Material	aluminium alloy with HAIII hard-anodized finish
Colors	black

This 158.5 g flashlight would be considered slightly heavier than average for a handheld flashlight, but it is still within a reasonable weight range. This weight range is often found in smaller and more compact flashlights designed for everyday use or portability. The ideal length of a flashlight depends on personal preference, intended use, and the specific features and functionality you're looking for.

The aluminium body of NEW P30 has excellent thermal conductivity, meaning it can effectively dissipate heat generated by the flashlight's components, such as the LED or battery. Hard-Anodized Type III (HAIII) is a specific anodizing process that creates a thicker and harder oxide layer compared to regular anodizing. It involves subjecting the aluminum to a higher voltage and a sulfuric acid bath, resulting in a dense and durable coating. The NEW P30 flashlight is offered in a stylish black color.

System

Emitter	Cree XP-L HI V3 LED
Color temperature	5000 K
Reflector	SMO
Lens	toughtened AR coated glass
Switch	electronic side, mechanical rear

The emitter of NEW P30 manufactured by Cree, a US-based LED manufacturing company. Cree is a well-regarded LED manufacturer known for its high-quality products and innovation in the lighting industry. 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 NEW P30 has a smooth reflector. The properly focused smooth reflector gives you a more cohesive hotspot and therefore throws better.

The AR coating reduces the loss of light due to reflections, allowing more light to pass through the lens. This can increase the overall brightness and efficiency of the NEW P30 flashlight. The multiple switch configuration on the NEW P30 flashlight can be a useful option, providing additional versatility and convenience in operating the flashlight. The NEW P30 utilizes electronic switch. Electronic switches on flashlights provide a range of advantages and additional features compared to mechanical switches.

They are typically built with robust construction, making them resistant to wear and tear, and capable of enduring various environmental conditions. The rear switch of NEW P30 is designed to be rugged and durable, capable of withstanding harsh conditions and repeated use.

Performance

Flux	1000 lm
Intensity	95500 cd
Throw	618 m
CD/LM factor	95.5

With 1000 lm, the NEW P30 flashlight will offer a brighter and more powerful beam of light. This higher output can be advantageous in various situations where you require enhanced visibility or need to illuminate larger areas. 95500 cd represents an extremely high level of brightness for a flashlight. The throw is the calculated distance in meters at which the flashlight produces a light intensity of 0.25 lux. Candela per lumen (cd/lm) is a measure of a flashlight's beam intensity relative to its total luminous flux or output. It quantifies the concentration of light emitted by the flashlight in relation to the total amount of light produced.
