Key Advantages of the ThruNite Catapult V3:
-LED - Uses revolutionary cutting-edge CREE XM-L LED for extreme brightness with minimal artifacts in the beam pattern.
-Lens - The Catapult uses an ultra clear glass lens with the addition of double side multi-layer AR coatings to ensure maximum light transmission and efficiency. This results in a 98.5% transmittance of light.
-Reflector - Optimized reflector creates maximum throw. This design is often used in car headlights.
-Driver - We use high quality components in the driver to provide an excellent and easy to use User Interface. Operates at 90% efficiency and since the MCU was eliminated, it operates in higher temperatures.
-Design - The Catapult is built as a robust, high quality tool to suit your needs for many years.
-Stainless steel bezel adds to the overall rugged design of the light.
Note: Do not use RCR123 batteries in this flashlight!
