The "SP" edition of the D10 is a special edition that features "hidden" SOS and Strobe modes and has a digital safety lock-out function.

Choosing Constant Output

To choose your level of constant output, first turn on the light by tightening the head or (if the head is already tightened) by pressing the tailcap once. Then, press and continue to hold the tailcap and the D10 SP will cycle through it's three levels: low, medium, and high. Release the button to save the level you want.

Choosing SOS / Strobe

To choose the "hidden" SOS or Strobe modes, first turn on the light. To access SOS, quickly double-press the tailcap (do not hold it down). To access Strobe, double-press the tailcap and continue to hold down the second press. SOS and Strobe modes are not "memorized," so the light will always turn on to whatever constant output you have saved.

Digital Safety Lock-Out

To lock-out the D10 SP so that it won't accidentally activate from a tailcap press, first turn off the light and then press and hold the tailcap for more than one second. The light will flash once to indicate that it is now in lock-out mode. To cancel lock-out, simply triple-press the tailcap rapidly.

Summary of specifications for EX10 and D10

• Unique electronic-controlled extremely reliable switch design.
• Piston Drive (PD) design makes the light more compact than lights with traditional clicky switches.
• Switch reliability is greatly increased over traditional switches.
• Electronically controlled switching - no spark generated from the piston contact since the microprocessor switches on the light AFTER the piston makes contact. This eliminates the risk of explosion in a flammable environment!
• Electric current passes through the piston on the INSIDE of the light. No current is passed through the outside shell, which is hard-coat anodized.
• When the light is off, the microprocessor draws very, very little power - between 0.1-0.4ma (0.2ma typical). For example, one 2000mah cell would last about 416 days!
• Extremely compact size and lightweight suitable for Every Day Carry (EDC).
• As with all NiteCore products, they use tough, imported 7075 military-grade aluminum!
• Mil-Spec Type III Hard Anodized finish - no bare aluminum exposed, making it more durable.
• Aggressive knurling over most of the surface - maximizes grip.
• Resistant to impact from dropping in accordance with US MIL-STD-810F.
• Waterproof to IPX-8 standard.
• Broad-voltage fully regulated circuit, compatible with standard primary batteries as well as protected li-ion cells (batteries should not exceed 50mm in length or it may interfere with its operation)
• Uses a highly efficient Cree XP-E Q3 LED lamp.
• 130 lumens at maximum output.
• Extended runtime on low (2 lumens)
• Metal reflector with optical grade coating.
• Impact-resistant optical lens with anti-reflective coating on both sides
• Tactical lanyard with military-grade 550 parachute-cord.
• Able to tail-stand to act as a candle.

The D10:

• Uses common AA's as well as protected lithium-ion R14500's!
• Dimensions: 89mm x 19mm or 3.5in x 0.75in (length x diameter)
• Weight: 40g or 1.4oz (without batteries)
• Runtimes on one AA (please note that these are for the R2 version and the Q3 will be slightly lower)
  Max: 130 lumens, 50 minutes
  Min: 3 lumens, 45 hours or 1.9 days!
• Runtimes on one R14500 (protected only)
  Max: 145 lumens, 80 minutes
  Min: 5 lumens, 60 hours or 2.5 days!
