Which flashlight to choose?

Choosing your flashlight can become a real headache as there are so many different ones. Fortunately, on vetsecurite.com, we explain which flashlight to choose according to your needs, your tastes and your budget. Several criteria must be taken into account to choose the perfect flashlight, the one that will accompany you in all your security personnel missions, in daily life or for your leisure activities. 

The size

The size of your flashlight is very important. Indeed, whether you are in the police, military or security personnel, your needs will not be the same. Indeed, for very precise inspection work, it will be better to opt for a pen light, very small and that fits everywhere. On the opposite end, to illuminate very far or to obtain a powerful beam, a large flashlight will surely be more suitable.

The light output

The luminous flux is measured in "lumens". This data represents the total amount of light emitted by the LED of your lamp. The higher the lumen value of the flashlight, the more powerful it will be. To do a round in a building, you don't need a 100000 lumen flashlight; a tactical lamp between 1000 and 1500 lumens should be sufficient.

The lighting distance

Just like the light output, the lighting distance of a flashlight will be different depending on whether your missions require you to illuminate a narrow corridor, a tent or a large field... For the most powerful projectors, you can obtain a range between 1000 m and up to 2 km! If you do not need a long-range flashlight, a flashlight illuminating between 100 and 500 meters may be largely sufficient.

The autonomy

The autonomy of a flashlight is closely linked to its light output. The more powerful the flashlight, the faster it will discharge. If you want to improve the autonomy of your tactical lamp, you can purchase spare batteries or an additional rechargeable battery in the lamp accessories category of our online store.

The functionalities

Depending on your needs, you may be led to opt for a tactical lamp, a headlamp, a flashlight or projector. Some brands also offer hands-free lamps that are used with a clip. Flashlights offering multiple lighting modes allow you to obtain the light intensity that best suits the situation. To temporarily blind an assailant, a strobe function can be useful. A multifunction flashlight, on the other hand, allows you to face different situations during the same day.
The material and resistance: A flashlight made of anodized aluminum prevents corrosion and thus increases its lifespan. Most tactical lamps are water resistant, dust, shock and drop resistant. Check the standards of the lamp before buying it!

The type of power supply

A flashlight can be powered by standard batteries or by a battery. Choosing a rechargeable flashlight or not will depend on both your needs and your preferences. Some flashlights combine the best of both worlds by allowing the use of either system. Less well known is the flashlight with a powerful dynamo. In this case, a crank allows the user to generate the necessary energy themselves.
