Flashlights selected by lumens: for each purpose the right amount of light

The amount of light modes is, however, something you need to take into account. Do you want to read a book at night without waking your partner? If so the light mode of 0.5 or 1 lumen is very practical. As soon as you want to light up something up close 1000 lumens will definitely blind you. In that case 100 or 200 lumens will be better. Many people use a flashlight while walking their dog. In that case 500 lumens will be more than enough. Are you looking for a flashlight for hunting purposes? Go with one that has more lumen. For outdoor sports activities a head torch may be a great solution. Enough light and always have your hands free.

Lumen

Lumen is a feature that is often used in the specifications of flashlights. The amount of lumen represents the total amount of light that comes from a light. However, the amount of lumen does not say anything about the beam distance of the light. Two flashlights with the same amount of lumen do not have to as bright or shine as far. Fortunately most manufacturers also give an indication of the beam distance in addition to listing the mount of lumens, and we also measure a lot ourselves.
