Artek® Megalodon Mk2

Main specifications:

• Luminous fux: 1280 lumens (192 in Battery Saving Mode)
• Illuminance: 90.000 luxes 1m distance
• Run Time: Thanks to the microcontroller from Microchip that features this model, we have control of the battery state in every moment. Before the battery reach its limit, this ashlight gives us some blinks, to warn us about the low battery state. Automatically the ashlight goes to battery saving mode, delivering 15% of full power output, offering 192 lumens during two additional hours. This mode allows to finish the activities we desire without sudden light shutdown.

• Tanker diameter: 64-65mm
• Tanker Length: 110mm
• Complete weight: 1150gr

DESIGN PROCESS

This unit was launched in 2013, make a qualitative step forward oering a new form factor for the Tanker (canister). These kinds of lights were big and heavy, and not always reliable. The Tanker was smaller than beverage can, and the spot got 50.000 lux at 1 meter. The mk2 design has new electronic features, the Tanker is an unibody piece with its cap and a new magnetic switch. There is an improvement in the concentration of the main beam (spot), getting a much more penetrating light.

LIGHT POWER AND RUNTIME

This primary light has a power of 1280 lumens in a compact head. The power is constant during the 4 hours of runtime. It features the automatic Battery Saving Mode.

WARNING Y BATTERY SAVING MODE

Megalodon mk2 light has a low battery warning device. With a few flashes, it alerts us that the battery is low. Automatically, after ashes, the power drops to the level of Battery Saving Mode. In this way the remaining autonomy increases, and we do not run out of light, allowing us to access our backup light if necessary.

C.T.P.

It has a temperature control that ooffers security. This unit can be used on surface use without any risk, since in the event of an increase in temperature, the power is regulated gently, avoiding dangerous temperatures.

OPTICAL SYSTEM

The combination of a specially selected quality LED and the aluminum reector designed by ARTEK® makes possible to have a beam of more than 90.000 lux at one meter.

SIZE-PERFORMANCE RATIO

To be able to deliver 1280 lumens for 4 hours makes it necessary to use a high-capacity lithium battery. Still, we have a very contained size Tanker.

MADE IN SPAIN QUALITY

All components of this unit, from the battery to the LED itself, are extremely well cared for. The material used is machined aeronautical grade aluminum anodized according to military specications and Delrin. The LED is manufactured by CREE®, but it is also carefully selected to have the performance we demand. The reector is
designed to provide a narrow beam with high eciency. The batteries are lithium batteries, with high capacity and no memory eect. Like all our ashlights, Megalodon mk2 is designed and manufactured in Spain, from the SMD welding process into the PCB, to the machining and anodizing of the aluminum parts. In addition, unit has its own unique serial number that identies it.
