We all heard of or used a flashlight. It is a must-have in our home
first-aid kit. But what is a tactical flashlight? Designed for military
and law enforcement use, the
best tactical flashlight is
sturdier, more reliable and functional Ourthan ordinary flashlights.
Therefore it is especially welcome by explorers, hikers and hunters who
are often exposed to extreme environments. We also recommend it as a
double security option in your first-aid kit.
Buying Guide – How to Choose
Lumens
Most
ordinary flashlights have under 500 lumens, but the tactical flashlight
delivers much higher than that, often 800-1000 lumens. The actual
covering area and brightness is also subject to the LED type, lens
material and light spill.
Weight and Size
As a tactical
flashlight, we expect it as compact, better pocket-size, and
ultra-light. This limits the size up to around 5in in length and 0.6lbs
in weight. So most tactical flashlights are built by airspace aluminum
for light weight and duration in even extreme environment.
Battery and Duration
The
AAA batteries in traditional flashlights are still prevailing in
tactical flashlights. However we do see more and more tactical lights
are also compatible with 18650 rechargeable lithium cells, which is
certainly more eco-friendly and cost-efficient. Some tactical
flashlights also opt to use Chromium batteries (e.g. CR123), to reduce
weight and size.
Setting and Function
The most popular
settings on market is 5 light modes, to save battery in normal use and
strobe/spotlight mode to blind your enemies or preys. Some low-end ones
offer 3 modes, which is also practical in daily life. The Zoom function
is found pretty useful to adjust focus for close and long range.
