They have many benefits and extra features compared to mechanical switches.

Performance, flux, intensity, throw

280 lm can provide a decent amount of brightness and be suitable for many everyday tasks. The WF30RE flashlight has 7225 cd. It provides a much brighter and more intense beam. The throw is the distance in meters at which the flashlight produces a light intensity of 0.25 lux. The cd/lm factor is the candela-to-lumen ratio. It shows how concentrated a light source's output is.

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 WF30RE is tactical strobe ready. The strobe light is disorienting to the person it is aimed at, this makes it hard for them to concentrate.
