But of course, to get that much out of the battery, you are looking at tuning it down to the lowest of the five available brightness. Realistically speaking, you are looking at an hour and a half on max power, or around four and a half hours on second highest brightness. And it also has three special modes, namely, strobe, SOS and beacon. Behind the R40’s anti-reflective coated toughened ultra-clear mineral lens is a CREE XP-L HI V3 LED bolstered by precision digital optic technology reflector to enable the extended throw distance without losing the light concentration.
