What is power regulation?

The EliteMax not only incorporates the microprocessor features of the rest of the Elite family, but also has power regulation. Power regulation allows the light to maintain its light output level under various power source conditions. For example, see the graph below:

The top line in the graph is a leading 7 LED flashlight which takes 3 C batteries, is much larger and weighs almost 3 times as much. C batteries have almost 3 times the power of AA batteries. Yet, see how the EliteMax is actually able to out power a light with 3 more LEDs and 3 times more power for almost 2 hours! Oh, and that 7 LED light loses 22% of it's total light output in just 15 minutes! And, is down to 50% of its total light output in 10 hours! After 10 hours, the EliteMax still supplies 96% of its total light output!

The EliteMax not only has power regulation, but can select regulation levels and can turn on and off regulation at will to get you the absolute best performance from whatever your battery situation is. Because of this, the EliteMax can also make use of rechargeable batteries without affecting its light output level like other lights. Thus, the same light output can be achieved from Nicad, NiMH, Alkaline and Lithium batteries. In fact, the EliteMax can even provide the same output level with just two batteries and a third dummy cell!

A personality for you
Some users prefer a very simple operation without so many modes. Some prefer a light with a memory. Some want regulation and some don't. The EliteMax's clever configuration mode allows you to enable or disable some of the features you want or don't, whenever you want. Yet another first for the EternaLight family, the EliteMax is the first flashlight ever made with a configuration mode!
The EliteMax is not a flashlight for everyone. Although it is simple enough for a two year old to operate, it's sophistication and technical features can be overwhelming. And, it is not cheap. But if you're looking for a total lighting instrument that fits in your pocket and is your best nighttime tool, nothing beats the MAX!
