In addition, there is an indicator LED in the control button, thanks to which you will always know when to recharge the battery. The end of the torch is magnetic, so it can be easily attached to anything iron. The HM51R has nine different lighting modes that allow you to choose between high performance and long endurance (up to 120 hours).
