The Klarus HC3 Pro is a lightweight, multi-purpose torch designed for versatile hands-free illumination. It delivers up to 260 lumens with a beam distance of 67 metres, and features a built-in motion sensor for convenient activation with a simple hand wave. Powered by a built-in 600mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the torch recharges via USB Type-C in approximately 2 hours. It features a 5700K cool white LED for primary illumination, complemented by a red light source offering both steady and flashing modes for night vision preservation and emergency signalling. The torch provides multiple white light levels, with runtime extending up to 36.5 hours on its lowest setting. It has a peak beam intensity of 1132 candela. An IPX6 ingress protection rating and 2m impact resistance ensure durability, while a top-mounted switch provides simple operation.
Features
- Motion Sensor Activation: Activate or deactivate the light with a simple wave of your hand, ideal for use with gloves or dirty hands.

Performance and Runtime Disclaimer
How to read the data: The outputs provided above are maximum outputs for each mode, and the runtimes provided are the time it takes to drop to 10% of the initial output. This is in line with the International Flashlight Testing Standard ANSI FL1.
Any visual representations (graphs) of the data are approximate only.

The actual output of the torch/headlamp is controlled by an in-built temperature regulation system. As the torch/headlamp heats up, the brightness will drop to prevent overheating. The Turbo modes of torches/headlamps usually drop down significantly after anything from 15 seconds to 2 minutes. High modes often also experience a drop down over time. Medium and Low modes, however, can be constant for very close to the length of time specified. As the torch/headlamp cools down, either from being turned off or from being used on a lower output level, you will be able to access higher brightness levels again.
Example: An output of 2000 lumens and runtime of 5 hours does not mean 2000 lumens for 5 hours — it means it starts at 2000 lumens and drops below 200 lumens after 5 hours of continuous use.
Turbo and high modes may be unavailable or limited as the battery gets low on charge.
Exact specifications can vary between torches, batteries, age and environments.
