An extremely lightweight handheld flashlight weighs 92 g. The length of a flashlight can affect how it feels in your hand and how you can grip and maneuver it. Aluminium is a lightweight material, which is beneficial for MT22C flashlight. The HAIII coating resists corrosion well. It shields the aluminum from moisture, humidity, and other corrosive elements. This flashlight comes in a sleek black color option.

System, LED, lens, reflector

Cree is widely regarded as a reputable LED manufacturer. 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 AR coating of the lens helps to reduce these reflections. It does this by changing the lens surface's refractive index. The MT22C uses multiple switches. The switches' placement and design determine this. They allow for one-handed operation.

Mechanical switches often offer tactile feedback. Users can feel a distinct click or resistance when they press the switch. The MT22C flashlight has a rear switch. Its operation is usually simple and easy to understand.

Performance, flux, intensity, throw

The 1000 lm output of MT22C provides great flexibility. You can adjust the brightness to fit different needs. The MT22C flashlight has 8600 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.

Software, user interface, modes

The MT22C flashlight has ramping mode. Its user interface lets you control the brightness by pressing and holding a button. You can use Strobe for signaling purposes. It can also be used for self-defense or to attract attention in emergency situations.
