Body, materials, weight, colors

The Seeker 2 is generally comfortable to hold for a long time. It is also easy to carry in pockets or bags. A balanced flashlight has even weight. It can be more comfortable to hold for longer and reduce hand fatigue. The aluminium body of the Seeker 2 has a reputation for being durable and strong.

Factors can influence the color choice of the flashlight body. These include intended use, environment, personal style, and requirements.

System, LED, lens, reflector

Osram has a reputation for producing LEDs that deliver consistent quality and durability. Warm, white light is generally more comfortable. It's also less harsh on the eyes than cool, white light. The TIR lens makes the LED light collimated. It does this into efficient, well-controlled beams. These beams maximize the usable lumens in the target area. The electronic switches may have a higher chance of standby drain.

Performance, flux, intensity, throw

With 3000 lm, the Seeker 2 flashlight will offer a brighter and more powerful beam of light. The Seeker 2 flashlight has 12100 cd. It can light objects at greater distances. 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. It remembers the mode you were using when the light was last turned off. It stays in that mode when you turn it on again. The Seeker 2 flashlight has a strobe function. It produces a rapid, repetitive flashing of light.

Features, battery, protections

The Seeker 2 flashlight's power source is 1 x special 21700 Li-Ion battery. It provides reliable, long-lasting energy for top performance. A battery indicator lets users see the battery status. It helps them decide when to recharge or replace the battery. A flashlight's USB charger can be very useful. This is especially true in emergencies. In such situations, access to power outlets may be limited. Use a protected battery. This flashlight lacks low voltage protection (LVP).

The thermal protection feature helps prevent overheating. Overheating can harm the flashlight's performance, battery, and safety. The "8" in the IPx8 rating means the highest level of protection. It is against water ingress.

Accessories, package contents

By including a battery with the flashlight, you avoid the extra expense. You would have to buy a battery separately. When gripping the flashlight with the lanyard around your wrist, it gives a more secure hold. It also gives a more stable hold.
