With a new high power flashlight, NexTorch bring their well known rotary switch UI, popular with many users thanks to it’s intuitive operation, to a powerful model the TA31.
It has 5 power levels ranging from 20 lumens for closer up use, up to the headline 10,000 lumens momentary, for a strong beam which has both floodlight and range, it can reach 380 metres. Built in proximity sensor drops the power level when items are close (under 1 metre) and lowers the output for safety.
Built in battery has a long endurance thanks to 2 x 4800mAh high drain cells able to handle the power output. USB C charging is integrated in the body, unscrew the head to reveal the port which is now protected from water and dust. It supports fast charging, and can charge from flat to full in 2.5 hours. Run time up to an impressive 170 hours (20 lumens mode).
Body is made from strong aluminum alloy, with a clip on the side for a pocket/belt/bag carry, stainless steel bezel with nano ceramic hard points for glass breaking in an emergency. Hardened glass with anti reflective coatings, it is 2 metres impact/drop tested, and IPX8 water/dust resistant to 2 metres submersion.
Despite the high power, the TA31 is quite small, at 156mm x 53mm x 49mm, with a weigh of 425g (with the built in battery pack).
