The emitter of I3S EOS 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 orange peel reflector of I3S EOS is designed to improve the beam characteristics of the flashlight by diffusing the light emitted from the light source.

Performance

Flux	80 lm
Intensity	361 cd
Throw	38 m
CD/LM factor	4.51

80 lm can provide a decent amount of brightness and be suitable for many everyday tasks, it may not be sufficient for certain scenarios or individuals with specific requirements. 361 cd can provide a reasonable level of luminous intensity for many everyday lighting tasks. 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.

Software

Modes	3 modes
Mode memory	no
Ramping mode	no
Strobe	yes
SOS/Beacon	no

Modes on a flashlight refer to different output settings or levels of brightness that can be selected to suit different needs and preferences. The I3S EOS is tactical strobe ready. The strobe light is disorienting to the person it is aimed at which makes it difficult for them to concentrate.
