Material	copper head, aluminium alloy body with HAIII hard-anodized finish
Colors	black

The 82.8 g flashlight would be considered extremely lightweight for a handheld flashlight. The ideal length of a flashlight depends on personal preference, intended use, and the specific features and functionality you're looking for. Aluminium is a lightweight material, which is beneficial for E14 III flashlight. The HAIII coating often has a matte or textured finish, which enhances grip and provides a comfortable feel in the hand. This can be particularly useful in situations where a secure grip on the flashlight is essential, such as in wet or slippery conditions. This flashlight comes in a sleek black color option.

System

Emitter	4 x Samsung LH351D LEDs
Color temperature	4000 K, 6500 K
Reflector	TIR
Lens	TIR
Switch	electronic rear

Samsung LEDs are known for their energy efficiency, enabling significant energy savings compared to traditional lighting sources. Color temperature is a characteristic of light. It is measured in units called Kelvin (K) and is used to quantify the color appearance of light sources, particularly white light. The TIR lens of E14 III consists of a single-piece lens made of a transparent material, typically acrylic or polycarbonate. Its shape and internal geometry are designed to achieve specific light distribution patterns, such as flood or spot beams, by manipulating the behavior of light rays.

The E14 III utilizes electronic switch. Electronic switches on flashlights provide a range of advantages and additional features compared to mechanical switches. The rear switch of E14 III is designed to be rugged and durable, capable of withstanding harsh conditions and repeated use.

Performance

Flux	4000 lm
Intensity	6000 cd
Throw	155 m
CD/LM factor	1.5

With 4000 lm, the E14 III flashlight will provide an exceptionally bright and powerful beam of light. It can illuminate large areas, outdoor spaces, or even act as a temporary spotlight in certain situations. With 6000 cd, the E14 III flashlight provides a noticeably brighter and more intense beam of light. It can illuminate objects or areas with greater clarity and visibility, even at longer distances.

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. The candela per lumen (cd/lm) ratio can be used to determine if a flashlight has a spot or flood type beam. Well-focused spot beams can be over 100 cd/lm, tactical flashlights are typically between 20-100 cd/lm, and work lights are less than 10 cd/lm.

Software

Modes	5 modes
Mode memory	yes
Ramping mode	no
Strobe	yes
SOS/Beacon	yes

Modes on a flashlight refer to different output settings or levels of brightness that can be selected to suit different needs and preferences. The E14 III 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. The E14 III is tactical strobe ready. The strobe light is disorienting to the person it is aimed at which makes it difficult for them to concentrate. It has the SOS beacon function for an emergency situation. The SOS flashes Morse code so you can signal for help when needed. The SOS signal is recognized as an international distress call and is used to indicate an urgent need for assistance.

Features

Battery	1 x 18350 Li-Ion battery

The Manker E14 III flashlight is powered by 1 x 18350 Li-Ion battery. The E14 III doesn't have charger port. A charger port is a designated connection point or interface where you can plug in a charger to recharge the flashlight's battery. This flashlight has a built-in low voltage protection (LVP) to prevent damage to the cell from over-discharge, so protected cells are not necessary. The E14 III has thermal protection feature. The thermal protection mechanisms are designed to monitor and regulate the temperature of the flashlight during operation. This feature helps prevent overheating, which can be detrimental to the flashlight's performance, battery, and overall safety.

The E14 III flashlight with IPx8 rating can withstand being submerged in water beyond 1 meter for a prolonged period, typically specified by the manufacturer. It is important to consider the impact resistance rating when selecting a flashlight, especially if you anticipate using it in situations where accidental drops or impacts are likely to occur.

Accessories

Package contents	18350 battery with USB Type-C USB Type-C cable clip lanyard spare o-ring

Obtaining a flashlight with an included battery saves you the time and effort of searching for a compatible battery or waiting for a separate battery to arrive.
