FAQ:
- Do more lumens mean brighter?
The answer to this is, yes. The higher the lumens, the brighter the light, and vice versa. Lumens measure how much light is emitted from the bulb. With the number of lumens in mind, this helps you determine your purchasing decision towards buying a torchlight that will guarantee you maximum brightness.
Still, despite that more lumens mean more visible light, this can also cause more usage of power which in other words, shortens the lifespan of its batteries.
- How Do I Choose A Torchlight?
Before landing your hands on a torchlight, it’s best to consider these important aspects first:
- A torchlight's brightness is measured in lumens. The higher the lumens, the brighter the light emanating from the torchlight. Therefore, depending on what you need it for, choose the torchlight with its respective lumens for your varying needs.
- It’ll be great to choose torchlights that come with multiple lighting modes so you can choose the setting that would fit your needs. These days, most torchlights come with varying lighting modes so you’re definitely covered in that area.
- You’d want to ensure that the particular torchlight runs for a long time while it’s in use. Its run time depends on its brightness and battery capacity. More compact ones may run less than 2 hours while the bigger-sized ones can last for several hours.
- Some torchlights are made of either plastic or aluminium. While the ones made of plastic material have better chemical resistance, its aluminium material on the other hand dissipates the bulb’s heat better, extending its lifespan.
- Most torchlights too come with IP ratings that are tested for water and dust resistance. Choose the one that can be resistant to water during harsh weather conditions
- Another thing to take note of is the accompanying torchlight accessories. Some of them come with clips, magnetic strips, or freestanding bases so it gives you a hands-free option as well.
Whatever your needs are, choose a long-lasting torchlight that will satisfy your needs so it serves its purpose well in the long run.
