That candela figure works out to an effective positive identification distance of 32 yards and visual impairment out to 4 yards, both calculated from the published beam data. It uses an integrated battery pack. It weighs 2.8 oz in an aluminum body 3.8 inches long. Measured against the 362 handheld lights in the index, it lands in the dimmest quarter for output (800 lumens), in the least intense quarter for beam intensity (9,000 candela), in the lightest quarter for weight (2.8 oz), and in the least expensive quarter for price ($60).
