Intensity and run time are competing factors in the design of a hand help lighting device. Extreme intensity requires energy. The greater the intensity, the more significant the energy drain. The Turbo resolves this issue. It provides an intermittent or constant output of 920 lumens with a one hour run time for the Turbo CR and 780 lumens with a two hour run time as measured against the ANSI FL1 Standard.
The Turbo is machined from 6061 T6 aluminum. It is Type III hardcoat anodized with a matte black finish. The foamed vinyl grip provides thermal insulation and a firm hold. The Snap-Loc Clip is replaceable. It may be positioned lens up or lens down. The rotary switch selector allows the activation button to be set for Intermittent – Locked – Constant.
All contacts and springs of the Turbo are gold plated for increased conductivity. The electronic circuitry drives a Cree XP-L LED. The aluminum reflector of the Turbo is finished to produce a penetrating beam with no dark circles. Each Turbo is encased in a zippered ballistic carrier that my be used to store spare batteries or the removable pocket clip.
Dual Fuel Technology of the Turbo USB allows use of two CR123A primary cells which yield 780 lumens for two hour. The batteries are unaffected by the Turbo USB charge circuit.
Simple design. Simple operation. Sophisticated results.
