This 1800 g flashlight is quite heavy for a handheld flashlight. The length of a flashlight can affect how it feels in your hand and how you can grip and maneuver it. The aluminium body of the BLF GT90 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 BLF GT90 flashlight comes in a stylish black color.

It is used to quantify the color appearance of light sources. The BLF GT90 has a smooth reflector. The right reflector focuses light well. It gives you a better hotspot, and it throws better. The AR coating reduces the loss of light due to reflections, allowing more light to pass through the lens. The flashlight has electronic switches. They have many benefits and extra features compared to mechanical switches.

NarsilM has a user-friendly interface. It allows for intuitive operation and navigation through modes and settings. 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 ramping mode has an advantage. It offers precise control over the light amount emitted by the flashlight. You can use Strobe for signaling purposes. It can also be used for self-defense or to attract attention in emergency situations. The BLF GT90's SOS mode produces a specific sequence of long and short flashes. It signals distress or emergency.

The Lumintop BLF GT90 flashlight is powered by 8 x 18650 Li-Ion batteries. The battery indicator helps users check the battery status. It also estimates how much runtime they have left before recharging the battery. The BLF GT90 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 built-in thermal control adjusts brightness output to prevent overheating. The "6" in the IP65 rating shows the level of protection. It's against solid objects, like dust and foreign particles. The IP65 rating indicates that the flashlight has a protection against water jets.

According to the ANSI/NEMA FL1 Standard, we measure the performance of the BLF GT90 flashlight 30 seconds after switching on the light. The ANSI/NEMA FL1 2009 Standard is a set of flashlight performance guidelines.
