Delivering up to 1,000 lumen (10W) in boost mode, it gives off a super wide beam of consistently bright light. If more battery life is
required, simply switch to a 500 lumen (5W) Eco mode, there is also a battery life indicator that shows exactly how long before a recharge is necessary. It comes with a magnetic mounting accessory and is proven to survive a drop from height, or an unexpected drop into water.
