How long does it take to charge the battery. I plugged it in and a red light came on but never went off or changed colors after 4 hours of charging.

Expert Answer

Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on February 07, 2023

ATN does not specify the amount of time it takes to charge the battery. I would recommend contacting ATN directly for assistance. Their contact information can be found by using the link below:

Coach Whit, member, from TX, United States, asked on August 16, 2021

I only get a bright box in the center, is there a way to widen the illumination?

Expert Answer

Answered by Tom B, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on September 29, 2021

The ATN IR850 has 4 brightness modes: The IR850 Supernova has 4 stage output-Low at 5%-30%-70%-100%.
These modes can be accessed by turning the brightness control ring.

Also you can focus the beam: Turn the light to maximum output and shine it on a wall 8~10 m away. To focus the beam, hold the lens head in one hand and turn the battery tube with your other hand. Turn clockwise or counter-clockwise till the focus is to your liking.

Dozer, guest, from WA, United States, asked on November 18, 2019

Would this light be a viable option for use on a ballistic helmet like a team Wendy ? Also does the light have variable power options while in use?

Expert Answer

Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on November 30, 2019

It can be used on anything that has a picatinny style rail to attach to, although it may be a bit heavy and cumbersome as its 6+" long and weighs over half a pound. The IR850-Supernova does have adjustment for the brightness.
