Design and features

Pocket-Sized Powerhouse

Weighing just 1.8oz (with battery), the PL01 disappears in your pocket but feels reassuringly solid in hand. The precision-machined aluminum body has just the right heft, while the knurled grip section ensures secure handling even with gloves.

Every Detail Matters

Breaking away from generic penlight shapes, the PL01 features:

Aerospace-grade aluminum with Type III hard anodizing
Refined matte finish that resists fingerprints and scratches
Tapered bezel design that slides effortlessly in/out of pockets
Flush tail switch that prevents accidental activation

The dual-direction clip isn't just functional – its polished edges add a touch of elegance to the utilitarian form.

Intelligent Lighting System

The 315D LED with 5000K natural white light (CRI>90) delivers:

4 perfectly spaced modes from 1 lumen (moonlight) to 650 lumens (turbo)
Optimized beam pattern – wide enough for tasks, focused enough for distance
Memory function that remembers your last used mode

The Dual-Direction Clip transforms the light into:

✓ A hands-free headlamp (clips on hats)

✓ A work light (attaches to surfaces)

✓ A pocket beacon (quick-access carry)

Engineered for Real-World Use

Dual power flexibility:

Rechargeable battery (included) for eco-conscious users
