard for them to concentrate.

Features, battery, protections

The EDC AA flashlight's power source is 1 x 14500 Li-Ion or 1 x AA NiMH battery. It provides reliable, long-lasting energy for top performance. The EDC AA cannot charge batteries. You may need an external charger to keep your battery going. The flashlight detects when the battery's voltage has dropped to a certain level. Then, it reduces or cuts off the power. The thermal protection feature helps prevent overheating. Overheating can harm the flashlight's performance, battery, and safety.

The "6" in the IP68 rating shows the level of protection. It's against solid objects, like dust and foreign particles. The "8" in the IP68 rating means the highest level of protection. It is against water ingress. The flashlight's impact resistance is its ability to withstand physical shocks. It can accomplish this without sustaining any damage.

Accessories, package contents

The clip is very helpful. It lets you quickly access your flashlight while keeping your hands free for other tasks. When using spare O-rings, follow the maker's instructions. Use their guidelines for proper installation.

According to the ANSI/NEMA FL1 Standard, we measure the performance of the EDC AA flashlight 30 seconds after switching on the light. The ANSI/NEMA FL1 2009 Standard is a set of flashlight performance guidelines.
