The choice of color temperature depends on the specific lighting application and personal preferences. With the smooth reflector of the SRT7GT, the beam tends to have a well-defined hotspot at the center, which provides a concentrated beam of light for long-range applications.

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 SRT7GT flashlight. The multiple switch configuration on the SRT7GT flashlight can be a useful option, providing additional versatility and convenience in operating the flashlight. The SRT7GT has mechanical switch. Mechanical switches are known for their durability and reliability. They are typically built with robust construction, making them resistant to wear and tear, and capable of enduring various environmental conditions. The SRT7GT uses a reear switch.

The SRT7GT flashlight utilizes 1 x 18650 Li-Ion battery as its power source. The SRT7GT has a battery indicator. A battery indicator is a feature that provides information about the remaining power level of the flashlight's battery. It helps users monitor the battery status and estimate how much runtime they have left before the battery needs to be recharged or replaced. The SRT7GT cannot charge batteries directly. You may need an external charger to keep your battery going.

LVP (Low Voltage Protection) is designed to protect the battery from being over-discharged, which can lead to reduced battery life or even permanent damage. The built-in thermal control automatically adjusts brightness output to prevent overheating. The "8" in the IPx8 rating indicates the highest level of protection against water ingress. Auxiliary LEDs provide additional lighting options beyond the main beam of the SRT7GT flashlight. UV light is known to cause scorpions to fluoresce or emit a distinctive glow.
