Technical Data

Using 2 x 21700 batteries:

Note: The stated data is measured using 2 x 21700 Li-ion battery (5,000mAh) under laboratory conditions when all illuminable directions of the product are turned on.
The data may vary in real world use due to different battery usage or environmental conditions.

Using 2 x 18650 batteries:

Note: The stated data is measured using 2 x 18650 Li-ion battery (3,500mAh) under laboratory conditions when all illuminable directions of the product are turned on.
The data may vary in real world use due to different battery usage or environmental conditions.

Charging Function

Used as a Camping Lantern

Battery Installation

1. As illustrated, press and hold both the diffuser clamps located on both sides of the LR60, and pull up to remove the diffuser.
   
2. Insert the batteries according to the polarity marks on the slots. (The LR60 can also be powered with 1 x 21700/18650 battery or 2 x CR123/RCR123 batteries but with lower runtime.)
   
3. Put back the diffuser until a click is heard to indicate that the diffuser is fully clamped.

Warnings:

1. The LR60 is limited to charging button-topped 21700 Li-ion rechargeable batteries or 18650 in battery magazines only.
2. DO NOT mix batteries of different types, power levels, brands or models.

Dual Power Buttons

The LR60 is equipped with dual power buttons located on both sides of the base which perform the same functions.

On / Off

On: When the light is off, press and hold both buttons until the LOW Level is accessed.
Off: When the light is on, short press both buttons to turn it off.

Brightness Levels

When the light is on, short press either button to cycle through the following brightness levels: MID – HIGH – LOW.

Illuminable Direction Settings

The LR60 has 3 illuminable directions available (top and both sides) for different needs according to the surroundings. When the light is on, press and hold either button to cycle through the following direction settings: TOP – ONE SIDE – TOP+ONE SIDE – ALL. Release to select the current direction setting. (This function has mode memory. When reactivated, the LR60 will automatically access the LOW Level of the previous memorized direction setting.)

Special Modes (BEACON / SOS)

When the light is off, press and hold both buttons to cycle through the following modes: LOW – BEACON – SOS. Release to select the current mode. Turning off the light will exit special modes.

Location Indication

The LR60 is equipped with the Location Indication. With this function turned on, the blue indicator located at the top of the product will flash once every 2 seconds to indicate the location of the LR60. When the light is on, press and hold both buttons for over 2 seconds to turn off the light and access Location Indication. With 2 x 21700 Li-ion batteries, the standby time is approx. 6 months with Location Indication turned on and approx. 12 months with this function turned off. Reactivating the LR60 will turn off this function.

Power Indication

1. When the battery is inserted, the blue indicator will flash to show the battery voltage (±0.1V). For example, when the battery voltage is at 4.2V, the power indicator will flash 4 times followed by a 1.5-second pause and 2 more flashes. Different voltages represent the corresponding remaining battery power levels:
   
   Note: This function only applies to the first put-in 1 x 21700/18650 battery or 2 x CR123/ RCR123 batteries. When using 2 x CR123/RCR123 in series, the indicator will show the average voltage between the two batteries.
2. When the light is off, short press either button and the power indicator will flash to indicate the remaining power of the batteries:
   • Flashing three times indicates that the power is above 50%.
   • Flashing twice indicates that the power is below 50%.
   • Flashing once indicates that the power is below 10%.

Note: The batteries should be replaced or recharged when the output appears to be dim or the product becomes unresponsive due to low power.

Used as a Power Bank

USB Output

The LR60 is equipped with USB output to charge an external USB device as a power bank.
Connect to an external device: Connect the LR60 to an external USB device via the USB charging cable through the USB output port to begin charging. (Output: 5V⎓3A / 9V⎓2A / 12V⎓1.5A)
Output indication: During the output process, the blue indicator will turn on constantly.
Note: The light of the LR60 will automatically turn off when the USB output power reaches too high with the light on.

USB Charging

Connect to a power source: Connect the LR60 to an external power source (a USB adapter, a power bank or other USB charging devices) via the USB charging cable through the USB input port to begin charging. (Input: 5V⎓2A / 9V⎓2A / 12V⎓1.5A)
Charging indication: During the charging process, the blue indicator will flash slowly. When the charging process is complete, the blue indicator will turn on constantly. The charging time for 2 x 21700 Li-ion batteries (5,000mAh) with fast charge is approx. 4.5 hours.
Note: The light of the LR60 is still able to turn on during the USB input process. (HIGH Level excluded)

Over-Discharged Li-ion Battery Activation

The LR60 is capable of activating over-discharged Li-ion batteries with a protective circuit. After the battery insertion, the LR60 will test and activate the batteries when necessary.

Warnings

1. 
   Possible dangerous radiation! Don't look into the light! May be dangerous for your eyes.
2. The product contains strong magnetic components. DO NOT put it close to objects that tend to suffer from magnetic interference.
3. Ensure the battery(s) is/are inserted according to the polarity marks in the battery slots. The product will not work if the battery(s) is/are incorrectly inserted.
4. The product is restricted to charging button-topped 21700 Li-ion rechargeable batteries or 18650 in battery magazines only. DO NOT use it with other types of batteries as this could result in battery explosion, cracking or leaking, causing property damage and/or personal injury.
5. Moderate heat from this product is to be expected during the charging/discharging process, which is normal.
6. Please DO NOT charge unprotected over-discharged Li-ion batteries, or it will result in fire or even battery explosions.
