Introduction

One of the first things you notice about the Perun 2 is its sleek and modern design. The main body is made from aluminum alloy, which gives it both strength and lightness. This material is also used in the aerospace industry, so you can be sure that it is both tough and reliable. The aluminum body is coated with a durable anodized finish, which helps to protect it against scratches and corrosion.

Another feature that sets the Olight Perun 2 apart from other flashlights is its comfortable grip. The body is designed with a diamond pattern that provides a firm and secure hold, even when your hands are wet or sweaty.

The Perun 2 features a unique tri-color multi-function indicator on the side of the body, which provides quick and easy access to important settings like battery level and mode selection. The indicator is powered by a dual-layered photoluminescent inlay, which glows brightly in the dark and makes it easy to find your flashlight when you need it.

The Perun 2 includes an elastic strap that fits snugly around the user's head. The strap is adjustable, allowing users to loosen or tighten it to ensure a perfect fit. The headband also comes with a silicone mounting frame that fits over the Perun 2 flashlight, holding it securely in place. The headband's mounting frame is designed to be easy to install and remove, allowing users to quickly attach or detach the flashlight from the headband. The frame is also compatible with other Olight flashlights, so users can use it with other Olight models they may have.

Batteries and charging

The Perun 2 is powered by a 4000mAh rechargeable battery with a 2,500 lumen maximum output. This means the Perun 2 can be used for extended periods without needing to be recharged. The battery is one of the most important components. Without a good battery, even the best flashlight won't be of much use. That's why Olight has put a lot of effort into developing a reliable and powerful battery for the Perun 2.

Perun 2's battery is rechargeable. This is not only convenient but also more environmentally friendly than using disposable batteries. The battery can be charged using the included magnetic charging cable, which makes it easy and convenient to charge the flashlight whenever neededd. Using a charging cable with a charging current up to 2A, Perun 2 increases charging speed by 33%.

Lighting modes

Perun 2 offers five different brightness levels, ranging from a low mode of 5 lumens to a maximum output of 2,500 lumens. Here are the 5 different lighting modes available on the Olight Perun 2:

Turbo Mode: This is the brightest mode available on the Olight Perun 2, boasting a maximum output of 2,500 lumens. This mode is perfect for when you need an intense, powerful beam of light to illuminate your surroundings.
High Mode: This mode offers a slightly lower output than Turbo Mode, at 500 lumens. However, it still provides a strong and reliable beam of light that is perfect for everyday use.
Medium Mode: This mode offers a moderate output of 120 lumens, making it a great option for tasks that require a balance between brightness and battery life.
Low Mode: This mode offers a dimmer output of 30 lumens, perfect for tasks that require minimal lighting such as reading in bed or finding your way around a dark room.
Moonlight Mode: This mode offers the lowest output on the Olight Perun 2, at just 5 lumens. It is designed for tasks that require minimal light output, such as checking on sleeping children or bathroom breaks during the night.

Led and Beam

The LED is a cool white, and it is seated below a TIR optic, which provides a bright and vivid light output with a maximum beam distance of up to 166 meters. The LED is highly efficient and allows the flashlight to produce a long-lasting light with a runtime of up to 66 hours in low mode.The TIR has a little black dimple on one side that houses a proximity sensor that will automatically lower the output if an object is detected nearby (sensed by light reflecting back at the sensor).

There is a proximity sensor built into Perun 2 that decreases brightness if an obstruction is nearby, a great safety feature. In order to prevent overheating, Perun 2 will reduce the brightness and power off within 1 minute.
