Peak beam intensity, which tells you how far a light throws.

峰值光强，表示手电筒能照多远。

Candela (cd) measures luminous intensity, the brightness of the beam in its most intense direction. It can be measured with a lux meter at one metre from the light.

A high candela figure means a tighter, longer-reaching beam ("throw"), while a lower figure with the same lumens means a wider flood.

坎德拉（cd）是发光强度的单位，表示光束在最强方向上的亮度。可以在距离手电筒一米处用照度计测量。

坎德拉值高意味着光束更集中、照得更远（射程），而在流明相同的情况下坎德拉值较低，则意味着泛光更宽。
