Recently, Kerez has launched a new helmet light. I am usually interested in some novel things, but I happen to not have a related helmet light on hand, so I quickly bought an XT1C PRO to play with. I have been using it for a long time, and today I would like to share with you the fun features of this product.
When I first met XT1C PRO, my first impression was that this product is very small and mini. The overall workmanship is quite exquisite, the oxidation is also good, and there is no problem with level 3 hard oxygen.
XT1C PRO can be controlled with one hand. It is so small, but has a maximum output of 1,000 lumens and a maximum projection of 200 meters. This performance is normally within the output range of the 18650 small straight flashlight. The flashlight uses dual light sources, and with the red light mode, it can basically be used in daily, outdoor and tactical scenarios.
This product is equipped with its special clamp to turn into a helmet light in seconds, greatly improving its function, which is very interesting.
How to make a double light source from a single light cup? The light cup is divided into one large and one small design. The two unique light cup designs do not interfere with each other. When using it, you have me, and I have you. I wonder if patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder can accept it?
The main light uses an orange peel light cup, paired with long-range flat lamp beads CREE XP-L HI 1D LED. The small red light core is used as an auxiliary light. This design is very suitable for compact small flashlights and perfectly solves the problem of dual light sources and two sets of optical systems.
With red light and orange peel cup, the effect at close range will be softer.
The red light mode has 3 lumens. As an auxiliary light on the helmet, this output is enough. You can clearly see the words on the blackboard. XT1C PRO uses a special small light cup, and the light spot projected is still very large.
At 1000 lumens, the output performance is still very good. After all, it is a mini flashlight, and it is very good for this size.
The size of the flashlight is only 92.4*25.4*27MM, and the total combat weight is 79g. The design of the product is unambiguous. The cooling fins, anti-roll surface, newspaper clip, anti-skid pattern, and tactical tail button are all arranged in place, and the appearance is also good.
The side buttons of the flashlight adopt a double-button design. The upper button is for increase and the lower button is for downshift dimming. It can switch red light illumination, red light signal, strobe and other functions. The operation logic is clear and can be mastered with a little learning.
There is a battery indicator light on the neck of the flashlight to facilitate users to identify the current battery level. This battery indicator light also displays different colors according to different battery levels, making it easier for users to identify.
The tail of the flashlight adopts a tactical switch, which lights up and goes off when you release your hand. It can be used for tactical applications.
It is easy to hold with one hand, its small size is almost invisible, and it is easy to control. It is no problem to use it with bare hands. This lightweight product is perfect for helmet lights.
The U-shaped ear protection can be used upside down and can be used as an emergency fill-in light when camping. There is no problem.
XT1C PRO comes standard with a C-port direct charging 700mAh lithium battery. The most important thing is that it is compatible with 18350 and cr123A. Users can choose different types of batteries.
In terms of operation logic and dimming operation logic, the Keris XT1C PRO flashlight is preset with 6 constant-brightness gears, low-brightness gear 15 lumens, medium-brightness gear 130 lumens, high-brightness gear 360 lumens, extremely bright gear 1000 lumens, in addition It has red light illumination and signal, as well as strobe, beacon, SOS mode and memory gear.
The red light signal mode is suitable for helmet light tactical applications. It is no problem to use it as a warning light on a backpack when walking at night.
The low-brightness white light is 15 lumens, and you can clearly see the words on the blackboard. There is no problem walking at night. This output is also greatly guaranteed in terms of battery life. The longest battery life reaches 32 hours, and it can last for several days in emergency situations.
Used with a helmet, it is very good for night maintenance inspections. The XT1C PRO is light and flexible, and there is no pressure on the head when worn.
With a projection effect of 1,000 lumens and a maximum distance of 200 meters, the main and secondary light spots are extremely soft. It is suitable for daily home emergency outdoor hiking lighting and can be used in many scenarios.
After this period of use, my overall impression of the Keris XT1C PRO is still good. The total weight of this product is only 79 grams. Ordinary users can use it as a daily EDC. Some players can use it with a helmet clamp. The playability is still very high.
The red and white dual light source design of the product greatly expands the usage scenarios of XT1C PRO. In terms of control, it has up and down double buttons for dimming and flexible gear switching. In summary, this is a very interesting product.
