1 ABOUT YOUR FLASHLIGHT

The Elcometer 260 SureFire® Fluorescenator UV Pinhole

Flashlight is fitted with a six-watt-maximum purple Class

1 LED module. Its beam has a wavelength of 405 nm (+/

- 5 nm), which the human eye perceives as purple light.

260 has a battery life of approximately 45 minutes and

incorporates digital current regulation circuitry to match

the LED’s current requirements to the batteries’ output in

order to achieve a consistent level of light output for the

useable life of the batteries.

The Elcometer 260 features a click on / click off switch

and a patented lock-out tailcap to prevent the flashlight

being switched on in transit.



Safety Warning:

The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) used in this product emits Class 1 LED radiation. Do not look

directly into the beam, shine the beam into another person’s eye, or stare into the beam at close

range, as this could result in eye damage. Do not expose bare, unprotected skin to the beam. When using

the Elcometer 260, be aware of mirrors and / or reflective surfaces, as the beam can reflect back to the user

or others nearby. Use this product only for its intended purpose, in a safe, responsible manner.

Lithium batteries can explode or cause burns if disassembled, shorted, recharged, or exposed to

water, fire or high temperatures. Do not place loose batteries in a pocket, purse or other

container contaiining metal objects, mix with used or other battery types, or store with hazardous

or combustible materials. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Disposal of batteries by fire,

mutilation or disassembly may result in toxic chemical release and / or explosion.

Note: Lithium batteries must be disposed of carefully to avoid environmental contamination. Please consult

your local Environmental Authority for information on disposal in your region.
