The Nitecore GEM10 is a professional gemstone identifier with infinitely variable brightness white light between 800 lumens and 1 lumen from a Cree XP-L HI V3 LED.
There are various models in the GEM series for different stones and the GEM10 is best used for larger and raw gemstone inspection due to the wider head design and higher lumen output than the GEM8. Exclusively designed for large Jade inspection, adopting the crystal coating technology with precision digital optics technology for uniform light.
The special design has a better beam focus, with the convergent light ensuring a clear inspection and the flat top of the GEM10 allows for close observation without scratching the item. The LED allows for great penetrability of the gem to identify the texture, technique, flaw or crack of gemstones and is great for identifying impurities of Jades.
The rotary switch is turned clockwise until a click is heard and the light come on at the lowest point and can be gradually made brighter by continuing to rotate the switch, allowing you to select the best output depending on the size of the gemstone. Turn the switch back anti-clockwise until a click is heard to turn the light off again.
The side of the torch has an integrated measurement scale so you can easily measure the size of the gemstone. The GEM10 is powered by two CR123A lithium metal non-rechargeable batteries or one 18650 lithium-ion rechargeable battery.
The advanced temperature regulation module allows the GEM10 to regulate its output and adapt to the ambient environment to maintain optimal performance.
Product Features
Rotary switch allows infinite brightness
High efficiency constant circuit
Tail stand capability
Advanced temperature regulation
Operational Modes
Turbo: 800 lumens; 1 hour run-time; 186 m beam range
Ultralow: 1 lumens; 500 hours run-time; 7 m beam range
Please note: Advanced temperature regulation technology allows the GEM10 to dynamically adjust the output performance according to it's temperature to prevent damaged from over heating. The turbo run-time is tested without the advanced temperature regulation, therefore results may vary between torch, battery and environment.
Tested to ANSI/NEMA FL1 standards in laboratory conditions using 1 x Nitecore 18650 3500 mAh lithium-ion battery.
Important Battery and Battery Charger Information
Primary Cells - Please note that CR123A lithium metal primary battery cells are not rechargeable.
Rechargeable Cells - If you are intending to use lithium-ion rechargeable batteries then you will also need to purchase a suitable battery charger if you do not already have one.
