Olight Perun specifications

Headlamps are popular among outdoor enthusiasts. They include campers, hikers, runners, and climbers. They are also for anyone needing hands-free lighting.

Body, materials, weight, colors

The Perun is small, compact, and designed for ultra-portability. Consider the length of the flashlight. It should fit comfortably in your chosen way to carry it. The aluminium body of the Perun 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. Factors can influence the color choice of the flashlight body. These include intended use, environment, personal style, and requirements.

System, LED, lens, reflector

Cree is widely regarded as a reputable LED manufacturer. Warm, white light is generally more comfortable. It's also less harsh on the eyes than cool, white light. The TIR lens of the Perun can reduce light loss. To achieve high light output, it captures and redirects much of the emitted light. The electronic switches may have a higher chance of standby drain.

Performance, flux, intensity, throw

With 2000 lm, the Perun flashlight will offer a brighter and more powerful beam of light. The Perun flashlight has 3600 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 flashlight has mode memory. It remembers the mode you were using when the light was last turned off. It stays in that mode when you turn it on again. The SOS signal is an international distress call. It indicates an urgent need for help.

Features, battery, protections

The Perun flashlight's power source is 1 x special 18650 Li-Ion battery. It provides reliable, long-lasting energy for top performance. A battery indicator is a feature. It shows the remaining power level of the flashlight's battery. The Perun flashlight can charge from a USB power source. This source can be a wall adapter, computer, power bank, or car charger. Use a protected battery. This flashlight lacks low voltage protection (LVP).

The thermal protection feature helps prevent overheating. Overheating can harm the flashlight's performance, battery, and safety. The "8" in the IPx8 rating means the highest level of protection. It is against water ingress. The Perun flashlight is magnetic. It lets you attach the flashlight to metal surfaces.

Accessories, package contents

By including a battery with the flashlight, you avoid the extra expense. You would have to buy a battery separately. The clip is very helpful. It lets you quickly access your flashlight while keeping your hands free for other tasks. Attaching a lanyard to your Perun flashlight provides an additional layer of security. It reduces the risk of accidental drops or loss.

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