Inova Warranty, Technical Information , FAQ

Limited Lifetime Warranty:

What does your limited lifetime warranty cover?

We offer a limited lifetime warranty on all our Inova products should a consumer have a problem with their light. This warranty includes manufacturers defect in materials and/or workmanship, and malfunction limited to the intended use of the product. Our warranty does not cover abuse or neglect, modification, water submersion, or physical damage to the surface of the flashlight including scratches or other externally exposed parts, which do not affect the light output. Batteries are not included.

Can I switch my end cap from my Tactical Series light for an X-Series Light?

No. Doing so will void out your limited lifetime warranty

Can I have my light specially engraved?

No alterations can be done to our Inova lights without voiding out the limited lifetime warranty.

Can I take my Inova light scuba diving? Is it waterproof?

No. All Inova lights are 'water resistant', meaning they are not 'water proof'. These lights can handle moisture, as well as contact with water, but they cannot be submerged for long periods of time.  For example, the light may withstand falling into a puddle, but we do not recommend taking them diving or using them underwater.  Doing so would void the limited lifetime warranty.

Is there a lifetime warranty on your T4 accessories?

  • T4 International Adaptor Kit -- No Warranty
  • T4 DC / Vehicle Power Supply -- No Warranty
  • T4 Glass Lens Replacement Kit -- No Warranty
  • T4 10 Foot Hardwire Cable -- No Warranty (*Must be installed by a qualified electronics or automotive professional)
  • T4 AC Power Supply -- No Warranty
  • T4 Lithium Ion Battery -- Warranty for ONE YEAR after purchase in regard to manufacturers defect only. This does NOT apply to the battery being exhausted from multiple charges.
  • T4 Charger Cradle -- Limited lifetime warranty (our same policy for returns applies).

    Where do I send a defective light for a replacement?

    Return to address below along with the return mailing address and brief description of the problem experienced with the light along with $5.00 for shipping ($3.00 for Microlight?):

    Emissive Energy Corporation
    135 Circuit Drive
    North Kingstown, RI 02852
    Attn: Returns Department

    Please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery of your new replacement product.

    Can I exchange my light for another color (light) if I send it back to Inova?

    No, we do not exchange lights for another color. You must return to the retailer where it was purchased.

    Troubleshooting:

    My Inova light flickers. What should I do?

    You can remove the cap and clean the treads of the cap and body with a soft cloth. Reapply a light coat of silicone grease to threads and O-Ring. If that doesn't work, you may send it back for a replacement light.

    My T4 cradle is flashing blue; can I send it in for warranty/repair?

    The best way to mount the T4 into the charger is to place the handle through the cradle first, and then drag back until the connection is made (see the diagram in your instruction sheet). You should hear a click and the flashlight would feel secure and tight in the cradle. The blue LED should remain constant and not blink. Flashling could indicate that a secure connection has not been made. Make sure the contacts are clean as well.

    If this does not work, you may return the light to us for warranty replacement. Please include the flashlight, cradle and battery so our technicians may distinguish the problem accurately.

    How do I use the multiple functions on my Inova Microlight?

    TO ACTIVATE YOUR MICROLIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME:

    Press and hold down the button for 15 seconds until the light goes out.

    OPERATION GUIDE

    Press the button one time for high power
    Press the button two times for low power
    Press the button three times for strobe

    If you leave your Microlight on any setting for more than 2 seconds the next press of the button will turn it off and not go to the next function.

    In the high power setting your Microlight will automatically shut off after 4 minutes. Low power and strobe settings will run as long as they are active.

    To reset your Microlight into signal mode:
    Press the button three times for strobe mode.
    While the light is strobing, press and hold the button for 5 seconds.
    In signal mode your light will only work as a squeeze light.

    To activate normal operating modes press and hold down the button for 15 seconds until the light goes out.

    Technical Information:

    What kind of batteries does the products use?

    Microlight ? - Two 2032 Coin Lithium Batteries (White, Blue, Red & Green)

    X1 ? - One AA Alkaline Battery

    X5 ? - Two CR123A Lithium Batteries

    X5 ?(Red Only) - One CR123A Lithium Battery

    24/7 ? - One CR123A Lithium Battery

    T1 ? - One 123A lithium Battery

    T2 ? - Two 123 Lithium Batteries

    T3 ? - Two 123 Lithium Batteries

    T4 ? - One INOVA? Lithium Ion Battery

    T5 ? - Three 123A Lithium Batteries

    Why does the red X5 use only 1 battery, while the others use 2?

    The red led does not draw as much voltage as the other colors.

    Can I use rechargeable batteries in your products?

    We do not advise using rechargeable batteries on any of our Inova products (with the exception of the T4, which has an Emissive Energy Lithium Ion rechargeable battery included). The specs for our products are based on the use of the recommended battery, and a rechargeable may affect the output of the light and will void out the limited lifetime warranty.

    How long do the batteries for each product expected to last?

    Microlight ? - 15 Hour burn time

    X1 ? - 10 Hour burn time

    X5 ? - Up to 20 Hour burn time

    24/7 Smartbright ? - 12-40 Hour burn

    XO ? - 5 Hour burn time

    XO3 ? - 2.5 Hour burn time

    T1 ? - 1.5 Hour burn time

    T2 ? - 5 Hour burn time

    T3 ? - 2 Hour burn time

    T4 ? - 2 Hour burn time

    T5 ? - 3 Hour burn time

    Why do you use lithium batteries in some of your Inova product line?

    We use lithium batteries for their long (typically 10 year) shelf life. When one needs a flashlight in an emergency - we want as much a guarantee that it will work as possible. If standard AA batteries are left in a flashlight, their power drains away over time, even if the flashlight is not engaged.

    What is the purpose for the red/blue/green lights as opposed to the white light?

    White: Best for all around illumination

    Green: Offers the highest visibility

    Blue: Enhances contrast

    Red: Won't hinder the eye's night vision

    What Nanometer ranges do your lights cover?

    White: 6800 K

    Red: 620 nm

    Green: 530 nm

    Blue: 470nm

    UV: 395 nm

    Can I mount the Tactical line to my gun?

    The Inova T1, T2 and T3 will work as weapon lights as they are impervious to recoil and fit in standard 1in rings. We also offer a remote pressure switch for the T Series of lights for Rifle/carbine applications. For further information about the model# TSPS, contact Matthew Wolfe at [email protected].

    What is the difference between the XO3 and the T3 (same goes for XO vs. T2)?

    The T3 actually arrived pursuant to our XO3. Our T-Series was created in response to the needs of our military & law enforcement community; the main difference between the T3 and XO3 is that the T3 has a knurled body for secure grip, and a clicking switch for constant on/off mode, rather than the twist action and press button of the XO3.

    The output of the lights is similar; both use the patented TIROS? optical lens system, and are designed to meet our strict engineering standards.

    Product Changes / Improvements:

    Why did they make the changes to the Inova X1 Spotlight?

    The X1 is no longer a spotlight, and has changed only in the reflector. Instead of utilizing a custom optic, the new X1 has a revolutionary diamond tuned reflector. The old lens, even though it projected a tighter spot, only captured 60% of the light that came out of the LED. The rest of the light was lost inside of the flashlight.

    In true darkness the old X1 was not as practical. If you were looking for something, it had no peripheral lighting. You would have to sweep the beam back and forth. The new X1 reflector captures 95% of the light - all of the light is coming out of the LED. It has a broader beam pattern, which makes it more useful.

    This was done as a running change in the product as it was a major improvement over the previous product.

    Can I have some information on the new Inova Radiant-Series Flashlights?

    The new Radiant Series of Inova flashlights provide outstanding durability and performance for a lifetime of owner satisfaction, and are covered by a limited lifetime warranty.  We decided to design a flashlight that is more readily available to an end user, allowing them to experience Inova quality at a better price.

    The Radiant Series of Inova Flashlights feature a revolutionary vented head design. This venting system ensures cool running, and energy efficient performance for longer battery life and maximum light output.

    An optically enhanced reflector and high energy LED deliver a uniform bright white hot spot and balanced peripheral illumination. Advanced electronic circuitry provides non-dimming light output.

    All our radiant line flashlights are encased in high impact polycarbonate bodies, and feature a rubberized grip, double lanyard holes, and momentary/constant on switches, water resistance, and non-rolling geometry.

    The Radiant AAA has a 100ft. effective range, and a 1-mile signal visibility.
    The Radiant AA has a 150ft. effective range, and a 1.5-mile signal visibility.
    The Radiant C has a 200ft. effective range, and a 2-mile signal visibility.

    *Please note: The Radiant Series products are not yet rated in terms of lumen(s) and/or burn times.

    Have they discontinued your colored lights for the X5 & X1 products?

    All colored Inova X5 & X1 lights will now be available in a 'quad pack' only, which is how the current Inova X5/X1MT-UVT is packaged. A quad pack is not a clamshell, but instead a black, four-sided, thin plastic box.

    The Inova X5 with white LED's will still be available in standard retail packaging.

    Where can I find the accessories (Wall Mount, Magnetic Mount, Head Gear) for my 24/7?

    They do not offer accessories for the 24/7 as a separate item for purchase. The accessories can be purchased in conjunction with the 24/7 at any outlet that carries this item. The 24/7-APY1 and 24/7 APG1 will be the only models available for purchase in the retail package, which are green and yellow-bodied flashlights with the full accessory pack.

    What is the XO2 ? flashlight?

    Within the existing cylindrical body, we have inserted an LED with twice the optical output of the former XO. It will continue to feature the patented TIROS optical lens system. It will be called the XO2, because it has twice the power.

    What is the XO ? flashlight?

    The new XO flashlight will feature a flared head design with the standard power LED combined with an optically tuned, custom reflector system that delivers the advantage of a wide-angle short field and superior hot spot.
