Performance, flux, intensity, throw

Flux4500 lm
Intensity15000 cd
Throw245 m
CD/LM factor3.33
CRI66

The E07 SST20 CW flashlight has 4500 lm. It will provide an exceptionally bright and powerful beam of light. The E07 SST20 CW flashlight has 15000 cd. It can light objects at greater distances. The throw distance is the farthest distance the flashlight can light an object. The cd/lm factor is the candela-to-lumen ratio. It shows how concentrated a light source's output is. A flashlight with a higher CRI can show colors more accurately. This is useful for examining objects, it helps tell colors apart in low-light or nighttime. The CRI of 66 can still be sufficient for many general lighting applications. Color fidelity is not critical in these cases.

Anduril lets users customize many parameters. These include mode spacing, mode order, and shortcuts. 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. The E07 SST20 CW flashlight has ramping mode. Its user interface lets you control the brightness by pressing and holding a button. The E07 SST20 CW is tactical strobe ready. The strobe light is disorienting to the person it is aimed at, this makes it hard for them to concentrate. The SOS flashes Morse code so you can signal for help when needed.
