Exceed Designs’ newly released RAMPANT EDC signals the arrival of the future of flashlight interfaces. After nearly three years of research and development, this flashlight stands out with its sleek titanium or aluminum construction in a spread of finishes and coatings and the ability to deliver 1,300+ lumens using a high-CRI Nichia 519 5000K LED, with additional LED options for tailored performance. The highlight is its unique new ramping interface (hence the RAMPANT name), which uses a rocker switch built into the head that allows seamless brightness control without the hassle of cycling through various modes to get the lighting you want. The switch also allows instant access to Turbo and Moonlight by simply double-tapping up or down on the switch respectively, offering one of the most simple and intuitive interfaces we’ve seen in a light yet.
In true enthusiast fashion, the RAMPANT also features a modular swappable lens system, which is made possible by the proprietary RampantKey for the quick and hassle-free replacement of lenses or reflectors. A floating rear clip collar offers flexible orientation (and uses T8 screws!), while the minimalist exterior emphasizes function over unnecessary embellishments. Compatible with both AA and rechargeable batteries in the R4 model, or 18650s for the big brother R8, the RAMPANT is built to perform in all conditions, with IP68 waterproofing, sapphire glass options, and advanced thermal management via a precision-milled copper pill in the titanium models. As Exceed Designs’ latest innovation, the RAMPANT redefines what an EDC flashlight can offer, delivering simplicity, adaptability, and high performance in a refined design.
