The 'Luxor 2' is an advanced flashlight by PLX Devices that features adaptive digital focusing to provide the perfect beam of light for any given situation you find yourself in.
This smart flashlight will automatically detect where it is being pointed and oriented using a built-in 3-axis accelerometer similar to the technology found in smartphones. Using this advanced technology, the flashlight's LED beam will adjust according to how it is being used.
Point the 'Luxor 2' at the ground and it becomes a flood light. Furthermore, the beam will widen or narrow depending on the distance when pointed in a specific direction and will give off an instant lantern effect when placed on a flat surface. You can also cycle the light settings using a series of presets, or quickly adjust the beam manually with the push of a button.
