Description

Introducing the new L70 Helios. 

From outdoor adventures to everyday work, the L70 Helios right-angle flashlight is your workhorse companion. We paired efficient optics with the unparalleled Lume X1 boost driver for long runtimes. Magnets at the tail, side, and a headlamp attachment allow for flexible use. We built this flashlight for you to get things done. 

Note (Oct 2024) - Please note that for the current batch of Navy Blue, there are some slight color differences in the tail cap due to anodization tolerances. Please refer to the video above.

Operation Notes

  • L70 Helios is a high-performance flashlight capable of up to 40W and generates a lot of heat. Please understand that this is not a toy and should be handled with safety.
  • L70 uses the high-performance Lume X1 driver. For best performance, use high-drain unprotected flat-top 21700 Lithium-ion cells only. Recommend cells include Molicel P42, P45, P50, or Samsung 40T, 50S, or Vapcell T50.
  • Batteries and external charger are not included.
  • To prevent accidental activation of the flashlight, it is recommended to lock-out the flashlight (4 clicks from off to lock or unlock) before storage or unscrew the body a quarter turn as a mechanical lock-out. 
  • This flashlight has low-voltage protection which cuts off power at 2.8V. It is recommended to begin recharging the cell before this happens to increase battery longevity. 
  • The Lume X1 driver (Rev B with AVR32DD20 MCU) features UPDI flashing pads for advanced users to perform their own firmware updates or to flash custom firmware binaries.
