BLACKHAWK! ALLY PL3 - Manual (Page 2)

Ally PL3 (SKU - 75FL015BK) and
PL3x (SKU - 75FL014BK) Instructions
Professional Class Illumination Tools & Accessories
are high quality, illumination devices with single,
dual or, in some cases, multi-function capabilities.
These tools provide high output, digitally AND/OR
non-digitally regulated white light (and in some
cases red or green light) through the use of high
quality Luxeon LED’s (light emitting diodes)
AND/OR Xenon incandescent lamp assemblies.
Professional Class illumination tools are designed
with the following features in mind:
• Manufactured from aircraft grade aluminum
• Glass Lenses
• Durable Type II or 2 Type III Anodized finish
What is Type II Anodizing? – Type II anodizing is the
best “general” industrial anodized coating for the
type of aluminum lights found in the Professional
Class. Such anodizing will protect the aluminum
parts by making the surface much harder than nat-
ural, bare aluminum and it will provide excellent
corrosion protection and resistance to wear.
What is Type III anodizing? – Type III anodizing is a
“hard coat” process where a thick layer of alu-
minum oxide that is deposited on the surface of
the aluminum, actually penetrates it, resulting in a
surface hardness approaching that of diamonds.
In certain applications, Type III “hard coat” anodizing
can be harder than case-hardened steel and can
provide excellent abrasion resistance. In all cases,
however, it is protective to the aluminum part and
is an extremely durable finish for all types of uses
and environments.
• High output, high pressure Xenon lamps OR;
Luxeon 1 & 3 watt LED’s (Light Emitting Diodes)
• At the heart of the Ally PL3 and the Ally PL3x is
a 3-watt LED. Unlike typical LED lights that are sim-
ilar in size, the PL3 produces a true 65 lumens of
light which is equivalent to the light of a 7 “D” cell
flashlight and the PL3x produces a true 50 lumens
of light on HIGH power (which is equivalent to the
light of a 5 “D” cell flashlight) & 12 lumens on
LOW power.
Mechanical Reliability – The components of an LED
are encased in a virtually indestructible high
strength optical grade epoxy. There is no glass OR
filament to break from drops, recoil, heat or other
external stimuli. This makes LED’s perfect for
rugged environments, weapons mounted applica-
tions or extreme temperatures. For in the case of
most incandescent bulbs, even if the glass casing
stays intact, the filament can break from sudden
shock or even a soft drop. This can even be the
case when the bulbs are housed in shock reducing
flashlight housing designs.
Single, dual or multi-function switch capabilities
including momentary, constant on, hi/low power
differentials, light/laser combinations, etc.
Mission, profession or specialized function-based
designs leading to hunting, general outdoors, track-
ing, tactical, military, law enforcement and recre-
ational applications.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations on your purchase of either the
Night-Ops Ally PL3 or Ally PL3x illumination tool.
While the “Ally PL3” and the “Ally PL3x” share the
same dimensions and the same 3 watt LED with a
pre-focused beam that provides a clean, bright
hotspot with smooth transition to the corona and
the beam edges, their features vary significantly, as
do their uses.
SKU - 75FL015BK
The Ally PL3 can be utilized as a high output tacti-
cal light or as a great all purpose hunting, out-
doors, or recreational light. At 65 lumens of light
output, it produces the same amount of light output
as a 7 “D” cell halogen light and has the capability
of illuminating objects or targets up to 70 meters
away. Digitally controlled, this lighting tool performs
at full brightness for 1 hour and then at medium
brightness for 2-3 hours of additional light output.
When a traditional xenon, non-digitally controlled
lighting tool, is out of battery life, the “PL-3” will still
provide usable light for an additional 1-2 hours. The
clickable tailcap switch allows the user to operate
this lighting tool in either momentary or “constant
on” modes. Operates on two CR123A lithium bat-
teries.
SKU - 75FL014BK
The Ally PL-3x is a multipurpose, digitally controlled
lighting tool with the same pocketclip as seen on
the Ally PL3. But this 2-level compact lighting tool
provides 50 lumens of light output (the same
amount of light output as a 5 “D” cell halogen light)
when on HI power (4 hours expected lifespan) and
12 lumens of light output on LOW power (20 hours
expected lifespan), On HI power, this lighting tool
will illuminate objects and targets up to 65 meters
away. On LOW power, it will allow for working and
reading “up close” where the glare of a high pow-
ered lamp could be an issue. Great for recreation-
al, outdoor, and general purpose lighting tasks in
which the user requires and demands only the
best! The clickable tailcap switch allows the user to
operate this lighting tool in both HI and LOW “con-
stant on” modes. Operates on two CR123A lithium
batteries.
Proper care and use of this product will provide you
with years of dependable service.
