Combination of the IR (Infrared) and white beams specially designed for night observation, hunting and military operations.
The IR beam utilizes 4 x SST-10-IR LEDs (wavelength 940nm).
The white beam utilizes 4 x CREE XP-G3 S3 LEDs for a max output of 2,500 lumens.
Beam Switching
The CI7 has an easy switching mechanism between the IR and white beams. Push the head outwards and rotate the head clockwise or counterclockwise as illustrated to switch between the IR and white beams.
When the white beam is off in either user mode, press and hold the Mode Button to momentarily access STROBE Mode. Release to turn it off.
STROBE Mode uses randomly changing frequencies for stronger dizzying effects.
User Mode Selection of the White Beam
The CI7 provides 2 user modes of the white beam for different users and situations.
Daily Mode: When the light is on, press and hold the Mode Button to momentarily access the TURBO level of the white beam. Release to return to the previous memorized brightness level of the white beam. (Default Setting)
Tactical Mode: When the light is on, long press the Mode Button to directly access STROBE Mode. Short press the Mode Button again to return to the previous memorized brightness level of the white beam.
Dual tail switches specially designed for tactical applications control 5 brightness levels of the white beam, 3 levels of the IR beam and STROBE Mode.
Output Levels
When the IR beam is on, short press the Mode Button to cycle through the following IR output levels: LOW – MID – HIGH.
When the white beam is on, short press the Mode Button to cycle through the following brightness levels of the white beam: ULTRALOW – LOW – MID – HIGH – TURBO.
Momentary Access to HIGH
When the IR beam is on, press and hold the Mode Button to access the HIGH level of the IR beam. Release to return to the previous memorized IR output level. Momentary Access to HIGH
When the IR beam is on, press and hold the Mode Button to access the HIGH level of the IR beam. Release to return to the previous memorized IR output level.
The CI7 has mode memory. When reactivated, the flashlight will automatically access the previous memorized level or mode.

- The battery is for reference only and not included in the original package.
- The stated data is measured using 1 x 18650 Li-ion battery (3,500mAh) under laboratory conditions. The data may vary in real world use due to different battery usage or environmental conditions.
- The TURBO level is is inaccessible when using CR123/RCR123 batteries.
Power Indication
When the battery is inserted, the power indicator will flash to show the battery voltage (±0.1V). For example, when the battery voltage is at 4.2V, the power indicator will flash 4 times followed by 1.5 seconds pause and 2 more flashes. Different voltages represent the corresponding remaining battery power levels:
1 × 18650 battery | Low power | Full power | ||||
3,5V | 3,7V | 3,9V | 4,2V | |||
2 × CR123 batteries | Low power | Full power | ||||
4,8V | 5,6V | 6,0V | 6,4V |
Note: When using two CR123/RCR123 in series, the indicator will show the average voltage between the two batteries.
Changing Batteries
The batteries should be replaced when the output appears to be dim or the flashlight becomes unresponsive due to low power.
High efficiency constant circuit provides a stable output up to 130 hours.
ATR (Advanced Temperature Regulation)
The integrated ATR technology regulates the output of the CI7 according to the working condition and ambient environment to maintain the optimal performance.
Constructed from aero grade aluminum alloy.
Maintenance
Every 6 months, threads should be wiped with a clean cloth followed by a thin coating of silicon-based lubricant.
Accessories included in package:
- CI7 Flashlight
- Holster
- Clip
