How To Choose The Right Flashlight?

With the increasing improvement of people's living standards and the continuous progress of society, the lighting methods are becoming more and more diversified. As a mobile lighting tool, flashlights are widely used and play an important role in various occasions such as daily, flood control, work, patrol and outdoor.
How to choose the right flashlight for different occasions? Let's take a look.
Hiking does not need too high brightness. Because it takes a long time, you can try to choose a flashlight that is convenient to carry, and at the same time, you should have a long endurance. In general, the flashlight needs to take into account the moderate spotlight and floodlight. However, the leader still needs a flashlight with higher brightness and a certain range, which is more clear and convenient when exploring the terrain.
The flashlight floodlight used for camping must be better, and the demand for brightness is low. It is better to have multi-color light to drive away wild animals or lure small fish caught at night, and the endurance should be long, and the volume should not be too large. Such flashlights have great advantages in convenience and cost.
Night riding flashlight should be able to illuminate continuously for 4 hours. The floodlight is very important for night riding, and the spotlight should not be too concentrated. Also pay attention to whether it is convenient for operation and clamping.
Diving flashlights emphasize absolute waterproof and stability, and the requirements for brightness are also high, and the lighting time is enough (related to the type of diving). The requirements for volume and weight are not strict. Handheld lamps are relatively large and easy to hold, and the use flexibility is better. The switch shall be able to resist water pressure (usually the button switch cannot resist water pressure, and the diving flashlight is mostly rotary or toggle switch). In addition, it is better to have a hand rope with locking function to prevent accidental release.
Patrol and on-duty flashlight: first, it should be operated directly without thinking, that is, intuitive operation, especially the one-button flash is a necessary configuration; second, it should have a long battery life as far as possible, and it is convenient to replenish power, which can replace batteries or support mobile power charging; Third, it is better to have a broken window head, and it is convenient and fast to smash the car glass; Fourth, the flashlight clip supports the belt for mounting, so that it can be installed on the waist fittings.
Portable flashlight (EDC), short for Every Day Carry, means portable flashlight, generally small and light mini flashlight, which is convenient for portable use at any time. When selecting the EDC flashlight, it is not required to have both high brightness and long endurance. The main considerations are as follows: 1. It is small and portable, 2. The battery is easy to obtain, and 3. It has the function of low brightness for a long time.
Explosion-proof flashlights are mainly used in construction sites, mines, fire fighting and other occasions. Due to the danger of the use environment, flashlights with strong stability and explosion-proof functions should be selected. At the same time, high brightness, long endurance, waterproof and fall-resistant, flashlight materials are also important selection criteria.
Military police flashlights, also known as tactical flashlights, are flashlights used to complete tactical tasks, and their performance is far higher than ordinary flashlights. There is no essential difference between the tactical flashlight and the ordinary flashlight in principle and structure, but the tactical flashlight needs to adapt to the use requirements under various harsh environmental conditions, so its performance, such as high and low temperature performance, sealing performance, anti-corrosion performance, durability, illumination and color temperature, is much higher than the ordinary flashlight.
Search and rescue flashlights are mainly used to carry out large-scale search tasks. The demand for brightness is almost as bright as possible, and the range is also important. Search and rescue often means facing severe climatic and geographical environment, which requires high performance of flashlight such as anti-drop and anti-rain. In order to improve the efficiency of search and rescue, flashlights that are easy to carry, easy to operate, convenient to use, long endurance and can use lithium batteries should also be selected.
Household flashlights are mainly used in daily life, and should have long service life, reliable and durable, low maintenance costs and other characteristics. It is better to combine the advantages of high cost performance, comfortable operation, moderate brightness, convenient charging or battery replacement.
