Operations

Tactical forward clicky switch
Basic

Turn on the light by pressing the tailcap button until it clicks.
Twist the head to select between three output levels.
To access the lowest 4th level, turn the head to 3rd level, then 2nd level, and then back to 3rd level within one second.
You can pre-selected output level before turning on the light.

Advanced

Cycle through auxiliary modes: tight the head (1st level), and loose the head (3rd level) and then tight the head within one second to enter auxiliary setting. Repeat to cycle through all settings. Turn off the light or loose the head to quit.

Switching between regular mode and tactical mode (default): Switch to 2nd output level and turn the flashlight on and off for 20 times.
Tail strobe feature (off by default): With this enabled, you can access strobe output at the tailcap switch button . To enable (or disable) this function (disable from factory), switch to 1st level and turn the flashlight on and off 20 times (one second or less between each click). With the tailcap strobe setting enabled, a double press of the switch button (within one second) will activate the strobe output.
Energy saving feature (on by default): M30LC2 reduces output by 24% after 200 seconds at turbo mode. With this feature turned off, M30LC2 reduces output by 8% instead. To toggle this feature, twist the head to 3rd level and turn the flashlight on and off for 20 times. Once setting has been changed, LED will output 3 seconds at 100% (enable), or 1 second at 100% (disable).

Battery Safety Precaution

Ensure the protective circuit on the 18650 batteries has current limitation of higher than 5A. Always use proven EAGTAC batteries for best performance and reliability.

All EAGTAC flashlights are designed to use button-top battery (battery with protruding positive terminal). For rechargeable li-ion battery, use only EAGTAC li-ion battery, or other protected li-ion battery with compatible length and diameter. Before using the battery, check and ensure the battery outer wrapping (the isolating plastic film that wraps around the metal housing of the battery) is complete. Broken battery wrapping may lead to short circuit and damage to the flashlight.

Lithium and Li-ion battery can explode or cause burns if disassembled, shorted, or exposed to high temperature. Do not mix new and used batteries. Do not mix batteries with different brand, capacity, voltage, or install batteries backwards.

NiMH rechargeable battery may release gas during discharge. If you experience an inflated switch boot or find high pressure being built inside the flashlight, switch off the flashlight immediately. Slowly loosen the tail-cap to reduce the internal pressure and replace all batteries. Back to top

Flashlight Maintenance

Periodically clean the threads and o-rings with a lint free cloth and apply a thin coating of EAGTAC synthetic grease to the o-rings and threads. After prolonged exposure to moisture, the head and batteries should be removed, inspected, and dried. Do not touch or attempt to clean the reflector, as it will scratch the reflective coating permanently. Back to top

Other battery types runtime

M30LC2 allows users to use different type of batteries in standard configuration. With added extension tube, you get extra runtime and extra output at turbo mode with energy saving mode turned off. Below lists the turbo output runtime with different battery types:

w/ energy saving disabled
2xCR123A 0.6hr, 1x18650 1.4hr, 3xCR123A 1.2hr, 3xRCR123A 0.7hr, 4xCR123A 1.6hr, 2x18650 2.6hr

w/ energy saving enabled
2xCR123A 1hr, 1x18650 1.8hr, 3xCR123A 1.5hr, 3xRCR123A 0.9hr, 4xCR123A 2.2hr, 2x18650 3.5hr

* Above runtime is tested based on EAGTAC 1700mAh CR123A batteries, EAGTAC 750mAh RCR123A batteries and EAGTAC 3500mAh 18650 batteries.
** 3x(R)CR123A are tested with 3cell extender tube, 4xCR123A and 2x18650 are tested with 4cell extender tube. Top

Accessories

This weight measurement is based on the Kit model excluding batteries
All batteries must have protruding top button.
Beam output diameter taken at one meter
ANSI FL-1 Lumens is a measurement of light output standardized by American National Standards Institute for use with flashlights. This ANSI Lumen measurement is the total overall light output being emitted from the flashlight. This measurement is generally more accurate as it takes into consideration the loss from reflector/lens/bezel. EAGTAC’s ANSI Lumen output is measured using a calibrated integrated sphere three minutes after turning on the flashlight. For O.T.F. lumen, measurement is taken one minute after turning on the flashlight.
Energy saving feature reduce the maximum output current from 100% to 85% after 200 seconds at turbo output.
Runtime is measured with energy saving feature enabled using three EAGTAC 3500mAh batteries.
Maximum efficiency occurs when input voltage is very close to LED forward voltage.
