Carry a spare light with you at all times, as the product can potentially fail unexpectedly at any time.

Heat development:

Our Wilma TL is not a normal ashlight. With continuous operation at maximum power, the enclosure
may become hot; therefore, always ensure a safe distance to ammable materials.

Caution! When operating the lamp at maximum power, the light may be dimmed after several minutes
depending on the ambient temperature. This is normal and will reduce the lamp's temperature.

Water resistance:

All Wilma TL components are waterproof and can of course be used under extremely severe conditions.
However, the Wilma TL light is NOT a diving lamp and is NOT suitable for use under water.

Charging

Before seriously using your ashlight for the
rst time, the battery requires charging to
ensure maximum capacity. For this purpose,
please separate the battery tank from the
ashlight head.

The power jack is located on the top of
the battery tank.

Also refer to the Charger section on
p. 12 or, in case of a special version,
the separate charger manual.

Flashlight and charger are ready for use upon delivery,
however, the battery is merely partly charged.

Safety instructions:

Warning! Avoid looking directly into the light emitted by the light or shining the light
into your own eyes or the eyes of another person. If the light accidentally shines into your
eyes, close your eyes and move your head out of the light beam. Do not use any strongly
focusing optical device to look at the light beam.

In cases where the light is used in a public or commercial setting, users should be
provided with training concerning the safety measures for laser light.

A quick push of the button switches between power settings.

Switching on:

Switching/low beam:

Switching off:

Pressing the button once will switch on the lamp at maximum
power. The blue LED is on.

Operation

3 3

When the lamp is connected to the battery, the software will run a self test.
The button will ash purple, red, blue and the lamp itself will ash once.

Initialization & voltage display:

Hold the button down (for more than one second) to switch o the lamp.

Note: When operating the lamp at maximum power, the

power may be reduced continuously depending on the
ambient temperature to avoid overheating of the LEDs
and the electronics.

Lamp on

Example: The blue LED ashes once and then the red LED ashes ve

times. This indicates that 1.5 Ah have been drawn from the battery.

Discharged battery capacity:

When you shut o the lamp, the discharged battery capacity is shown
via ashing of the blue LED and then the red LED. This information can
only be displayed once as it is deleted when you unplug the battery.

The  blue LED blinks once for each Ah (ampere hour); and then
the  red LED blinks once for each 1/10 of an Ah.

Note: The Wilma TL control electronics not only controls high and low

beam; it also protects the rechargeable battery against deep discharge
and includes a low battery indicator.

The battery voltage is then indicated by the blue and red LEDs, as follows:

 The blue LED ashes once for each volt; and then
 the red LED ashes once for each 1/10 of a volt.

To display the battery voltage again, unplug the light from the battery
and then plug it in again.

Interpreting the voltage display:

More than 7.9 V: the battery is fully charged. 7.1 to 7.8 V: the battery
needs charging or is old. 6.5 to 7 V: the battery is not ready for use.

Note: To deactivate this display, simply press the button. In other words,

you needn't let the display go through its whole cycle in order to use
the lamp.

The control electronics measures the voltage under load.
Thus, measurements using a voltmeter will not be comparable.

Example: The blue LED ashes seven times and the red LED then

ashes ve times; this means that the measured voltage under load
is 7.5 V. This display helps you assess the actual state of the battery

prior to use.

The blue LED is on: The lamp is on.

Explanation of LEDs:

Reserve power

Battery discharged

(lamp ashes)

Very low capacity

Reserve power:

Note: The battery life remaining after the red LED has come on is depen-

dent on the overall capacity, the temperature and the battery's age. As a
Li-Ion battery's voltage curve is not proportional to the remaining capacity,
you will have to learn to interpret the indicators in relation to your battery.

When the battery is discharged (the red LED has been ashing for some
minutes), the red and the blue LED will ash alternately; the lamp itself also
ashes. After switching the light on again (double click!), reserve power
will be available. Depending on the age of the battery, some more minutes
of light will be provided. To make reserve power last as long as possible,
only light below 2.0 W will be provided. To indicate that reserve power has
been activated, the red and the blue LED will ash in turn.

As soon as the battery is entirely discharged then, the lamp will be switched
o automatically. Therefore: Caution!

Warning! When the battery is almost entirely discharged
(the red LED has been ashing for some minutes), the lamp
will ash several times (the red and the blue LED ash) and
is then switched o. Caution!

The red LED indicates the state of the battery. If the battery voltage
decreases below a certain value, rst, the red LED will come on (the
lamp itself also ashes once) and then additionally, shortly before the
capacity is entirely exhausted, it will start ashing.

Note: When permanently operating the lamp at 17 W, the battery warnings

may be issued in very quick sequence.

Battery warning:

Battery partly discharged

Note: When operating the lamp at 0.5 W and 2.5 W exclusively, no reserve power

will be available.

Warning: Do not switch on the light when the battery is

discharged, as this will invariably damage the battery.
Recharge the battery as soon as possible to avoid a deep
discharged battery.

The red LED is on:
The lamp ashes once:

A considerable amount of the battery power
has been used; safe power immediately!

The red LED ashes,
the lamp ashes once:

The battery is almost discharged.

The blue and the red
LED ash in turn,
the lamp ashes:

The battery is discharged.

The blue and the red LED
ash in turn:

The lamp is running on reserve power.
