Q:
Why is the lumen rating of the ThermoTorch 3 Astro Red 90 lumens at maximum setting while the ThermoTorch 3 is 200 lumens at maximum setting? Does this mean it is less bright?
Why is the lumen rating of the ThermoTorch 3 Astro Red 90 lumens at maximum setting while the ThermoTorch 3 is 200 lumens at maximum setting? Does this mean it is less bright?
The ThermoTorch 3 maximum setting of 200 lumens is measured for the full visible spectrum – while light - it emits, while the ThermoTorch 3 Astro Red is exclusively emitting red wavelength light. Consequently, the total lumen rating is lower for the ThermoTorch 3 Astro Red but its ability to illuminate the area effectively is not truly diminished but merely restricted to its doing so at a particular wavelength of the visible spectrum.
Q:
Will the ThermoTorch 3 Astro Red work properly if a USB-C to USB adapter is used to interface with the charging cable of a new model smartphone or other USB-C cables?
