System

Emitter	unspecified Cree LED
Color temperature	6500 K
Reflector	SMO
Lens	AR coated glass
Switch	mechanical rear

Cree LEDs are commonly used in a wide range of lighting applications. Their products are trusted by lighting professionals and have gained a strong reputation for quality and performance. The choice of color temperature depends on the specific lighting application and personal preferences. The FL-11R uses a smooth reflector. Unlike the textured surface of an orange peel reflector, a smooth reflector has a polished, mirror-like surface.

The AR coating on the lens maximizes light transmission, making the flashlight more effective in darker environments. The FL-11R has mechanical switch. Mechanical switches often offer tactile feedback, allowing users to feel a distinct click or resistance when the switch is pressed. This feedback helps users confirm that the switch has been activated or deactivated, providing a reassuring sense of control and awareness. The placement of the rear switch at the end of the FL-11R flashlight facilitates a secure forward grip. This grip allows for better control and handling of the flashlight, especially in situations where precision and stability are important.

Performance

Flux	1100 lm
Intensity	18225 cd
Throw	270 m
CD/LM factor	16.57

The 1100 lm output of FL-11R provides greater versatility, as you can adjust the brightness levels to suit different lighting needs. The FL-11R flashlight with 18225 cd has an extended throw distance, allowing you to illuminate objects or areas at greater distances. This can be advantageous for outdoor activities, search and rescue operations, or scenarios where long-range visibility is required. 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. Flashlights with a higher cd/lm ratio typically excel in long-range throw and focused beam applications, while flashlights with a lower cd/lm ratio may provide a wider and more evenly distributed beam for closer-range illumination or general-purpose use.

Software

The protective circuit of battery helps safeguard the battery from various potential risks and ensures safe and reliable operation.

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 IP67 rating represents the level of protection against solid objects, specifically dust and foreign particles. It indicates that the FL-11R flashlight, is fully protected against the entry of dust and other solid objects. The "7" in the IP67 rating indicates that the FL-11R flashlight, can withstand being submerged in water up to a certain depth for a limited time without being damaged.
