FAQs on Lighting

Torches come in various types, including handheld flashlights, headlamps, and tactical torches. When selecting one for outdoor activities, consider the following factors:
• Brightness (Lumens): Higher lumens provide brighter light. A torch with 100-300 lumens is typically sufficient for general outdoor use.
• Beam Distance and Angle: A narrow beam offers a longer distance, suitable for pathfinding, while a wide beam covers a broader area, ideal for campsites.
• Power Source: Decide between rechargeable batteries, which are cost-effective and eco-friendly, and disposable batteries, which are convenient for extended trips without charging facilities.
• Durability and Weather Resistance: Ensure the torch is robust and has a suitable IP rating for water and dust resistance.
• Size and Weight: Choose a torch that balances portability with performance based on your activity needs.
