The Tube V2.0 flashlight utilizes integrated Li-Ion battery as its power source. USB rechargeable flashlights have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their convenience and sustainability. 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. This flashlight doesn't have built-in temperature control. Flashlights without thermal protection may rely on other design elements for heat dissipation, such as heat sinks, fins, or body materials with good thermal conductivity.

The "6" in the IP65 rating represents the level of protection against solid objects, specifically dust and foreign particles. It indicates that the Tube V2.0 flashlight, is fully protected against the entry of dust and other solid objects. The IP65 rating indicates that the Tube V2.0 flashlight has a protection against water jets.
