一、产品相关FAQ

What do lumens mean?

Lumens measure the total amount of light a flashlight produces. Generally, the higher the lumen output, the brighter the light. However, beam pattern, throw distance, and runtime are also important factors when choosing a flashlight.

What is the difference between Lumens and Candela?

Lumens measure the total amount of light emitted by the flashlight in all directions. Think of it as the raw brightness or volume of light. Candela measures the peak intensity of the beam at its center. High candela means the light is tightly focused to travel further distances (throw), even if the total lumen count is lower.

How do I choose the right flashlight?

The best flashlight depends on how you plan to use it. For everyday carry (EDC), a compact and lightweight model is ideal. For outdoor adventures, consider a flashlight with higher brightness, longer runtime, and enhanced durability. Cyclists should look for bike lights designed to improve visibility and safety on the road.

What is the difference between a "Flood" and a "Throw" beam?

Floodlights cast a wide, evenly dispersed wall of light, making them ideal for close-up work, walking the dog, or illuminating a campsite. Throwers (or spotlights) use deep reflectors or specialized optics to focus the light into a tight, intense beam designed to reach hundreds of meters away.

Why did the brightness suddenly drop after a few minutes?

Most modern flashlights feature built-in thermal regulation. To prevent the LED from overheating and to protect the user's hands, the flashlight will automatically "step down" to a lower lumen output once it reaches a certain temperature threshold.

What flashlight brightness is best for everyday use?

For most everyday tasks, 100–500 lumens is sufficient. Higher outputs are useful for outdoor activities, emergencies, or situations requiring long-distance visibility.

Why carry a flashlight if my phone already has one?

Your phone can help you find a dropped key under the couch. A dedicated flashlight is designed for everything beyond that—from power outages and late-night walks to outdoor adventures and emergency situations. It's brighter, tougher, lasts longer, and doesn't drain the battery you depend on to stay connected.

How do I maintain the flashlight for long-term use?

Keep the charging port clean, avoid long-term storage at 0% or 100% battery, and recharge every few months to protect the battery.

How long does it take to fully charge a flashlight?

Charging time varies by battery capacity and charging method, but most rechargeable flashlights can be fully charged within a few hours.

Will the battery lose capacity over time?

Like all rechargeable batteries, capacity gradually decreases with age and repeated charge cycles.

Why does the flashlight get warm during use?

High-output LEDs generate heat during operation. This is normal and helps indicate that the flashlight is operating efficiently.

Can extreme temperatures affect flashlight performance?

Very high or low temperatures may temporarily affect battery performance and runtime.

What are strobe and SOS modes used for?

SOS mode: Flashes the internationally recognized Morse code signal (3 short, 3 long, 3 short flashes) to call for help when you are lost.
Strobe mode: Emits a rapidly flashing, disorienting burst of bright light used to deter attackers, ward off wild animals, or signal your location.
