I measured 111,975cd (669m throw), 4356K using my Opple Light Master Pro @ 5m distance, using the stock battery. Impressive for a 7.7cm light! More colour measurements, Duv, CRI here: https://darrenyeo.com/speras-m4-review/

Notes/Transcript:

Observations:
• This light really exceeded my expectations. When I first opened the box, I wasn't expecting much. I thought it looked kinda cute actually! After a week of using this light:
○ Easy to carry around and has jaw-dropping throw on turbo mode. Using it on side streets, alleys and outside the city in rural areas. I like that it still produces a decent amount of flood to see where you're walking. It has the nicest beam I've seen on a TIR lens, smoother and warmer than my IF22a.

What I liked:
• Massive throw/brightness for its size. 1300 lumens, 669-meter throw (I measured 111,975cd, 4356K - Opple Light Master, 5m distance). Impressive for a 7.7cm light.
• Pocketable - the head is a bit on the wide side with a 4cm diameter, but surprisingly, it fits nicely in almost any pocket - though you may have trouble with tighter jeans. To get this amount of throw in a flashlight of this size, it either needs a larger reflector… or you're looking at LEP flashlights.
• UI has 5 modes ECO, LOW, MED, HIGH, and TURBO. A decent low mode is important to me, especially with a lower-capacity battery (1100mA). I find that low mode at 60 lumens is more than enough for most situations and lasts nearly 8 hours. Medium is decent too at 2 hours. In turbo, you get just over an hour of runtime. So it shows this light is more than a novelty pocket rocket that fizzles out after half an hour.
• Premium construction - the HAIII anodizing on this light is a step above my so-called 'budget' lights. I know there are different forms of anodizing, and different thicknesses. It just feels smoother and more even on this light, it doesn't have that glossy look, but more of a clean, matt-black finish that seems more durable. I carry this light around in a bag with a few of my other lights and found that a couple of them now have little wear marks on the bezel, but not a scratch with the M4. The body of the flashlight is milled to perfection too. No unevenness or imperfections.
• Lock function + mechanical lock. Important as I find these side switches can turn on in your pocket. The switch sits flush with the body.
• 5-year warranty
• USB C charging with protected 18350 battery included for added safety

Improvements/Considerations:
• Tint is greenish, but because I'm red-green colour blind, it doesn't seem as noticeable to me. It is a lot warmer than the beam of my Sofirn IF22a though.
• Would be better with a pocket clip, so it stays upright in the pocket and doesn't get scratched by my keys.

This little pocket rocket is reminiscent of the Manker MC13 and Thrunite Catapult Mini - they are all smaller TIR-style thrower lights that have candela figures between 111,000 - 129,000. However, the M4 produces 1300 lumens which are approx 50% brighter than its competitors. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
