The Spectrum UV is our unique, multi beam-color tactical flashlight. In addition to its primary white light, it offers red, blue and UV beams, as well as a low level and strobe, for a total of six available modes. The high white mode is always the default, while any of the others can be user-programmed as a secondary level, activated with a double-tap of the tail switch. Law enforcement applications for alternate-colored beams include:
· Red: Preserves night vision
· Blue: Cuts through fog, tracks blood and other bodily fluids
· UV: Used for locating invisible/less visible DNA evidence/organic matter, also for seeing hidden security features in IDs and other documents
Dual Fuel Technology means you'll never be without a power source―it runs with either a rechargeable 18650 battery (included) or 2 CR123A primary (single use) cells, sold separately. The 18650 battery charges inside the flashlight, using the supplied cord, or any USB-C phone/electronics charging cord―no separate battery charger needed. An onboard indicator shows charging status, as well as real-time remaining charge. When the 18650 battery is in use, just press the tail switch and the indicator will illuminate. A green light indicates over 50% charge remaining, yellow means 20% to 50%, and red alerts you that less than 20% charge remains.
Like all ASP tactical flashlights, the Spectrum is built to the most demanding law enforcement duty standards. It’s machined from 6061 T6 aerospace aluminum and type III hardcoat anodized in a proprietary matte black finish. The barrel is wrapped in our exclusive, all-weather foamed vinyl grip. Premium components include Cree XPG LED, gold-plated connectors, polished aluminum reflector and optical glass lens. In keeping with our emphasis on intuitive design and simplicity in our law enforcement tools and training, activation of the Spectrum is via a single pressure switch. A 3-position twist selector allows choice of momentary, constant-on, or locked.
The included 18650 Lithium-Ion battery features an integrated USB-C charge port of its own. This means that in addition to in-light recharging, the battery can be charged on its own, simply by plugging the included USB-C cord directly into the cell.
NOTE: ASP flashlights feature removable/movable pocket clips. To remove the clip, use a 1/16 hex key to back out the screw, then remove the clip and ring. Most ASP baton scabbards and Tactical Light Cases include a 1/16 hex key, stowed behind the belt clip.
DUAL FUEL CAPABLE FLASHLIGHTS—IMPORTANT NOTES
This flashlight allows disposable batteries* to be used in place of the included lithium ion rechargeable cell. This “Dual Fuel” capability is for backup purposes—lumen output, run time and other performance metrics will vary with the use of disposable batteries. Also note that charge status and capacity indicator lights are only applicable to rechargeable cells, and should be disregarded when backup batteries are in place.
*ASP CR123A batteries recommended as Dual Fuel backup for lights using 18650 rechargeable cells. Major brand lithium AAA batteries recommended as backup for lights using 10900 rechargeable cells.
