1. Basic information
1.1 Documentation
1.1.1 Product identification
The CE label attests that your device meets the safety requirements of EU directives
2006/95/EC and 2004/108/EC.
1.1.2 Labelling concept for integrated text and references
Dangerous situation that may result in injury or death, if not avoided
Dangerous situations that may result in minor to moderate injuries if not avoided.
Designates information that may cause property damage, for example, but not personal
injuries.
1.2 Areas of application
The FlashLED is a modern work and inspection lamp with an emergency light function, which can be used for a
variety of applications. For example:
industrial, trade fair and exhibition halls
hangars, depots, operations rooms
schools, sports facilities and parks
civil defence/military facilities, fire departments and municipal facilities
police, security and maintenance personnel
shopping centres, public buildings
road and rail vehicles
It is especially suitable for use as a work light, such as during repairs, for deployments at night, particularly for
situations in which the lamp needs to be dimmed, i.e. with varying intensity of the light output.
The powerful and energy-efficient FlashLED lights, with the latest LED technology, offer a wide range of
application possibilities as work and inspection lamps with an emergency light function.
The FlashLED lamp must not be used in environments where there is a risk of explosion.
Flammable gases or smoke constitute a serious safety risk.
The FlashLED charging station can be mounted on normal flammable materials.

Basic features and advantages of the FlashLED:
Latest lithium-ion technology for high energy density and maximum durability
(up to 1000 cycles possible, no memory effect)
GIFAS Battery Management System for monitoring and verifying all important battery operating parameters
(charge level, temperature, charging/discharging, etc.)
Delivered in energy-saving mode, allowing a very high storage time (>1 year)
Short charging time
Up to 9 hours of light in four selectable lighting modes
Memory function –the last setting is retained
Flash function
Low light mode
High protection type for lamp and charging station
Robust housing made of polyamide
