The Maelstrom is back, better, and standing by...the light that's ready even when you are not. The MXS lives on it's inductive charging base (no cables or ports on the light) and even turns on automatically when the power is interrupted. The MXS delivers between 10 and 1700 lumens with a Nichia 144A LED @ 4000K and 90+ CRI.
Over a year in development, the MXS is the first all-new Foursevens light under the Prometheus banner. It's called the "Standby" for two very important reasons:
The Inductive charging base keeps your light ready to go at all times. No more wondering if your batteries are charged...they are...as long as you put it back on the base. The base initiates ONE charge when the light is placed on the base. For safety reasons, it does not continuously top up the battery.
Standby Mode is activated when you put the light on the charging base. This means the light will automatically turn on (in the lowest setting) when a power outage occurs...and it will at some point. When the lights go out, the MXS is way ahead of you.
Electronic side switch
I normally can't stand side switch lights, so I designed one that I love. The E-Switch enables an incredibly simple and effective UI. 4 well spaced ramping levels, direct access to Burst Mode from any setting including from 'off', and direct access to the lowest setting from off. Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Standard 26650 Batteries
Many lights that feature "in light charging" use proprietary batteries. Not the MXS. Thorough a little cleverness and a real pain in the butt manufacturing step we've eliminated the need for special batteries. This means you can charge the battery in an external charger (not just inside the light), or use any 26650 battery you have access to (protected or unprotected), though we always recommend protected batteries like ours.
Ergonomics (for real)
You know what actually bugs me the most about side switch lights? I mean, other than turning them on by accident? Not being able to tell where the friggin' button is. I designed the asymmetrical grip to tell your brain where the switch is without looking at the light. It can be activated with either an overhand or underhand grip.
New side switch UI
Direct Access to Moonlight mode: From off, just long-press the side switch and the light will activate on this lowest setting. Never worry about what mode your light has remembered.
Burst Mode: A quick double click allows access to 100% output, no matter what level you are currently in. Another double click takes you back to the last mode you used.
Digital Bump Protection: All current Foursevens lights have this feature, but *this* light was born to tailstand. Bump protection eliminates accidental mode changes when you set the light down on its tail. Bump Protection was ported over from our Prometheus Icarus driver.
lockout mode
I know accidental activation bothers you as much it bothers me, so the MXS features a lockout mode. Just click the switch (rapidly) 5 times when the light is off. Two blinks confirms entering (or exiting) lockout mode. If the light is locked out and you try to activate the light, the indicator button turns on briefly to let you know...it's not you...it's lockout mode.
