One instrument.
Five beams.
Zero ceremony.

Nova 1 is a flashlight that an engineer would design for an engineer. Precise. Quiet. Unfussy. Built to be the last one in your bag.

Five independent light modules — main beam, dual-temperature work light, signal beacon, UV inspection, and emergency strobe — all cycled by one tactile knob. No app. No menu trees. No multi-click sequences to remember at 3 AM.

And one more sense, built in: a vibration-triggered 120-decibel alarm that turns Nova 1 into a silent guard the moment you walk away from your bag.

Optical System

Five beams.
One body.

Each light source engineered for what it does best — and switched without ever taking your eyes off what matters.

Module 01 · Primary

Main beam.

A high-output throw beam, tuned for distance and instant response. The light you reach for when there's no time to think about which mode you need.

Module 02 · Work

COB dual-temp.

Wide-area flood. Warm for finish work, cool for inspection. Switched on the same axis as everything else.

Module 03 · Signal

Red + blue beacon.

Roadside visibility before someone needs to call for you. Alternating strobe, tuned for distance.

Module 04 · UV

365nm inspection.

A second sense. Fluorescence detection, hidden marks, leak inspection — the things you wouldn't otherwise see.

Module 05 · Emergency

Strobe + SOS.

A pre-set sequence one click away. International SOS pattern, full-output strobe, low-battery distress.

Nova 1 rotary encoder
Control Core

One twist.
Everything else.

A tail-mounted rotary encoder with the right damping. Six positions on one axis, stepless dimming inside each. Gold-contact mechanism rated for over 100,000 cycles.

No menu trees. No multi-click sequences. No app to open in the dark. Pick it up, twist, work.

— Anti-theft alarm

A guard.
Built in.

Drop Nova 1 onto your bag and walk away. A built-in vibration sensor turns the moment anyone touches it into a 120-decibel alarm — loud enough to clear a café, a hotel lobby, or a thief's nerve.

— Anti-theft alarm
— 01 · Set & forget

Drop. Twist. Walk away.

Twist into guard mode. Place it on your bag, on the table at a café, or on the hotel-room door. The sensor stays watchful so you don't have to.

— 02 · Touch to trigger

Felt before you hear it.

A built-in piezo sensor catches the smallest tilt — even before someone picks the bag up. Sensitivity is adjustable across three levels.

— 03 · 120 decibels

Loud enough that no one ignores it.

A clean 120-decibel piezo buzzer cuts through any room. The kind of sound that turns every head and makes a thief regret the impulse. Disarm in two clicks once you're back.

Who it's for

For those who carry.

Nova 1 is for the people who think carefully about what's in their bag — and want one less thing to compromise on.

— Type 01

The EDC carrier.

Your bag is curated. You spent a year deciding which knife. You don't need another flashlight — you need the right one.

DailyBackpackEDC
— Type 02

The field engineer.

A flashlight is a tool in your kit, not an accessory. It needs to mount, dim, and not die mid-job. Bonus if it doesn't embarrass you on site.

WorkshopFieldDIY
— Type 03

The roadside helper.

A spare in your glovebox isn't optional. The moment it matters, you don't want to be searching for the brightness button.
