Good to know

The beam runs 5000-6500K for a neutral-to-cool white that helps you read terrain and gear. Induction mode turns the strong light on or off with a wave of your hand near the sensor, handy when your hands are wet or gloved. Store it dry, and recharge at least every three months when it's idle to protect the battery. IPX4 means splash resistance, not submersion.
