Warm white light is generally considered more comfortable and less harsh on the eyes compared to cool white light. The TK22 UE features a smooth reflector (SMO). If long-range illumination and throw distance are the primary requirements, a flashlight with a smooth reflector may be more suitable.

The AR coating on the lens maximizes light transmission, making the flashlight more effective in darker environments. The TK22 UE uses multiple switches. Depending on the placement and design of the switches, a multiple switch configuration can allow for one-handed operation.

Performance

The 1600 lm output of TK22 UE provides greater versatility, as you can adjust the brightness levels to suit different lighting needs. The TK22 UE flashlight with 41133 cd has an extended throw distance, allowing you to illuminate objects or areas at greater distances. This can be advantageous for outdoor activities, search and rescue operations, or scenarios where long-range visibility is required. The throw distance refers to the maximum distance at which the flashlight can effectively illuminate an object or target. The stated throw distance typically indicates the point at which the brightness falls below a specified threshold, such as 0.25 lux. Flashlights with a higher cd/lm ratio typically excel in long-range throw and focused beam applications, while flashlights with a lower cd/lm ratio may provide a wider and more evenly distributed beam for closer-range illumination or general-purpose use.

Software

Modes on a flashlight refer to different output settings or levels of brightness that can be selected to suit different needs and preferences. The TK22 UE has mode memory. Mode memory means that the flashlight will remember the mode you were using when the light was last turned off, and when you turn it on again.
