X1S Pharos 2025 (Reflector Version)

Adventure-Ready Illumination. 

Introducing the X1S Pharos 2025. We've refined our popular pocket thrower with all new body color options and an updated magnetic tail-cap for added versatility. We're offering a new precision crafted aluminum alloy orange-peel reflector option, delivering a smooth, powerful throw. 

Paired with the unmatched Lume X1 high-efficiency boost driver, the X1S Pharos 2025 is your ultimate pocket companion.

Aluminum OP Reflector

The X1S Pharos is available in both TIR or OP Reflector optics (swappable) to best suit your illumination needs. Please note that the aluminum OP reflector has been optimized for 5050-sized emitters including the FFL5009R, CREE XHP50.3 HI or SFT70. Note that 7070-sized emitters (XHP70.3 HI or FFL707A) may produce slight beam artifacts when shone close-up on a white wall.

FFL5009 Emitter Option

For the X1S 2025, we are introducing the FFL5009R, a new 5050-sized high-intensity emitter. This is a high-performance quad-die emitter with the same high CRI (~95) you expect with FFL emitters. The FFL5009 is designed to have high R9 values while being close to neutral for a balanced, beautiful color rendering.

User Interface: (Anduril V2)

This flashlight uses the open-sourced Anduril user interface. Anduril 2 is an open-sourced software and distributed under the terms of GPLv3. The source can be accessed here. 

By default, this flashlight begins in Simple UI with 5 brightness levels. Enter the hidden Advanced UI to access additional features and more configuration options. Details can be found in Anduril User Guide. 

Charging

X1S Pharos features an intelligent 10W battery charger. For optimal charging, use a USB-C port that can source at least 5V 3A. Upon the start of charging, the side-switch illuminates red. When charging is complete, the red indicator turns off. A flashing red indicator indicates a charge fault.

For battery safety, cells below 3V are pre-charged at 100mA before the full 10W charge starts, transitioning to constant voltage, and ending with trickle-charging. The charger includes a 10-hour safety timer to prevent extended charging.

While not recommended, the flashlight may be used while charging, but if operated at higher power levels than the charging rate, the battery will not be charged. 

Battery Level Indicator

Anduril2 UI uses the front RGB auxiliary LEDs to indicate the current battery level upon turn-off. The colors correspond as follows:

This post-off display can be turned off or configured in Anduril. 

Operation Notes

• The X1S Pharos is a high-performance flashlight and can generate a lot of heat during operation. Please understand that this is not a toy and should be handled with safety.
• 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 slightly 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.
