The MT07 SST20 generally comfortable to hold for extended periods and easy to carry in pockets or bags. The length of a flashlight can also impact its balance and weight distribution. A well-balanced flashlight, where the weight is evenly distributed, can be more comfortable to hold for longer periods and reduce hand fatigue. Aluminium is a lightweight material, which is beneficial for MT07 SST20 flashlight.

The HAIII process produces a hard and wear-resistant surface on the aluminum, making it more resistant to scratches, abrasions, and impacts. This improves the overall durability of the flashlight body. The MT07 SST20 offers an impressive assortment of captivating colors: black, gun gray, olive green, sand, silver.

System

Emitter	7 x Luminus SST20 LEDs
Color temperature	4000 K, 5000 K, 6500 K
Reflector	TIR
Lens	TIR
Switch	electronic side

Luminus has established a positive reputation as a reliable LED manufacturer, and their products are widely used and trusted by lighting professionals and enthusiasts alike. Warm white light is generally considered more comfortable and less harsh on the eyes compared to cool white light. The TIR lens of MT07 SST20 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 MT07 SST20 has electronic switch. The electronic switches may have a higher likelihood of standby drain compared to mechanical switches since they require a small amount of power for operation.

Performance

Flux	5500 lm
Intensity	43000 cd
Throw	415 m
CD/LM factor	7.82
CRI	95

With 5500 lm, the MT07 SST20 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. The MT07 SST20 flashlight with 43000 cd has an extended throw distance, allowing you to illuminate objects or areas at greater distances. This can be advantageous for outdoor activities, search and rescue operations, or scenarios where long-range visibility is required.

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.

If accurate color representation is a priority for your specific needs, a flashlight with a CRI of 90 or above is highly recommended. With a CRI of 95, the MT07 SST20 flashlight can render colors with exceptional fidelity, capturing even subtle nuances and details in color. This makes it particularly well-suited for applications where precise color discrimination and accurate color reproduction are critical.

Software

Firmware	Anduril
Mode memory	yes
Ramping mode	yes
Strobe	yes
SOS/Beacon	yes

The Anduril firmware has gained popularity among flashlight enthusiasts due to its versatility, ease of use, and the ability to customize flashlight behavior. The MT07 SST20 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 MT07 SST20 flashlight with ramping mode has a user interface that enables you to control the brightness level by pressing and holding a button.

The strobe function on the MT07 SST20 flashlight is a feature that produces a rapid and repetitive flashing of light. It is designed to create a disorienting or attention-grabbing effect. The MT07 SST20 has an SOS signal mode. The SOS code consists of three short signals, followed by three long signals, and then three short signals again.

The power source of the MT07 SST20 flashlight is 1 x 26650 Li-Ion battery, providing reliable and long-lasting energy for optimal performance. Having a battery indicator on a flashlight is beneficial as it allows users to monitor the battery status and make informed decisions regarding recharging or replacing the battery. It helps prevent unexpected power failures during critical situations and ensures that the flashlight is ready for use when needed.

The MT07 SST20 flashlight can be charged directly from a USB power source, such as a wall adapter, computer, power bank, or car charger. This allows for convenient and versatile charging options, as you can utilize various USB power sources to recharge the flashlight's internal battery. When the MT07 SST20 flashlight detects that the voltage of the battery has dropped to a certain threshold, it automatically reduces or cuts off the power output to prevent further discharge. This helps to preserve the battery's capacity and prevent it from reaching a critically low voltage level.

The MT07 SST20 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 "7" in the IPx7 rating indicates that the MT07 SST20 flashlight, can withstand being submerged in water up to a certain depth for a limited time without being damaged. Auxiliary LEDs are typically designed to consume less power compared to the main lighting source, such as a white LED. This energy-efficient feature allows for extended battery life, ensuring longer usage time before needing to recharge or replace batteries.

Accessories

Package contents	18650 adapter 2 x spare o-rings 21700 adapter lanyard

When gripping the flashlight with the lanyard around your wrist, it provides a more secure and stable hold. Regularly replacing worn or damaged O-rings helps maintain the overall durability and performance of the flashlight.

The performance of the Mateminco MT07 SST20 flashlight is measured according to the ANSI / NEMA FL1 Standard 30 seconds after switching the light on. The ANSI/NEMA FL1 2009 Standard is a set of flashlight performance guidelines.
