TECHNOLOGY FAQS


ANSI

How does LED LENSER measure and report its lighting specifications?


LED LENSER lights are measured in lumens. LED LENSER USA uses ANSI/FL1 standards
as published by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). To date, this is the only industry-wide, agreed-upon standard of measurement.




What material is used in the optic?


Polymethyl metacrylate (PMMA). PMMA is a transparent thermoplastic, often used as a light
or shatter-resistant alternative to glass.




What type of material is used in the casing?


We use T6016 aluminum as our casing material for most LED LENSER flashlights.




What type of coating is on the casing?


LED LENSER'S aluminum casings are anodized (type II, 20 micron thickness) to apply a corrosion and wear resistant coating.

Can I replace the LED?


No. The LEDs used in LED LENSER lights are soldered to electronic circuit boards and cannot be replaced.



What type of material is used on electrical contacts?


LED LENSER'S electrical contacts are hard gold plated. Gold is a superior conductor and resists corrosion.




Can my LED LENSER use disposable lithium AA and AAA batteries?


Yes, disposable lithium AA and AAA batteries batteries can be used in LED LENSER lights. Disposable lithium batteries can optimize battery life (especially in cold conditions), and reduce weight.

Can I use rechargeable batteries in my LED LENSER flashlight or headlamp?


Currently LED LENSER'S standard lights and headlamps are optimized for use with disposable batteries and the components can be damaged by the use of anything other than the recommended battery type. Similarly, each LED LENSER rechargeable flashlight and headlamp requires a specific battery to operate and should only be recharged directly through their recharging system.




Can I use the same wall plug transformer for all LED LENSER rechargeable items?


Sometimes. Some lights (the M7R, H7R and P5R, for example) use the same wall plug transformer (5V, 1A output). The H14R uses a different wall plug transformer (9V, 560 mA output).
