High luminous flux and beam length. This, too, is the M5 Gen3 handheld flashlight from the American company PowerTac, which is one of the most compact flashlights equipped with an 18650 rechargeable battery. The flashlight can be proud of its high-quality design and high durability.
PowerTac presents this flashlight as an EDC model, i.e. a model for everyday carry. Versatile possibilities of use are ensured by its compact design in combination with high performance. The PowerTac M5 Gen3 easily fits in the palm of your hand. You can keep it in your car, bag or backpack just in case. In addition to being quite small, it is also lightweight, so you won't even feel it in your luggage.
In addition to civilian users, the M5 Gen3 flashlight will also be used by professionals from the armed forces or security agencies. The maximum luminous flux is 2,030 lumens and the beam length is 330 meters, while at full power and one charge the flashlight can shine for almost 3 hours. And when you just need more intimate lighting, the firefly mode will come in handy, saving battery and still allowing you to see the road.
This LED flashlight is lightweight and reliable at the same time. You can use it in a variety of situations, whether it's tactical personal defense, hunting, camping, mountain climbing, and any other outdoor activity you can imagine. An integrated pocket clip makes it easy to carry, as well as a diamond texture that prevents the flashlight from slipping out of your hand in an unguarded moment.
This flashlight from PowerTac is made of quality and durable aircraft grade aluminium and is precision machined. In addition, the surface of the lamp is treated with hard anodizing type III – this treatment further protects against scratches and other mechanical damage. And sealing rings prevent water from entering the lamp body. The flashlight is waterproof at the IPX8 level (submersion up to 2 meters deep).
The PowerTac M5 Gen3 flashlight offers different brightness adjustment modes. As we said, in the brightest mode, the luminous flux reaches 2030 lumens, as well as in the strobe mode, which you can use to confuse and scare off a potential attacker. Then there's the aforementioned firefly mode and three other modes in between that offer a compromise between performance and battery life. Switch between modes using a single button on the back of the flashlight and a side button for quick switching.
As for the power supply, you can use the above-mentioned 18650 rechargeable battery with a capacity of 2650 mAh, or a pair of disposable CR123A batteries. In the case of the first of these solutions, you do not need to remove the battery from the lamp body for charging. Just attach the magnetic USB cable, plug it into the socket and the battery will start charging automatically. The flashlight also has digital technology for checking circuits, which prevents, for example, overcharging and short circuits.
