It cuts reflections and boosts light transmission. The electronic switches may have a higher chance of standby drain.

Performance, flux, intensity, throw

The TM39 flashlight has 5200 lm. It will provide an exceptionally bright and powerful beam of light. These flashlights have very high intensity. They need lots of power and make a lot of heat, this is because they have high energy output. The throw is the distance in meters at which the flashlight produces a light intensity of 0.25 lux. 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

A flashlight's modes are different output settings or brightness levels. They can be chosen to meet different needs and preferences. The flashlight has mode memory.
