Body, materials, weight, colors

The 46 g flashlight may not provide the same level of brightness or features as larger models. A smaller flashlight is easier to carry in a pocket, bag, or pouch. This makes it more convenient for everyday use or when you're on the go. The aluminum bodies can be anodized. This adds a protective layer and a wide range of color options for flashlight bodies. HAIII is a specific anodizing process. It creates a thicker and harder oxide layer than regular anodizing. This flashlight features a captivating black color.

System, LED, lens, reflector

Lighting professionals trust Cree LEDs. Cree LEDs have gained a strong reputation for quality and performance. The color temperature choice depends on the light's use and personal taste. This TIR lens offers flexibility. It can create many beam patterns, from wide angles to spotlights. Some flashlights with electronic switches have programmable features. They allow users to customize the behavior of the flashlight.

Performance, flux, intensity, throw

The 900 lm output of H04 provides great flexibility. You can adjust the brightness to fit different needs. The H04 flashlight has 3800 cd. It provides a much brighter and more intense beam. The throw distance is the farthest distance the flashlight can light an object. The candela per lumen (cd/lm) ratio can be used to determine if a flashlight has a spot or flood type beam.

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 H04 is tactical strobe ready. The strobe light is disorienting to the person it is aimed at, this makes it hard for them to concentrate. The SOS flashes Morse code so you can signal for help when needed.

The H04 flashlight utilizes 1 x 18650 Li-Ion battery as its power source. The battery indicator lets you know when the battery is low, charging, or fully charged. The H04 doesn't have charger port. The Low Voltage Protection helps save the battery's capacity. It stops it from reaching a critically low voltage. The H04 has thermal protection feature. These mechanisms track and regulate the flashlight's temperature as it operates.

The flashlight has an IPx8 rating. It can withstand being submerged in water beyond 1 meter for a prolonged period. The manufacturer specifies this. The H04 is magnetic so that the flashlight can be attached to some metallic surfaces.

Accessories, package contents

The clip allows you to attach this flashlight to a belt, pocket, backpack, or other items. This enables convenient hands-free carry. The lanyard prevents accidental loss of the flashlight. Instead of searching for matching O-rings, having spare O-rings allows quick fixes.

According to the ANSI/NEMA FL1 Standard, we measure the performance of the H04 flashlight 30 seconds after switching on the light. The ANSI/NEMA FL1 2009 Standard is a set of flashlight performance guidelines.
