Provides variable brightness control.
When viewed from the rear of the
Lamp Head, rotate Ring clockwise to
increase lamp intensity, or counter-
clockwise to decrease intensity. The
intensity adjustment range is from 0%
to 100%. NOTE: The total adjustment
range of the Intensity Ring covers
approximately 90° of rotation -- do not
OPERATION:
attempt to force the Ring past the
stops at each end of this range.
b) LED Aperture Adjustment Ring:
Allows user to select from seven
different beam aperture sizes. When
viewed from the rear of the Lamp
Head, rotate the Ring counterclock-
wise to increase beam width, and
clockwise to decrease width. NOTE:
When the Aperture Ring is rotated
continuously in one direction, the
Lamp will repeatedly cycle through the
seven aperture sizes.
