OPERATING THE ELM8 FROM
EXTERNAL POWER
Light will operate best on external power if internal battery is
charged. If the light is run off wall power with an empty battery,
the extra heat generated while charging may cause the light to
operate at less than full power. For maximum lumen output, make
sure the battery is charged more than 50%.
* ELM8 will run at 6300 lumens max when plugged into AC / external DC to prevent
battery drain.
