The Nebo Franklin Dual is the rechargeable version of the Big Larry 2, and a 2 in 1 multi-functional unit that has a top light torch output of 200 lumens from a single LED and a work light output of 500 lumens from the high power COB LED.
Great for hands free use the Franklin Dual has a strong magnet on the base of the torch – perfect for work on the car or in a workshop – a retractable pocket clip and the base can also stand freely on flat surfaces.
Powered by a tailored 2000 mAh 18650 lithium-ion battery, the torch has a run-rime of up to 2 hours, 30 minutes on the highest output. The battery is charged inside the torch via the micro USB port which is on the back of the torch and revealed by lifting the dust cover. The supplied cable is plugged into the micro USB port and then connected to a USB power source with the USB-A end of the cable. The charging indicator glows red while charging is in progress and turns blue once charging is complete.
Four light modes of torch, work light, red light and red flashing are available and are cycled through with each press of the push button located on the front of the light. The torch, work light and red light are all dimmable between 100%-30% output. When the light is turned on the in any of these outputs simply hold down the button and the brightness will gradually begin to dim before then getting brighter again. Release the button at the desired output for the task at hand.
Red light is useful for night reading, animal spotting and preserving night vision, which is why the Franklin Dual offers direct to red access by holding down the button while the light is off. The flashing red light is good for attracting attention, making it useful for in the car or on camping trips.
The torch as default will always come back on at the highest outputs for the white and constant red light, however the light can be programmed to remember an output of your choice so that when you next turn the light on it will come on at your memorised brightness.
Note: The torch will be in demo mode which turns the light off after 8 seconds, to disable this remove the battery upon receipt and leave it out for 10 seconds before reinserting and fully tightening the tail cap.
