Warm, white light is generally more comfortable. It's also less harsh on the eyes than cool, white light. If you need long-range light, get a flashlight with a smooth reflector. It will have more throw distance. The electronic switches may have a higher chance of standby drain.

The 1000 lm output of MT10 provides great flexibility. You can adjust the brightness to fit different needs. The MT10 flashlight has 8100 cd. It provides a much brighter and more intense beam. The throw distance is the farthest distance the flashlight can light an object. Candela per lumen (cd/lm) measures a flashlight's beam intensity. It compares this to its total luminous flux or output. If accurate color is a priority for you, choose a flashlight with a CRI of 90 or above. The CRI of 65 can still be sufficient for many general lighting applications. Color fidelity is not critical in these cases.
