This 550 g flashlight is quite heavy for a handheld flashlight. The best flashlight size depends on personal preference. It also depends on intended use and the specific features you want. The aluminium body of the MF01 Nichia 219C has excellent thermal conductivity. This means it can effectively dissipate heat generated by the flashlight's components. HAIII is a specific anodizing process. It creates a thicker and harder oxide layer than regular anodizing. The MF01 Nichia 219C flashlight comes in a stylish black color.

System, LED, lens, reflector

Their exceptional color quality is a well-known characteristic of Nichia LEDs. They are also known for their high efficiency and long lifespan. The color temperature choice depends on the light's use and personal taste. The TIR lens of the MF01 Nichia 219C can reduce light loss. To achieve high light output, it captures and redirects much of the emitted light. Some flashlights with electronic switches have programmable features. They allow users to customize the behavior of the flashlight.

Performance, flux, intensity, throw

Bright flashlights are often larger and heavier. This is because they have more LEDs, better cooling, and bigger batteries. The flashlight has 52840 cd. It will provide a strong beam of light. This light can illuminate objects or areas with great brightness and clarity. The throw is the 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.

Software, user interface, modes

A flashlight's modes are different output settings or brightness levels. They can be chosen to meet different needs and preferences. The flashlight has mode memory. It remembers the mode you were using when the light was last turned off. It stays in that mode when you turn it on again. Designers created the strobe function to produce a disorienting or attention-grabbing effect. The SOS code starts three short signals. Then, three long signals follow. Finally, there are three short signals again.

Features, battery, protections

The MF01 Nichia 219C flashlight utilizes 4 x 18650 Li-Ion batteries as its power source. The battery indicator prevents surprise power failures. It ensures the flashlight is ready when needed. The MF01 Nichia 219C cannot charge batteries. You may need an external charger to keep your battery going. The flashlight detects when the battery's voltage has dropped to a certain level. Then, it reduces or cuts off the power.

The MF01 Nichia 219C has thermal protection feature. These mechanisms track and regulate the flashlight's temperature as it operates. The "8" in the IPx8 rating means the highest level of protection. It is against water ingress.

Accessories, package contents

The lanyard of the MF01 Nichia 219C protects the flashlight from accidental damage. It does this by stopping it from falling or hitting the ground. Instead of searching for matching O-rings, having spare O-rings allows quick fixes.
