The 45 g flashlight would be considered extremely lightweight for a handheld flashlight. The length of a flashlight can affect how it feels in your hand and how you can grip and maneuver it. A longer flashlight may provide a more substantial grip, making it easier to hold and control, especially if you have larger hands. Aluminium is a lightweight material, which is beneficial for T1 flashlight. The HAIII coating can also enhance the visual appearance of the flashlight. It offers a uniform and attractive finish, often available in different colors, giving the flashlight a sleek and professional look. This flashlight offers a wide array of color options, allowing you to choose from a diverse range of hues to suit your personal style and preferences.

System

Emitter	Cree XHP50 LED
Color temperature	6500 K / 5000 K
Reflector	SMO
Lens	glass
Switch	electronic side

The emitter of T1 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 smooth reflector is typically used in flashlights where long-range illumination is a priority, such as searchlights or thrower flashlights. By minimizing light scattering and maximizing light directionality, the smooth reflector can produce a tighter and more concentrated beam that reaches greater distances. The T1 utilizes electronic switch. Electronic switches on flashlights provide a range of advantages and additional features compared to mechanical switches.

Performance

Flux	1500 lm
Intensity	2600 cd
Throw	102 m
CD/LM factor	1.73

The 1500 lm output of T1 provides greater versatility, as you can adjust the brightness levels to suit different lighting needs. With 2600 cd, the T1 flashlight provides a noticeably brighter and more intense beam of light. It can illuminate objects or areas with greater clarity and visibility, even at longer distances. The throw distance refers to the maximum distance at which the flashlight can effectively illuminate an object or target. The stated throw distance typically indicates the point at which the brightness falls below a specified threshold, such as 0.25 lux. The candela per lumen (cd/lm) ratio can be used to determine if a flashlight has a spot or flood type beam. Well-focused spot beams can be over 100 cd/lm, tactical flashlights are typically between 20-100 cd/lm, and work lights are less than 10 cd/lm.

Software

Mode memory	yes
Ramping mode	yes
Strobe	yes
SOS/Beacon	no

The T1 has mode memory. Mode memory means that the flashlight will remember the mode you were using when the light was last turned off, and when you turn it on again. The T1 flashlight with ramping mode has a user interface that enables you to control the brightness level by pressing and holding a button. The T1 is tactical strobe ready. The strobe light is disorienting to the person it is aimed at which makes it difficult for them to concentrate.

Features

Battery	1 x 18350 Li-Ion battery
Battery indicator	yes
Charger port	yes
LVP	yes
Thermal regulation	yes
Protection	IPx8
AUX LEDs	no
Magnetic	yes

The Thrunite T1 flashlight is powered by 1 x 18350 Li-Ion battery. The battery indicator lets you know when the battery is low, charging, or fully charged. This flashlight has a built-in low voltage protection (LVP) to prevent damage to the cell from over-discharge, so protected cells are not necessary. The T1 has thermal protection feature. The thermal protection mechanisms are designed to monitor and regulate the temperature of the flashlight during operation. This feature helps prevent overheating, which can be detrimental to the flashlight's performance, battery, and overall safety.

The T1 flashlight with IPx8 rating can withstand being submerged in water beyond 1 meter for a prolonged period, typically specified by the manufacturer. The T1 flashlight possesses a magnetic feature that allows it to securely attach to metal surfaces, providing convenient hands-free operation and versatile mounting options.
