About this deal
The voltage of the battery pack constructed from 3 batteries is not equal to the voltage of a single lithium battery. The last used setting will be remembered next time the light is turned on except for in spotlight mode, where the torch will always turn on in the low setting. The spotlight LED (the SFT70) is ever-so-slightly out of center on my sample, so it’s possible that is contributing a small amount. Peak beam intensity and beam distance measurements About Peak beam intensity: Understanding ANSI FL1 Standards About peak beam intensity The calculated value of distance in meters at which the flashlight produces a light intensity of 0.
Note: *The outputs may decrease due to overheat protection and therefore run-times may be at reduced outputs. Or, to put it differently: The RC40-2016 'throws' 6000 lumens over the entire distance, while the LR40R only has 1000 lumens.
However, thanks to more powerful light sources and batteries new techniques are developed every day. The 18 XP-G3 S4 LED lights in the edge of the head of the light create a beam I had never seen before. The included battery pack is charged inside the torch via the USB Type-C charging port, which is located on the neck of the torch. Unfortunately, there is no USB-C output (which is the one feature I was surprised wasn’t implemented here. Maximum Lumens: 12000 Runtime Max Lumens - mins: 45 Bulb: 1 x Cree XP-L HI and 18 x Cree XP-G3 LEDs Red: No Blue: No Green: No Amber: No UV: No Strobe: Yes SOS: Yes Beacon: No Beam Distance (mtr) 773 Battery Type: 18650 Batteries: 4 x 18650 (included) Rechargeable: Yes Integrated Power Bank: Yes Body Material: Aircraft Grade Anodised Aluminium IP Rating: IP68 Waterproof to 2m Overall Length (cm) 15.
To demonstrate the enormous power of the light I tested the LR40R at a couple of spacious locations.New, intuitive, combined rotary and push button switching design, uprated maximum output power in both light and power bank functions, and a new built-in battery pack with 3 x 5000mAh cells, taking onboard power to the max.
