Explosion Proof Black Light-365nm UV Cut Off Lens C1D1&2 & C2D1&2-Gen 2 Instruction Manual When starting the flashlight for the first time (cold start), it is recommended that user allows HID to power up to full (40-60 seconds) before powering off again. This allows the lamp time to achieve a temperature hot enough to vaporize the additives and prevent deposits from forming on the inner arc chamber walls. When powering up, it is normal for the lamp to “flicker”, this is the result of the metal salts in the arc chamber vaporizing. You will also see a slight shade of red and blue. As the light comes to temperature the flickering will subside, the arc will stabilize and the light output will increase. The Light emitted from the flashlight is a higher Kelvin temperature (blue in color) than ordinary flashlights. Full light output occurs in 10-15 seconds. If momentary shut off of the light is needed you can instantly restart the light without worry of damage or cool down. It is suggested not to “flash” the light, as this will shorten run time and lamp life. CHARGING THE FLASHLIGHT 1. Before charging, power off the HID flashlight. It is to remain powered off while charging. 2. Charger stand required to charge EP batteries. Open the rubber waterproof cover located at the bottom of the light (on end cap), connect the male jack of charger to the female receptacle of the flashlight. CAUTION: Use only the supplied flashlight chargers; do not use other chargers as this will cause battery failure, overheating and possibly explosion. 3. Connect the charger plug to AC wall power or the DC power source (if DC charger is being used) . 4. Charging time will be approximately 2.5 hours. 5. When the charge is complete, (indicated by Green LED), unplug the charger from the power source and disconnect the battery jack from the flashlight. Replace the rubber cap of the female receptor (on end cap) to prevent water from seeping in. 6. The optional Battery Charger Stand may be used to charge a spare Lithium Battery with either the AC or DC battery chargers. NOTE: When charging for long periods of time, the charger and battery will get hot. This is normal. If excessive heat or odor is noticed, disconnect the charger immediately. The charger uses a 2-color LED indicator (Red and Green): 􀁸 When connecting power, the LED will illuminate Green. 􀁸 While charging, the LED will illuminate Red. 􀁸 When fully charged, the LED will again illuminate Green. Do not leave the light or battery on charger past full charge or the overcharge circuit protection will activate. Please refer to “Battery Charging Notice” section, if light fails to ignite after a full recharge.

Replacement of the lithium battery module is as follows: 1. To remove the battery: Turn off the power; carefully rotate the battery counter clockwise away from the ballast housing. 2. To replace the battery: Be careful to line up the battery with the ballast and rotate the battery clockwise on to the ballast housing, be careful not to cross thread. Tighten snugly. 3. DO NOT FORCE OR OVER TIGHTEN as damage will occur and you will void your warranty. NOTICE: While replacing the battery, please make sure that your flashlight is in the “OFF” position; otherwise damage can result to the lithium battery, electronic ballast and electrical connection between ballast and lamp. LAMP AND BALLAST REPLACEMENT CAUTION NOTICE: Before replacing lamp, make sure the light is “OFF” for a minimum of 10 minutes or longer to ensure any stored power has dissipated, to avoid electric shock from stored energy in the ballast, and temperature of lens has cooled enough to avoid being burned from high temperature. The lens cap has a “fine thread”. Grasp the lamp-head-housing (serrated edge behind len

FAQs

How should the flashlight be started on the first cold start to prevent deposits?

Allow the HID lamp to power up to full output for 40–60 seconds before powering off again. This warm-up time helps reach a temperature that vaporizes additives and helps prevent deposits on inner arc chamber walls.

What are the LED colors on the charger and what do they indicate?

The charger’s two-color LED shows Green when power is connected, Red while charging, and Green again when the battery is fully charged. Unplug and disconnect after full charge to avoid overcharge protection triggering.

What safety precautions apply before replacing the lamp or ballast?

Ensure the light is OFF for at least 10 minutes to dissipate stored energy and allow the lens to cool, reducing shock and burn risk. During lamp replacement, avoid dropping components and do not cross-thread or force the lens cap to prevent damage and warranty voiding.
