Product Description
Small and mighty, the Klarus Mi7 Prismatic is a take-anywhere torch with plenty of power. With a typical AA battery, it offers up to 330 lumens, but load it with a lithium-ion 14500 battery and you get an impressive 700 lumens of output and a beam that shines over 100 meters Read More

I was curious if anyone has had an issue with this light not working with a li ion 14500 battery. I first tried a new out of the package then charged Olight brand 14500. Light is totally dead. But when i put the generic AA the light works fine. I tried 2 other 14500. I have been through the instruction book with no sucess
How quickly does this drain battery? I'm going for 10 days of hiking at Philmont this summer and was wondering if this could run for 10 days without recharging a battery. I know it seems unrealistic but i had a cheap flashlight off amazon a few years ago that lasted for about a year with one charge, probably adding up in total use time to about 30 days. Sadly this flashlight exploded while charging after the battery started to die
I'm glad others have posted about the User Interface.
I don't care for the UI as described by other customers. Typically the two most prevalent first on modes of a Low(or moonlight) or High(Max) are the most popular. I can live with the High being the first mode from off, but having to change modes prior to turning the light off is a deal breaker for me.
In regards to the standby battery drain, all electronic switching that does not include a mechanical electrical lockout will drain the cell(s) over time. I haven't read any posts here of accidental pocket activations causing the battery to bleed itself dead, just the standby current of the light itself. Surefire holds a patent on tailcap lockout and level changing using a head twist, not sure if this light breaks the connection when the head is loosened, but that would be my go to solution if it works and I owned one.
I own many electronic switched torches. Of all single cell powered, the shortest storage time is 4 months.
The slim body design, good build, dual feed AA or 14500 batteries and variety of finishes, etc. are nice BUT potential users should be aware of the unusual mode order on the Mi7. Initial click for On goes to High and in order to turn Off, one must first click again which lowers to Medium, then click again to turn Off (always passing through Medium before Off). Other lights typically operate as Single-click or Click-n-hold for Off. Low can be access directly from Off by a simple click-n-hold (nice) but then you can't get to Medium or High from Low without first turn the light Off and back On again. Strange to say the least.
Please be aware that this light has a) a too high selfdischarge rate (much higher than eg Zebralights) and b) no low discharge protection for 14500 batteries. It has killed one of my 14500s in only a few weeks of nonuse. It’s no good idea to keep the battery in the light over a longer period of time.
