LED flashlights have become really popular and everyone has started using them. But, when it comes to choosing one it can be a difficult task. There are many flashlights, for many different uses and I’m here to help you choose the right one for your needs.
Before you purchase a flashlight, you need to determine what you will use it for and how much brightness you might need. If you’re getting a flashlight to use around the household, a 100 to 300 lumens flashlight will do the job. If you’re going to use it for recreational activities and around the house, you can get a lightweight torch from around 300 to 1,000 lumens, which will offer great lighting, powerful enough for outdoor activities. However, if you require a heavy duty torch, a super LED flashlight is the right thing for you. These torches provide more than 1,000 lumens of brightness and are extremely durable. They are usually used for hunting or search and rescue, due to the long-range visions they provide.
Something else you need to consider is the weight and whether you want your super LED flashlight to be waterproof. Top-of-the-line torches are made from aircraft grade aluminium and are a lot lighter, however, some models are still made from hard plastics and stainless steel which makes them a lot heavier. You also need to consider whether you want and eed to own a waterproof model. Some models are so well made that they can be used at great water depths. The size of a super LED flashlight also varies, depending on the material and the purpose. Just bare in mind that size doesn’t impact battery life, nor the efficiency, because these days, very small batteries can be used to provide an incredible level of illumination. It all comes down to your personal choice and your needs. You might want something portable, so you can carry it everywhere and use it anytime you need it, or you might want a bigger, heavier torch to use for heavy duty jobs, such as construction.
Some people go for LED flashlights because of how cost-effective and good for the environment they are. They are a little bit more expensive than conventional flashlights, however, you’ll save a lot more money on batteries later on. Using fewer batteries and wasting less energy means that your carbon footprint on the world reduces, which is a great thing if you are a supporter of all green.
