The Array headlamp provides hands-free lighting. By wearing this headlamp on your head or helmet, you can direct the light wherever you look, leaving your hands free to perform tasks or activities. TIR lenses of the Array are engineered to optimize optical efficiency by reducing light scattering and minimizing lens artifacts. This light has 4 modes of lighting. With mode memory, when you turn off the Array and then turn it back on again, it will automatically activate the mode that was last used before it was turned off. In addition to USB charging, the Array may also support other charging methods such as solar panels or hand-cranked mechanisms.

Olight Array (ARRAY) specifications

Headlamps are versatile lighting tools that provide convenience, hands-free operation, and illumination in a wide range of activities and environments. Whether you're exploring the great outdoors or working on projects in low-light conditions, a headlamp can be a valuable accessory to have.

Body

The 124 g flashlight is generally comfortable to hold for extended periods and easy to carry in pockets or bags. They are suitable for various applications such as camping, hiking, or emergency situations. A 120-gram flashlight strikes a good balance between functionality, convenience, and weight. The ideal length of a flashlight depends on personal preference, intended use, and the specific features and functionality you're looking for.

The aluminium bodies can be anodized, providing a protective layer and a wide range of color options for flashlight bodies. Anodizing enhances the corrosion resistance, hardness, and scratch resistance of the aluminum, while also allowing for a variety of attractive finishes. The body of Array flashlight treated with a Type III hard-anodized, anti-abrasive finish. This flashlight features a captivating black color.

System

Cree LEDs are commonly used in a wide range of lighting applications. Their products are trusted by lighting professionals and have gained a strong reputation for quality and performance. The choice of color temperature depends on the specific lighting application and personal preferences. This TIR lens offers flexibility in achieving various beam patterns, from wide-angle illumination to focused spotlights, depending on the specific design of the lens. The Array has electronic switch. Some flashlights with electronic switches have programmable features that allow users to customize the behavior of the flashlight. This may include setting specific modes, configuring brightness levels, or enabling unique functions according to individual preferences.

Performance

If you mainly need a flashlight for basic tasks like finding keys, navigating in dimly lit areas, or occasional use around the house, 400 lm can be adequate. 1600 cd can provide a reasonable level of luminous intensity for many everyday lighting tasks. The throw distance refers to the maximum distance at which the flashlight can effectively illuminate an object or target. The stated throw distance typically indicates the point at which the brightness falls below a specified threshold, such as 0.25 lux. Flashlights with a higher cd/lm ratio typically excel in long-range throw and focused beam applications, while flashlights with a lower cd/lm ratio may provide a wider and more evenly distributed beam for closer-range illumination or general-purpose use.

Software

Modes on a flashlight refer to different output settings or levels of brightness that can be selected to suit different needs and preferences. The Array has mode memory. Mode memory means that the flashlight will remember the mode you were using when the light was last turned off, and when you turn it on again. SOS mode of the Array produces a specific sequence of long and short flashes to signal distress or emergency situations. It is commonly used in outdoor adventures or survival scenarios.

Features

The Array flashlight utilizes integrated 2000mAh Li-Ion battery as its power source. The Array has a battery indicator. A battery indicator is a feature that provides information about the remaining power level of the flashlight's battery. It helps users monitor the battery status and estimate how much runtime they have left before the battery needs to be recharged or replaced. USB rechargeable flashlights have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their convenience and sustainability.

LVP (Low Voltage Protection) is designed to protect the battery from being over-discharged, which can lead to reduced battery life or even permanent damage. This flashlight doesn't have built-in temperature control. Flashlights without thermal protection may rely on other design elements for heat dissipation, such as heat sinks, fins, or body materials with good thermal conductivity.

Accessories

The performance of the Olight Array flashlight is measured according to the ANSI / NEMA FL1 Standard 30 seconds after switching the light on. The ANSI/NEMA FL1 2009 Standard is a set of flashlight performance guidelines.
