Gesture Control Commands for the HPL RAY Flashlight

Flashlight control via gestures/movements, command description.
Gesture/Movement control configuration (enable/disable).
 

The flashlight is equipped with an integrated accelerometer and gyroscope, allowing control through gestures/movements. Five commands are available, adapted for both right-handed and left-handed users. For safety reasons, gesture/movement control does not allow switching the flashlight OFF or locking it. Control is performed by rotating the flashlight around its axis (around the body) by 90° and returning it back without delay, based on the principle of a rotary switch. The total time required to perform the rotation must not exceed 0.6 seconds.

To activate gesture/movement control, unlock the flashlight by performing 5 short Clicks. After successful unlocking, the Amber LED will fade ON and OFF smoothly, and the flashlight will turn ON. From this moment, the flashlight can be controlled both by gestures/movements and by the magnetic button. To lock the flashlight, use the standard command - 3 short Clicks while the flashlight is ON.

 

 

1 Rotation with return - enables and disables Boost

 

 

Boost is an adaptive extreme illumination mode in the Center or Halo channel (depending on the user selected scenario). Operating power range: 20-32 W. Power adjustment is performed automatically and smoothly based on the battery charge level.

 

Boost Scenarios

Switching between the Center and Halo scenarios is performed with the command 2 Clicks + Press (hold for 4 seconds). Boost - Center: maximum power is concentrated in the Central beam for long range illumination. Boost - Halo: extreme output is shifted to the Halo (side) zone, providing wide and uniform illumination of the near field area. 

 

Boost Automatic Shutdown Timer

The Boost automatic shutdown timer is set to 20, 40, or 60 seconds using the command 4 Clicks + Press with a 4-second hold. The Main LED indicates the selected timer value with flashes (1 flash - 20 seconds, 2 flashes - 40 seconds, 3 flashes - 60 seconds). A short Click while holding the button reverses the timer selection direction. Releasing the button saves the chosen value.

 

 

2 Rotations with return - activates Main illumination, switches to MoonLight, and back

 

 

Activation of the flashlight in Main illumination mode is performed with a 2-rotation gesture when the flashlight is OFF. Repeating the 2-rotation gesture switches the flashlight between Main illumination mode and MoonLight. For safety reasons, gesture/movement control does not support turning the flashlight OFF or locking it.

 

 

3 Rotations with return - smooth brightness adjustment for Main illumination and MoonLight

 

 

Smooth brightness adjustment is performed with the 3-rotation gesture. For more precise control, reduce the rotation speed after executing the command. After 1 second of inactivity, the selected level is automatically saved and confirmed with a light signal. Brightness adjustment is available both in Main illumination mode and in MoonLight mode.

 

 

360° Rotation - selection of Main illumination and MoonLight

 

 

Scenario selection for Main illumination or MoonLight is performed by rotating the flashlight around its axis by 360°. Scenario scrolling begins after the first full rotation (safety zone). After 1 second of inactivity, the selected scenario is automatically saved and confirmed with a light signal.

 

 

Shaking more than 5 times in a row - activation and deactivation of the Shocker - Strobe mode

 

 

From any state (OFF, ON, or MoonLight), performing more than 5 short shakes enables or disables the Shocker-Strobe mode. Deactivation of the Shocker-Strobe mode returns the flashlight to the previous illumination mode or switches it to the OFF state.

 

 

Gesture command configuration - allows enabling or disabling flashlight control via gestures/movements  

Using the button located on the flashlight’s battery cassette, the user can manually enable or disable gesture commands. Configuration is performed only when the flashlight is OFF or locked. To enter configuration mode, perform 3 short Clicks and then hold Press for 4 seconds. The Amber LED will blink 3 times, after which the flashlight will begin demonstrating the available commands sequentially (3 series for each). Use a short Click to confirm selection. One or multiple commands can be chosen. If the user makes no selection, all gesture commands will be saved automatically.
