The design of the battery compartment and the clarity of the instructional pamphlet could certainly benefit from a thorough revision. I found myself resorting to a RUclips search for guidance, which unfortunately remained somewhat vague. Ideally, the operation of such a basic feature should be intuitive, requiring no additional instructions.
I have had my Iko Core for a year now. I use it for night time and early morning runs and for camping duties. When I bought it I also bought two spare batteries thinking that I'd need them. To date I haven't managed to run a battery down beyond orange so battery life is excellent. I rotate the batteries and charge the battery that is going into the torch in the hours before I actually use it. I have two criticisms: 1: the switch being on the adjustable head means that sometimes when using it you change the angle of the beam and have to faff about sorting it out. This is not so great if you're running trails and need to be concentrating on the terrain. 2: why not allow for easy scrolling between beam intensities? I get a bit miffed when I just want to change but it cycles through off first. Again, unhelpful if you're out on the trail for instance. Who wants a momentary plunging of darkness?
I have had mine for two years now and use it only a few times a year. All of a sudden, I can't seem to open up the battery compartment. I feel like I am going to bust it.😒 I couldn't see clearly from the video where the "lip" is. Update: I used force to pry the compartment open.
When you turn off the lamp, you'll see either a green, orange, or red led light up for a few secons. This will help you determine what percentage of battery is remaining. If it's green, you have 100-66% battery left. If it's orange, you have 66-33% battery life left. If it's red, you have 33-0% left.
The IKO headlamp, when using AAA batteries offers a max brightness of 350 lumens on the brightest setting. The reported burn time on that setting is 2.5 hours, meaning that for 2.5 hours you can expect to the lamp (with new batteries) to start off at 350 lumens and gradually get dimmer until it reaches 35 lumens. After that, it will run for another 50 hours at around 6 lumens (this is called reserve lighting). If you want a longer burn time and don't need that much brightness, operate the lamp in medium setting for 100 lumens of brightness. That will run from 100% brightness (100 lumens) to 10% brightness (10 lumens) for 8 hours.

my left ear enjoyed this video
Thank you -- - - I reloaded this like 7 times with my right ear bud in..... *facepalm*. glad they are a lighting company and ... not a audio company..
Hahahahah

Instructions suck and this video sucks too in the way of describing the very first step of this lantern use: opening the battery slot

Excellent video. That trick about making it a freestanding lantern is pretty cool!
Glad you liked it!
Excellent vid,thanks. The lantern part was interesting in that there's no need to stuff the whole torch into the 'bag', unlike another vid I saw.

Perfect!
How did you manage to remove that battery? It isn’t clear on the video at all
The only thing that would make this better, is if you made a remote battery option for cold weather applications.
Red light? Green light? How many hours of use per battery charge?

The battery compartment is a bit finicky for some people. Glad to hear you've figured out the ideal way of opening it.
That hair do is a no no
Hi, How to know how much battery power left?
When you turn off the lamp, you'll see either a green, orange, or red led light up for a few secons. This will help you determine what percentage of battery is remaining. If it's green, you have 100-66% battery left. If it's orange, you have 66-33% battery life left. If it's red, you have 33-0% left.
@@petzlna Thank you sir, It helps
350 lumens? Does it last 5hr. ?
