Performance
The throw is the calculated distance in meters at which the flashlight produces a light intensity of 0.25 lux. The candela per lumen (cd/lm) ratio can be used to determine if a flashlight has a spot or flood type beam. Well-focused spot beams can be over 100 cd/lm, tactical flashlights are typically between 20-100 cd/lm, and work lights are less than 10 cd/lm.

Features
The PT40 SST20 cannot charge batteries directly. You may need an external charger to keep your battery going. This flashlight has a built-in low voltage protection (LVP) to prevent damage to the cell from over-discharge, so protected cells are not necessary. The built-in thermal control automatically adjusts brightness output to prevent overheating. The PT40 SST20 is magnetic so that the flashlight can be attached to some metallic surfaces.
| Battery | 1 x 18650 Li-Ion battery |
|---|---|
| Battery indicator | no |
| Charger port | no |
| LVP | yes |
| Thermal regulation | yes |
