The most powerful flashlights in the world. Acebeam K75: the longest range flashlight in the world? The most powerful flashlight in the world

The top 10 longest-range flashlights in the world have a new king. This is just a monstrous flashlight and you probably have not seen anything like it. Take a look, it's worth it, even if you're not interested in flashlights. I promise there is something to see here. A lot of flashlights have passed through my hands in recent years, including exclusively long-range ones, but the Acebeam K75 stands apart, it is a real portable anti-aircraft searchlight. Powerful, long-range, bright - a combo set of a bunch of excellent epithets.

Here it is worth being more specific. I am currently (and here I admit that others evaluate differently) I believe seriously long-range flashlights are those that confidently shine for a distance of more than a kilometer. Such serial There are few models, I think about a dozen. Definitely more than those that cover a distance of 700-800 meters, and I have a lot of reviews of such models on ixbt. In fairness, for the exceptional majority of people, the usual by today's standards exhaust for a 400m distance, which the good old Convoy C8 + or Sofirn C8G can handle, is enough for the eyes - these two models are worth every penny spent.

So, I think that all of you have met people who are chasing some extreme characteristics in their purchases. More km / h, more GB / GHz, more engine in the car and so on. There is such an audience in the flashlight environment. And manufacturers spud it in two directions: maximum brightness and maximum range.

Now the leaders in the war for the maximum numbers are Imalent and Acebeam. And imalent, in my opinion, unequivocally merges - in general, all their models are very dull from the standpoint of everyday use. What can not be said about Acebeam, which, in pursuit of colossal readings, manage to maintain constructive logic and real use, creating truly constructively complex things.

By announcing the K75, Acebeam created quite a stir in their respective circles. 2.5 km of declared range and 6500 lumens of brightness. The reaction was unequivocal.

In the end, I decided to give in to the requests of the channel subscribers and bought Acebeam K75 from the official Acebeam dealer in Russia fonaric4you.

Important! the store kindly made a 10% discount on the entire range using the promo code lumeniac

Frankly, the flashlight is not cheap. But, for example, - here's an imalent MS18, and the same Nitecore TM will be even more expensive, while having a definitely worse range. But there is also Polarion and you will be surprised how cheerfully they are taken.

Packaging and appearance

The packaging is exceptionally presentable. This is a hefty box with excellent printing. As a gift, it will definitely fit.

Inside, in foam rubber, there is a flashlight itself, a removable handle, a warranty card and instructions, and optionally 4x18650 batteries can go. The small bag also contains a lanyard, detachable handle attachment and a pair of o-rings.

In general, everything you need is here.

As for appearance, the flashlight is devoid of any elegance. This is a hefty, brutal thing with a huge head and a bunch of cooling fins. Be that as it may, the design here is thought out and in its own way the flashlight looks really nice. It's just a different kind of beauty. The beauty of a machine gun or a guitar. A large black metal contraption, a purely male toy.

The flashlight itself big. In principle, I have seen flashlights and more than him - BLF GT and Imalent MS12, Imalent DX80. Yes, and Acebeam X70 from the diagram above is also a rather big thing.

The author of the English-language review kindly allowed me to use a comparative photo so that you can appreciate what a monstrous scale modern flashlights reach. Once again, the pen diameter is 53mm, the width of the business card, and the height of the K75 is 218mm.

In general, the part itself, in which the battery pack is hidden, is relatively small. Regarding the head, of course. That one is simply huge, but it can’t be otherwise for a light with such penetrating power (I don’t take into account LEP flashlights). Fully curb weight with handle and batteries - 1150g.

The eyelets for the lanyard are very wide, so if you wish, you can easily put a “candle” on the flashlight. if you have a diffuser of the right size, then here is a finished table lamp with an excellent combination of duration and brightness. The idea, of course, is from the category, "what if".

If you unscrew this part of the body from the side of the head (the tail cap also twists), then inside this glass we see the expected solution in the form of a cassette for 4 batteries. Flashlight does not support flatheads accumulators. Ideally, they should be not only with a protruding contact, but also protected. In principle, if you have the money for such a flashlight, then buying 4 of these batteries should not be a problem. But if you wish, you can get by with flatheads with a magnetic spacer. The main thing is that they must be high-current (10A of constant current output, otherwise the turbo simply will not start) and, ideally, from the same batch. In general, it’s good that they made a cassette, I don’t like options with a one-piece battery pack (as in the same TM series or Olight Javelot Pro). Which is more practical and cheaper, carrying around a spare battery pack or a box of 4 spare batteries?

By the way, the battery pack from the X65 works without problems (although you have to be careful with twisting here)

From the side of the head there is a short thick spring surrounded by a pad. Small torxes are filled with glue, a screwdriver can not fit. The contact pad must be wiped, it looks like grease has got on it.

The knurling on the body is large and relatively tenacious.

But I wouldn't rely on her anyway. For a convenient balance, flashlights of this size should be much longer, with 8x18650 power. Now the head will outweigh it very much and after a while your wrist will really hurt.

Acebeam has provided a solution to this problem. See this threaded hole here?

This hole had to be shifted a centimeter towards the tail. In the form as it is, I did not manage to properly fix the lights to any tripod mount - they were warped.

I think that the designers deliberately made the removable handle look like a picatinny rail.

See the little round thing in the middle of the body under the handle? this is the remaining charge indicator.

• Green- charge > 30%
• Red- charge< 30%
• Red blinking- charge< 10%

The relatively small, located on the opposite side, button does not protrude, and because of this, I think that pressing it with gloves can be somewhat inconvenient. The move is shallow, soft, without a click.

Head, as I said at the beginning of the review, huge, just monstrous. The cooling fins are deep and numerous.

I think that if desired, the bezel could be twisted, there is something to cling to. I tried to twist without much effort, it did not work and I decided to stop there.

The glass under the bezel is located deep enough and the chances of accidentally breaking it, in my opinion, are small. Yes, and 4mm thickness also plays into the hands of reliability. Beneath it is a hefty 112mm diameter funnel of a deep smooth reflector with a dedominated Luminus SBT90.2 at the bottom.

For clarity, I will show once again how much more K75 is than the most popular 18650 long-range flashlight Convoy C8 + (comparison of all Convoy models, see under the review in the "about the author" section)

I have not the slightest complaints about either the appearance or the quality, except for the issue of mounting the tripod head. And they, by the way, were not to any Acebeam flashlight with which I dealt.

Control

simple and convenient.

How Acebeam K75 shines

5700K, alas, for this LED is the minimum color temperature. Of course, no PWM flicker.

Despite the large size of the LED, the light distribution here is like that of a typical long-range awl. That's just due to the huge brightness as a bonus, and good side illumination in older modes.

The Turbo, with its 6300 lumens, generates an impressive amount of heat. But this is the only mode that frankly warms up the case, and even after a series of 4 turbo turns on in a row, you can safely hold the flashlight in your hands.

For example, High with its 2500 lumens gives amazing range, but the flashlight heats up at the level of comfortable warmth. In general, a removable handle is needed here not to protect your hand from burns, but only for the convenience of using the flashlight.

Stabilization is complete in all modes. I used Samsung 25R 2600mah. Judging by the difference between my graphs and the declared figures for the duration of work on batteries of a larger capacity, we can consider the manufacturer's promises to be quite real. The voltage on the batteries after turning off is even, 2.9v.

There is no effect of cooling on the turbo, the flashlight starts to dim relatively quickly, while the head only has time to warm up symbolically. The only thing worth noting is that after the first turn on, the turbo does not rise above 90% of the initial one. In general, I was counting on a longer duration of the turbo. On the other hand, and as it is, it is more than enough, which is perfectly visible in the video.

Well, the most interesting thing. Graphs are graphs, but how does this monster lantern shine?

Even with its minimum brightness, in an insignificant ultra low with its 7 lumens the flashlight gives light visible at a distance of 75m! Below I will talk about a brighter power line. Eco is definitely justified in a situation where there is no spare set of batteries and the need to shine further than a kilometer.

Usually I start all my long-range tests at 50 meters, but here even 75 is a small distance in which you can work in the lowest and longest modes such as LOW(150lum). Once again - you will have day light that you can confidently work at distances up to hundreds of meters.

Mid1 380 lum - quite visible at a distance of 175 and you can work well with it at such a distance. I won’t say that the light will be detailed, but you can easily see that a person is walking on the territory. It's all clear in the photos.

Mid2 1250lum - A couple of years ago, before the XHP35 \ XPL-Hi was actively used in long-range vehicles, this was the threshold for maximum brightness for long-range vehicles with a single LED. The house, 400m away, is fully lit, with good detail. You can see absolutely everything. And at a distance of 800 meters, the flashlight works quite confidently. And this, let me remind you - 5 hours in this mode!

high 2500 lum. Simply gorgeous. You get a fully stabilized, no-sag light that works for two hours at a distance of at least 1.3 km, that is, much further than anyone needs for real purposes.

Turbo… I do not think that there is any need for it at a distance of less than half a kilometer. The video shows that at a distance of 400m this mode gives as much light as a regular EDC flashlight could give, I shine it on the house from a distance of a couple of tens of meters.

General impressions

Of course, the price tag and dimensions make this flashlight a very specific thing and I think that outside the scope of the review you will not have a chance to get acquainted with such a prodigy, so take the review as just an entertaining and educational reading.

Yes, of course, based on the price and size, the vast majority of people will have enough of something simpler and cheaper - in the Acebeam line there are also more affordable, but at the same time powerful models in the K-line. Well, if you go to a frankly budget segment, then you should look at or - both of these flashlights cover 100% of everyday needs.

But! I have been asked more than once what is the longest and brightest flashlight. Usually I start to argue that “a flashlight is either bright or long-range” (why is explained in mine), but the K75 is the best fit for both of these characteristics.

Acebeam K75 is a clear demonstration of the exceptional abilities of modern flashlight construction. This flashlight shines at a distance where the naked eye is not capable of anything less than a high-rise building. And at a distance where you can still do without optics, something on the order of half a kilometer, the K75 is able to give out brightness as if you were highlighting a regular EDC flashlight while being nearby. Even at half its maximum brightness, it shines like only the most powerful modern long-range flashlights can. At the same time, for them it will be a short-term turbo, and Acebeam K75 is capable of two hours of full-fledged work without a drop in brightness.

Of course, in urban conditions, such a flashlight is of little use, it simply has nowhere to turn around. But in the open air, especially, in my opinion, due to the relief, in the mountains, this super-lantern will show itself in all its glory.

Stunning functionality is combined with presentable packaging and brutal appearance, which makes the flashlight also a good men's gift. With the maximum probability, the recipient of the gift did not see anything like this at all, and now even those who do not want to see it will be forced to see it. Well, if there is a desire to acquire something like that, and the means allow, then this is the most sort of thing. And personally, in the choice between the brightest and the most long-range flashlight, I will choose the most long-range one.

In general, he will do an excellent job with the desire to show off and help out in reality when there is a need for high beams.

After all these praises, I would like to restore the balance and maintain objectivity. There are moments that I didn't like.

First of them - the threaded hole for the tripod is located too close to the body and not all tripod platforms will be easily attached to it.

Two- in all the Acebeam models I have met before, they honestly indicated the operating time in a turbo with a brightness drop level, for example 2min 3000lum + 150min 1000lum. It's disappointing to see that with the K75 they went down the usual crooked path for many other manufacturers, where the total operating time is indicated, without mentioning the fact of a drop in brightness.

Number three- for such a price it would be logical to add a shoulder strap. Fortunately, it is not difficult to make one yourself.

Well, perhaps that's all. Hope the review was interesting.

p/s Of course, you can't ignore the upcoming big sale, Black Friday 2019 with new promo codes and coupons will give you the opportunity to save a lot on some big purchases. And, in general, even now there is a working coupon for 8/50. So I recommend spending some time to learn how to save money on Black Friday 2019. Read on

A tactical flashlight is one of the best self-defense tools you can carry with you.

Why?

83% of our senses are visual information, and approximately 50% of violent crimes occur at night when our vision is limited. The presence of a bright flashlight allows you to identify a threat, instantly blind the enemy and get extra time to act.

This article is not just a summary of the reviews on Amazon, we bought all the models in question and tested them for everyday wear comfort, drop resistance and water resistance. Plus photos of how they actually shine, which is much more useful than just the power claimed by the manufacturer.

We'll start with what we think tactical flashlight and compare the 5 most popular ones under $100 to see which one is truly the best.

If you can't wait, here are the results of our selection:

What is a tactical flashlight?

Besides the fact that it should be of high quality and well balanced in terms of characteristics, we believe that it should also provide the owner with a strategic advantage in a potentially dangerous situation.

tactical flashlights are usually turned on with an end button, which allows you to do this quickly; they are bright enough to momentarily blind an aggressor, and are designed to withstand harsh external influences.

Our selection criteria

Considering the LED lighting technology, we prefer that tactical flashlights had at least 500 lumens and good range, but were small enough to be easily held with one hand with a gun in the other hand, if needed.

Having established these criteria, we began to look for lanterns trusted brands, with 50+ reviews and a rating of at least 4.5 stars on Amazon. We also consciously chose products from different manufacturers in order to achieve both variety and fairness in pricing.

As for the price, we set a limit of $100 because we wanted to show the best choice in a more affordable market segment. If you do not look back at the price, we recommend the Surefire P3x Fury Tactical ($250).

What is a lumen?

Lumen (lm) - allocated by the source in a given area for a given time. The more lumens, the brighter the light. One lumen is equal to the amount of light received in an area of ​​one square foot (0.09 sqm) at a distance of one foot (0.3 m) from a burning candle.

A 100 W incandescent lamp generates about 1600 lm. A standard car headlight - from 700 to 1200 lm. This information does not really help to imagine what you are buying, so we will accompany the article with a photo with light from each of the samples.

Batteries

They are often forgotten, but a lot depends on the type of batteries - both cost, performance, and operating time ... sometimes the key factor in a purchase decision is which batteries are used in lantern.

In addition to traditional alkaline batteries (AAA, AA, C, D), most modern lanterns to improve energy efficiency use the following:

CR123: 3V high output lithium battery commonly used in high performance electronics. A quality CR123 battery can last up to 10 years and typically costs $1 to $2 each.

18650 (18 mm by 65 mm): 3.7 V, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. By the way, they are used in Tesla Model S sedans. Usually they cost from 3 to 6 dollars apiece. Many flashlights use either one 18650 or two CR123s.

14500 (14mm by 50mm): 3.7V rechargeable lithium ion batteries, the same size as traditional AA batteries. Usually they cost from 2 to 6 dollars apiece.

Evaluation criteria for tactical flashlights

We decided to evaluate the selected lanterns according to three parameters:

1. Light flow
2. Ease of use
3. Comfort to wear

To evaluate usability, we look at how easy it is to turn on and off flashlight, switch between modes, hold it simultaneously with a gun, etc. To assess the convenience of wearing - its various ways, including storage in a holster, in a waist bag, in a pocket, and others.

But enough of the introduction, let's take a look at our first candidate!

1. Nitecore MH25GT: best range tactical flashlight

• Pros: beam range 452 m, mini-USB charging, mode change by turning the case
• Cons: large headband
• Ease of use: 8/10
• Comfort to wear: 5/10
• Luminous flux: 1000 lm

This lantern the longest illumination range we have seen on the market so far, with a maximum range of 452m. The larger head diameter allows the light to be focused into a stronger beam. If I had a ranch or a large plot, I would prefer this particular model as my lantern for night walks.

Plus, it comes with a lot of useful stuff.

Often, when walking in the dark, it is useful to maintain adapted night vision by taking advantage of low light. It also allows you not to draw attention and avoid detection by the enemy. However, the moment you see movement ahead, you need the ability to switch to a stronger light to clearly identify the threat.

This Lantern quickly switches between two user-defined modes by rotating the head and rear of the case, making it easy to use for such maneuvers. I set my MH25GT to 1000lm and 50lm for target acquisition and night vision respectively.

Ray lantern remains clearly focused even at a great distance from the source.

It runs on a standard 18650 lithium-ion battery, or two CR123 batteries. head part lantern slightly larger than the case diameter, so we think the best way to carry it is in a holster.

Mini-USB charging is another useful feature, with it you don’t need to buy an additional battery charger or take it with you when you travel. There is a hole in the case for charging and next to it is a red indicator light.

2. ThruNite TN12 2016 XP-L: Best Overall

• Pros: Affordable price, ease of wearing and using, firefly mode at 0.4 lm
• Cons: Heats up in "turbo" mode
• Ease of use: 8/10
• Comfort to wear: 6/10
• Luminous flux: 1100 lm

Lantern ThruNite TN12 is good enough in all respects. At less than $50, it's compact, lightweight, and durable.

The TN12 runs on a standard 18650 lithium-ion battery or two CR123 batteries. Has several modes:

• Turbo - 1100 lm
• High power - 435 lm
• Medium - 175 lm
• Low - 18 lm
• "Firefly" - 0.4 lm

Holding the switch for a second turns on the strobe mode. I usually used it at high power (435 lm), from it to the Turbo mode it is only one click. Its illumination area is quite wide, and the light is distributed evenly over it.

Firefly mode (0.4 lm) is the perfect lighting for a night hike in the bush while camping. It shines dimly, allows you to save night vision, and also consumes almost no battery power, which allows you to use flashlight without recharging up to 74 days, according to the manufacturer.

After about 3 minutes, the bezel heats up noticeably, after 6 - so much so that it is extremely unpleasant to touch it. I stopped this test at around 8 minutes because I didn't want to lantern something broke from overheating.

In general, due to the price and uniform lighting, this is the best choice.

3. Fenix ​​PD35 TAC: Best Overall (Premium)

• Pros: Comfortable to wear, mini USB charging
• Cons: the minimum luminous flux is 8 lm, it is difficult to find the mode switch by touch
• Ease of use: 7/10
• Comfort to wear: 6/10
• Luminous flux: 1000 lm

The Fenix ​​PD35 TAC is pretty good in every way. It is sold in different configurations, Lantern it costs about $65, but we advise you to take an 18650 lithium-ion battery with it, which can be charged from mini-USB without an additional charger. Useful when traveling, and just if you don’t have a charger at hand. You can also use 2 CR123 batteries for power.

Has several modes:

• Turbo - 1000 lm
• High power - 500 lm
• Medium - 200 lm
• Low - 60 lm
• "Eco" - 8 lm

Holding the switch for a second turns on the strobe mode.

The power button is in a clear place and works properly, it is worth pressing halfway - and everything instantly turns on and off without problems. But the mode switch does not stand out much on the relief of the case, so it is not always possible to find it by touch.

Compared to ThruNite, the TN12 does not get as hot in Turbo mode, and automatically switches from it to high power mode after 5 minutes of use, which personally allowed me to leave Lantern turned on for half an hour without the risk of overheating and breakage.

If you are used to using flashlight in "night" mode, the minimum luminous flux of 8 lm on "Eco" may seem too bright. It gives more light than is needed for a person with well-adapted night vision.

Diffused light from this lantern enough to illuminate the whole room, at the same time, the concentration of the beam in the center is sufficient to illuminate a limited area well, even at a great distance.

The Fenix ​​PD35 TAC meets our criteria for a decent tactical flashlight, but because of its high price with the battery, we've listed it as "best overall" with a "premium" label.

4. Nitecore MT10A: the most compact

• Pros: small size, with a maximum of 920 lumens, there is a red light mode, uses both IMR 14500 and AA batteries
• Cons: not found
• Ease of use: 7/10
• Comfort to wear: 8/10
• Luminous flux: 920 lm

Nitecore MT10A - compact Lantern, suitable for continuous wear, with useful red light mode.

Lantern about the size of an adult's palm, fits perfectly in a pocket. So I wore it - as a pocket flashlight for every day - and at the same time, it shines brightly enough to be used as a direct tactical one.

It is also a great hiking Lantern, its red light allows the user to maintain night vision, and also remain invisible in the dark, since such light is not visible from afar.

Note that 920lm operation requires IMR 14500 batteries, which are the same size as AA but with higher power output. AA batteries will only last for 170 lumens. IMR 14500 usually cost between $4 and $10 depending on quality and manufacturer.

List of modes (when using suitable batteries):

• Turbo - 920 lm
• High power - 500 lm
• Medium - 180 lm
• Low - 70 lm
• Minimum - 1 lm
• Red light (I would rate it at about 0.5 lumens)

It creates a partially focused beam which is useful for searching and general area illumination.

After three minutes in "Turbo" mode, it automatically switches to 500 lm to prevent overheating.

The instructions from the manufacturer say "do not use the IMR 14500 at low power", which is a bit strange, isn't it? In fact, it meant that one should not leave Lantern turned on and let it discharge completely, and of course you can use it in low power modes. Apparently, somewhere in the translations, the instructions were mistaken.

5. Streamlight ProTac 1L-1AA: the simplest and most compact

• Pros: small size, inexpensive, uses both AA and CR123 batteries, all operations are performed with one button
• Cons: not enough modes
• Ease of use: 8/10
• Comfortable to wear: 9/10
• Luminous flux: 350 lm

The Streamlight ProTac 1L-1AA is great for everyday wear, small and discreetly fits in your pocket. And the ProTac line has over 6600 reviews with a rating of 4.5 on Amazon.

One of the biggest advantages of this flashlight is that it can be powered by both AA batteries (or IMR 14500 batteries of the same size) and CR123 batteries. This makes it ideal as flashlight for an alarm kit, since AA batteries are easy to get anywhere.

Has three modes:

• High power - 350 lm
• Stroboscope - 350 lm
• Low Power - 40 lm (with CR123 batteries)

They are switched by the end button. Some users like this simplicity, others may find it inconvenient because of the need to constantly cycle through modes to get to low power if it is used most often.

Compared with flashlights, capable of delivering 1000 lumens each, this one at 350 lumens does not heat up so much. After half an hour of work in this mode, it feels warm, but the temperature does not increase.

And despite the fact that we initially declared a minimum of 500 lm as a criterion for counting Lantern"tactical", we just liked this one so much that we could not help but include it in the list.

Our choice as a small but powerful enough tactical flashlight.

Testing for water resistance and durability

To ensure that these qualities are flashlights correspond to the declared manufacturers, we carried out a series of simple tests with immersion in water and a fall from a small height.

By including lanterns, they were dropped from a height of about one and a half meters onto a concrete floor 5 times:

• 3 - light down (as it is most likely to fall from a hand or pocket in natural conditions)
• 1 - light up
• 1 - sideways

After that, we turned on each one and checked if it still works in all modes. As you can see in the photo, there are a few scratches on the cases, but all the lights shine as expected.

After that, we placed the flashlights in a container of water at room temperature and held it for half an hour, and then checked each one again in all modes.

And again, everyone passed the test. There are more than 5 in the photo, because we were simultaneously testing for another article.

conclusions

Product development is always about compromise. Depending on what you are looking for, we have different offers:

• If needed Lantern with high range Nitecore MH25GT fit best.
• AND ThruNite TN12, And Fenix ​​PD35 TAC are standard tactical flashlights, although TN12 easier to use and cheaper.
• If you want a small and handy pocket Lantern with a good "night" lighting mode, you will Nitecore MT10A.
• BUT Streamlight ProTac 1L-1AA for those who prefer to work with one button.

The editors would like to thank the pewpewtactical blog for this review.

The lantern uses 100W bulbs. It also has a heat-resistant lens from a very large amount of heat. Its body is simple and consists of aluminum. The flashlight has already been tested not only by the manufacturer, but also by the consumer, and the video has also been posted on You Tube.

]

The most powerful flashlight is chosen by those whose profession or lifestyle is associated with extreme conditions. These are employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, volunteers in rescue teams, rescuers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, as well as tourists and speleologists.

Such lighting devices must constantly maintain a bright and stable luminous flux for a long time. Leading positions in this niche are occupied by search or tactical lights. Still quite powerful are underbarrel models, which are mounted under the barrel of a gun, and tourist ones, which have a long operating time.

Characteristics

The special operating conditions of powerful flashlights dictate special requirements, both to the design and to the lighting parameters:

1. High brightness. Basically, the brightness of powerful flashlights starts from 1000 lumens. Approximately as much is required to normally illuminate an open area.
2. Great range. For lighting not only the space around you, but also at long distances. Maybe 500 meters or more.
3. Nutrition. The lantern must have several batteries and a powerful battery so that its owner does not find himself in the middle of a night forest without light.
4. Several modes of use. The powerful mode is used in open areas, the weaker mode is used in confined spaces, and the minimum mode is used to save charge and emergency lighting.
5. Shockproof and waterproof case. For use in extreme conditions, search lights are made of heavy-duty materials and are fully waterproofed.
6. Heat sink. Good heat dissipation is a prerequisite for safe use, because powerful diodes heat up the case very quickly.
7. Lamps. Today, the LED flashlight and models with a xenon lamp are popular. This is due to the fact that they are more durable, heat up less and have a greater light output. But halogen incandescent lamps are a thing of the past.

Weight, ergonomic design and dimensions also play a role in choosing a powerful flashlight, but they are not always in the first place, giving way to other, more important characteristics.

Spotlights

A powerful flashlight-spotlight can serve as a replacement for a long-range flashlight and, in some respects, be one. Its distinguishing feature is flood light, which has a large illumination radius (from 300 to 500 meters). That is why it is great for search operations.

Externally, the flashlights are a rather large structure, which includes several powerful diodes and an external battery. You can charge them from a regular outlet, and most models provide charging from the cigarette lighter in the car.

The operating time of spotlights varies within an hour, if you use it at full power. The brightness of this lighting fixture is from 5000 to 8000 lumens, depending on the model. For comparison, there are only 1500 in a 100-watt light bulb.

For all their merits, such powerful portable lights are inconvenient because they weigh quite a lot and have a not very ergonomic design. And this can create problems during prolonged use, when you need to walk.

hand lanterns

The hand lamp has a familiar shape and is more convenient to use than a searchlight. Although it is unlikely that it can be carried in a pocket. High power requires appropriate batteries. The brightness of such lighting devices starts from 1000 lumens and is limited only by technical capabilities.

The Torch is the most powerful flashlight in the world today. The brightness of such a flashlight is 4100 lumens, and its light can illuminate a large area. But, as always, there is a fly in the ointment in a barrel of honey: such power requires appropriate power, the batteries will be discharged in fifteen minutes.
