Lumalight Maintenance & Operating Instructions 2012

Important notice prior to using your Lumalight
Ensure your hands are relatively clean and free of hand creams and oils of any type (i.e. essential oils) when handling your Lumalight SE penlight and filters as it can alter the color of the filter.

Batteries
We recommend a high quality AA Akaline batteries; positive ends go in first. To store your Lumalight for a period of time, take out the batteries for the same reason. We do not recommend rechargeable or lithium batteries as it can overheat the penlight and do not mix batteries brands together.

Filters
The other possible replacement are the color filters, which, with proper care should last for many years. Do not get oil on the filters, use abrasive cleaners or cloth or drop them on a hard surface. If you accidentally break a filter you can order a new one. We will require the year of purchase to ensure proper fit on your penlight. The O rings may vary and offer different fittings (tension) on penlight in one set. You can order additional filters to expand your Lumalight set.

To clean the filter
Use a flannel cloth and a little rubbing alcohol. The filters are made to snap on and stay on with normal use. You can also clean the penlight (take batteries out first) with rubbing alcohol.

To clean the penlight barrel (take out batteries first)
Lumalight 2000 Series: Use a flannel cloth and rubbing alcohol.
Lumalight SE Series: This series has a special finish on the penlight. Use a flannel cloth and rubbing alcohol. To re-polish penlight use a metal polish once a year (maximum).

Geometry Inserts
The geometry inserts are fragile and should be handled with care. Store them under the foam where the Lumalight penlight rests in the box. You can tap the filter on a soft surface to remove the insert if necessary.

O-Rings
The black O-rings, which holds the filter in place (top of penlight) may deteriorate over the years. You can order replacement O-rings.

Light Source
You will need to change the bulb from time to time. They are 2.3 or 2.4 Volt miniature incandescent light bulbs. Any other voltage ( i.e. 1.1 or 3.6 ) will drain the bulb/batteries very quickly. These bulbs can be sourced in specialty lighting stores or purchased directly from Spectrahue. We sell them in packages of five or ten. Do not use LED bulbs in penlight.

Trouble Shooting
If the bulb begins to flicker on/off, remove top part of penlight and gently tighten bulb to connect to batteries. Alternatively unscrew battery cap and stretch the spring and replace back in cap. This spring ensures there is a connection with battery and bulb.

Travel
We would recommend you carry your Lumalight in your carry-on luggage to protect the filters. However, the red oak carrying case is very durable. Do not leave your Lumalight set in direct heat/sunshine for a long period of time.
