SafetyPrecautions
 Paycloseattentiontotheproperinstallationofthebattery.Incorrectinstallationcouldresultinshort
circuitwhenthetailcapistightened,riskingfireandcausingdamagetoTS21.Alwayscheckatleastthree
timesthatthenegativeendofthebatteryisvisibleatthetube’sendbeforescrewingthetailcapback
on.
 Duetothehighenergydensityoflithium‐ionbatterieshazardousconditionsarecreatedwhenacellis
short‐circuitedordamaged.Alwaystreatbatteriescarefullyand properly dispose of any damaged
batteries.
 ConnecttheincludedUSB‐Cchargingcabletoa5V2AUSBchargerandrechargeTS21whenthelow
voltageindicationisgiven.Thisindicationisanuncommandeddropinthelight’sbrightness,oramode
changeandalowoutputlevel.Eventuallythelightoutputwillextinguish.Thebatteryvoltagemaybe
measuredusingtheBattCheckfeature.
 TS21isaveryhigh‐intensityflashlight.Neverpointitdirectlyataperson,animal,ormovingvehicles
Please do not allow children to play with it. Strobe mode may cause seizure in persons with
photosensitiveepilepsy.
 Whenrunningathigheroutputlevelstheheadoftheflashlightwillheatupquickly.Thisisnormal.In
warmerambientconditionsthistemperaturemayeasilyexceed45°Cdependingon yoursettings,so
pleasetakethenecessaryprecautionswhenhandlingTS21.
 Avoid hitting or dropping the flashlight. Be careful when usingmaximumbrightnessathighcustom
temperaturesettingsinordertoavoidburningyourhands.
QuickStart
 Unscrewthetailcaptoinsertone21700batterywiththeanodeside(+)towardsthehead,thenscrew
thetailcapbackon.TS21willblinkoncetoconfirmithaspowerandistoperational.Donotover‐tighten
thetailcap.Whenyouchangethebatterytheflashlightalwaysstartsattheregulatedlevel(1x7135).
 Allfunctionsarecontrolledusingtheelectronicsideswitch.Basicusageisverysimple.Clickforon/off,
holdtochangebrightness.Release the button and hold again to change brightness in the other
direction.
 Inthismanual,clickispresstheswitchandrelease,whileholdispresstheswitchuntilyougetthe
desiredresult,thenrelease.Oftenthelastofaseriesofbuttonpressesisahold,soclick,click,hold,is
todepresstheswitchandreleasetwice,anddepressathirdtimeuntilthedesiredresult.Thiswould
bethesameas3HintheUserInterfacediagram.Formultipleclicks,theyneedtobewithinacouple
tenthsofasecond.Notlightingfast,butfairlyquick.
 FromOFF,holdthebuttontoturnitoninthelowestlevel.TS21’soutputwillrampupfromaverylow
leveltomaximumoutput.Releasethebuttonwhenthedesiredlightoutputlevelisreached.Thefull
ramptakesabout3s.Useasingle‐clickatanytimetoturnTS21OFF.TheOperationInstructionssection
ofthismanualdescribesallthefeaturesofTS21.
 Whileramping TS21blinksto indicate thelowest brightness level (subsequentlycalled FLOOR inthis
manual)andhighestbrightnesslevel(subsequentlycalledCEILINGinthismanual).
 TS21hastwodifferentrampmodes;SMOOTHRAMPandSTEPPED RAMP.You canchange between
themwhenTS21isONwiththreeclicks.EachrampmodehasitsownindividualsettingsforFLOORand
CEILING. The stepped ramp has a user configurable number of steps of output brightness. Further
explanationofhowtoconfiguretherampparameters,aswellasadditionalTS21capabilitiesarefound
laterinthismanual.

 TURBOismeantforshortbursts,only.Afteraroundaminuteyoumaynoticeitdimsslowlydown.Use
itonlyforshortperiodsinsteadofrelyingonthermalregulationtopreventheatdamage.Fullturbois
powerfulenoughtostartfiresinjustafewseconds,especiallywhenaimedatdark‐coloredmaterials.
IntegratedCharger
TS21usesanintegratedUSB‐Cchargingportforconvenientrechargingofitsbattery.Pleaseconnectit
withaqualityUSB‐CcableanduseaUSBpoweradapterwith5V2A.WhilechargingtheLEDpower
indicatorflashesred.Oncefinishedtheindicatorwillturngreentoindicateafullbattery.

CyclebetweenSTEPPEDandSMOOTHRAMP: withTS21ON,threeclicks
UI:SteppedRamping
This mode provides a programmable number of brightness steps between the floor and ceiling of the
steppedramprange.Thefirmwaretriestooptimizethespacingbetweenthesestepsasequally‐spacedon
acuberootcurve(consideredanidealmode‐spacingbymany).InSTEPPEDRAMPINGyoucanchoosehow
manystepsyouwant.(Seerampconfigurationfordetails).Alloperationsarethesameasinsmoothramping.
CyclebetweenSTEPPEDandSMOOTHRAMP: withTS21ON,threeclicks
UI:MomentaryMode
ThismodelocksTS21intoasingle‐modeinterfacewheretheLEDsareonlyonwhenthebuttonishelddown.
ItisintendedforMorsecodeandothersignalingtasks.Brightnessisthelast‐rampedlevel,soadjustthat
beforeenteringmomentarymode.

afewseconds,clickingthebuttonwillspeeduptheprocess).
UI:MuggleMode
Mugglemodeisfor simplifyingthe UIforusers whowant aeasierexperience.It hasreduced maximum
outputbrightnessandlessfunctionality.Itisanextremelysimpleinterfacewithalimitedbrightnessrange,
withslowsmoothrampingandnoblinkies.Itpersistsafteracellchange.
MUGGLEmodeenable:6clicksfromOFFtoenter
OperationinMugglemodeislimitedto:  oneclickON/OFFandHOLDtorampup/down.

UI:ElectronicLockout
LockoutmodepreventsaccidentalTS21activation.Lockoutmodealsodoublesasamomentarydimlight,so
theusercandoquicktaskswithouthavingtounlocktheflashlight.ItusestheFLOORofthecurrentramping
modeasthelightlevel.Withclick,holdyoucanusetheFLOORoftheotherrampingmode.
ElectronicLockoutenable: 4 clicks from OFF to enable the electronic lockout. OperationinElectronic

smoothorstepped).
ElectronicLockoutdisable: 4clicksfromOFFtodisabletheelectroniclockout.
Blinkies&Strobes
Twogroupsofblinkiesareincluded.Toenterthem,doeithera3clicks(3C)fromOFFora“2clicksandhold”
(3H)fromOFF.Tochangetothenextblinkymodedouble‐click.Theseinclude:
Group1Blinkies/utilitymodes:
(alwaysstartsfromBattCheck)fromOFF:3clicks.
 BattCheck:
Showstheremainingchargeinvoltsandtenths,e.g.4blinks,thenpause,1blinkare4.1Volt.A"zero"is
representedbyaveryquickblink.ItisrecommendedthatiftheBattCheckrevealsthecellvoltageat3.1Volt
orlower,itistimetorechargethebatteries.ToexitBattCheckeitheroneclickforoff,ortwoclicksforSunset
/Goodnightmode.
 Sunset/Goodnightmode:
Startsatalowlevel,thenslowlydimsdowntomoonoverthecourseofanhour,thenshutsoff.Itisintended
forusewhengoingtobed.ToexitSunset/Goodnightmode,oneclickforoff,twoclicksforBeacon.
 Beacon:
Beaconmodeusesthelastrampedlevelforitsbrightness.Youmustadjustthebrightnessbeforeyouturn
beaconon.Itblinksataslowspeed:OnceeveryNsecondsatthelast‐rampedlevel.
Nisconfigurableinbeaconconfigmode:Click4timestoenterbeaconconfigmode.TS21willflashonce,
thenthelightoutputwillflickerforabout3seconds.Duringtheflicker,clicktoenterthenumberofseconds
perblink.Forexample,todoa10‐secondalpinebeacon,click10times.TS21willkeepflickeringuntilthe
userstopsclicking,sothereisnoneedtohurry.
Note:Ifyouwantfasterblinkspersecondusepartystrobemodeandsetittothreeblinkspersecondor
more
 TempCheck:
BlinksoutthecurrenttemperatureindegreesC.andoptionallyconfiguresettingsforthermalregulation.
E.g.3blinks,thenpause,4blinkare34degreesCelsius.A"zero"isrepresentedbyaveryquickblink.This
numbershouldbeprettyclosetowhatarealthermometersays.Ifnot,itwouldbeagoodideatoclick4
timestoenterthermalconfigmodeandcalibratethesensor.
Group2Strobes:
(remembersthelast‐usedmode)fromOFF:"click,click,hold”
Clickthreetimes,butholdthethirdclickuntilthestrobemodestarts.Tochangetothenextstrobemode
useadouble‐click.
Tosetadjustmentsyoucanuse:
Hold:  Increasebrightnessorstrobefaster.(exceptlightning)
Click,hold: Reducesbrightnessorstrobeslower.(exceptlightning)


 Candlemode:
Simulatesaflickeringcandleorfireplace,untilyouswitchtheflashlightoff.
Oryouaddtimerfor30min:Eachtripleclickadds30minincludingaburndownsimulationattheend.Candle
modetimercangoforupto4.5hours.Ithasadjustablebrightnessasdescribedatthebeginningofthe
Strobessection.
 Bikeflasher:
Steadyoutputwitha“stutter”oncepersecond.Itisdesigned tobemorevisiblethananormalramping
mode,butotherwiseworksmostlythesame.Ithasadjustablebrightnessasdescribedatthebeginningof
theStrobessection.
 Partystrobe/TacticalStrobe:
Motion‐freezingstrobe.Itcanbeusedtofreezespinningfansandfallingwater.Ithasanadjustablespeed.
Holdtoincreasespeed,clickandholdtodecreasestrobespeed.Outputbrightnesslevelisthemaximum
level.
 Lightningstormmode:
Flashesatrandombrightnessandrandomspeedtosimulatelightningstrikesduringabusylightningstorm.
TS21canrandomlyflashatfullpowerinthismode.Lookingdirectlyattheflashlightinthismodewithdark
adaptedvisioncouldcausediscomfort.

Note:Theeffectisbiggerifyouuseadiffuser.Lightningstormisalsomorefunwithadiffuser.Diffuserissold
separately.
GeneralConfiguration
Everyconfigmodeusethesameinterface.Ithasoneormoreoptionstheusercanset,anditwillgothrough
itsconfigurationnumbersinorder.TS21confirmseachclickwithablink.
Foreachmenuitem,thelightwillfollowthesamepattern:
 Blinkoneormoretimes=configurationnumber
Toindicatewhichsettingyouarein.Allconfigmenus“fallthrough”withnochangesifyoudon’tpressthe
button.
 “flicker”=TS21waitsforinput
Flickerisachangingquicklybetweentwobrightnesslevelsforabout3seconds.TheUsercanclickoneor
moretimestoenteranumber.TS21willkeepflickeringuntiltheuserstopsclicking,sothereisnoneedto
hurry.
 Pauseandthengotothenextoption
After the light has gone through all of the menu options, TS21 will return to the mode it was in before
enteringtheconfigmode.
RampConfiguration
BoththeSMOOTHRAMPandtheSTEPPEDRAMPareconfigurable.TheusercansettheFLOOR(lowest
level),theCEILING(highestlevel),andforSTEPPEDmodeonly,thenumberofsteps.Foreithermodethere
are150outputlevels.Thelowestbrightnessislevel1,andthehighestislevel150.

WhiletheTS21isONinoneoftherampingmodes,click4timestoenterRAMPCONFIGURATIONforthe
currentramp.
ForSMOOTHRAMPING,thereare2menuoptions:
1. Floor
2. Ceiling



ForSTEPPEDRAMPING,thereare3menuoptions:
1. Floor
2. Ceiling
3. Numberofsteps
Foreitherramp,toconfigurethefloorlevel,whenTS21outputbeginstoflickerafteroneflash,clickthe
buttonequalto the number of ramplevels(outof150)atwhichthefloorshouldbe.Tosetthelowest
possiblelevel,clickonce(MOON).Noclickswillresultinnochangetothecurrentlevel.
Foreitherramp,toconfiguretheceilinglevel,whenTS21outputbeginstoflickeraftertwoflashes,each
clickgoesonelevellower.So1clicksetsthehighestpossiblelevel,2clicksisthe2nd‐highest,3clicksisthe
3rd‐highestlevel,etc.Ceilingclicks:151–(levelyouwant)=Clicks.Tosetavalueof130/150,click21times.
Noclickswillresultinnochangetothecurrentlevel.
Forthesteppedramping,whenTS21outputbeginstoflickerafterthreeflashes,eachclickrepresentsthe
numberofstepsbetweenthefloorandtheceiling.Thevaluecanbeanythingfrom2to150.Noclickswill
resultinnochangetothecurrentnumberofsteps.
Thermalconfiguration
Lookatathermometertocheckthecurrentroomtemperature.Letusassumeitsays21Celsius.Turnthe
lightoffandwaitforitstemperaturetosettletoroomtemperature.
GotoTempCheck(fromOFF:“ClickClickClick”.Ascendwithdouble‐clicksthreetimes).
WhenyouareinTempCheck,thenclick4timestoenterthermalconfigmodeandcalibratethesensor.
Thermalconfigmodehastwosettings:
1.Currenttemperaturecalibration.ClickonceperdegreeCtocalibrate
thesensor.Forourexample,theambienttemperatureis21°C=click21
times.
2.Temperaturelimit.Thissetsthemaximumtemperaturethelightcan
reach before it will start doing thermal regulation to keep itself from
overheating.Clickonceper degreeCabove 30. For example, tosetthe
limitto50°C,click20times.Thedefaultis45°C(15clicks).
Hint:Ifyoudon’tclick,theflashlightwillleavethevalueunchanged.The
lowestvaluetheusercansetis31°Cbyclickingonce.
SwitchBackLight
TheswitchLEDcanbeconfiguredtododifferentthingswhilethemainemittersareoff.Thereisonemode
fortheregularOFFmode,andanothermodeforLOCKOUTmode.Thisallowstheusertoseeataglance
whetherthelightislocked.
SwitchLEDmodestypicallyinclude:
Off Low High Blinking
ToconfiguretheLEDs,gotothemodeyouwanttoconfigureandthenclickthebuttonafewtimes:
OFFmode:  7clicks
LOCKOUTmode: 3clicks
ThischangetheLEDstothenextmodeonthislight.TheswitchLEDstaysonwhilethemainemittersareon.
ItsbrightnesslevelissetinawaywhichmirrorsthemainLED‐off,loworhigh.

ProtectionFeatures
Some features which aren’t visible on the diagram: Andúril includes low voltage protection (LVP) and
thermalregulation.
LVPmakesthelightstepdowntoalowerlevelwhenthebatteryislow,andifthelightisalreadyatthe
lowestlevel,itshutsitselfoff.Thisactivatesat2.8V.LVPadjustmentshappensuddenly,inlargesteps.
Thermalregulationattemptstokeepsthelightfromoverheatingandotherwiseadjustsoutputtostayas
closeaspossibletotheuser‐configuredtemperaturelimit.Thermaladjustmentshappengradually,insteps
sosmalltheyaredifficultforhumanstoperceive.Itrampssmoothlyacross512internalsteps(from1x7135
tofullpower)toadjustoutputwhileitsearchesforthehighestlevelitcanmaintainwithoutoverheating.
UsageofTS21
YoucandoalittlebitmorewithyournewTS21…
TS21LOCKOUTmodedoublesasamomentarymoonmode.Thatway,afterlockingitandtossingitinabag,
itcanstillbeusedtolookaroundinsidethebagwithoutunlockingit.
Lockoutusesmoonlightasthefloorofthecurrentrampor,byusingclickthenhold,theflooroftheother
ramp.Ifyouhavetwodifferentsettingsforthis,youcanhavedifferentilluminationalso.
OryoucanuseMugglemodeifyouwantasaferwaytocarryyourflashlightwithareducedoutputanddon’t
wantlockout.
Whileon,adoubleclicktogglesbetweenturboandthememorizedlevel.So,ifyouwantfullpowerfora
moment,doubleclick.Whenyou’redone,doubleclickagaintoreturntotheoriginalbrightness.
TocustomizeyourTS21youcanadjusttheFLOORandCEILINGlevelsofthetworamps.Let’ssayyourfavorite
modeissmoothramping,buttosavethecellchargeyouwanttolimitthemaximumoutputbrightnesslevel.
Youcanchooselevel101(50clicksduring)forthesmoothrampceiling.Thiskeepstheceilingatalower
level.Smoothrampflooronlevel1forareallydimmoonlight.Youcanset20clicksforsteppedfloorfora
usablelowoutdoors.And130forsteppedceilingifyoualsoliketohaveapowerfulceiling.
Ifyouclickzerotimes,thefloororceilingvaluedoesn’tchange.Thisisgreatbecauseyoucanchangejust
thefloorortheceilingwithoutreprogrammingtheother.
FAQs
Youtriedtoconfigureyourflashlightandnowitisonlyworkingifyoupressthebutton.
Whenyoupress4xfromOFFyoulockoutTS21.Pressfourtimesagaintounlock.Whenyouwanttoconfigure
TS21itmustbeON,thenclickfourtimes.
IfIturnonusingmoonshortcut,itwon’tmemorizemoon.
Inshort:theTS21hasonlymemoryifyouramptoavalue.
Itdoesn’tmemorizethefloor,ceiling,orturbolevelswhenthey’rereachedbyashortcut.Thisisonpurpose,
becausepeopledidn’tlikelosingtheirmemorizedlevelafterusingmoonorturbo.Tomakeitremember
moon,theusermustramptoit…typically,byrampingupalittlethenbackdown.Basically,itbehavesthat
waybecausethat’swhatpeopleaskedfor.
