Led flashlight lumens are a measure of light. This measure of light tells us how bright a particular flashlight
is. Obviously the bigger the number the brighter the torch light
will be. With so many different torches on the market there are
many different levels of power output. High power flashlights will
have up to and over 600 and 700 lumens of light power. The Fenix
tk40 for example has an output of 630 lumens.
This 630 lumens with the combination of their designed lens reflector
allows the light to go as far as 300meters. The Led Lenser X21 has
an amazing 1070 lumens of light, and as quoted on their website www.ledlenserusa.com “The X21 is quite simply the brightest hand-held LED light ever
produced”. Running off of four D cell batteries, it has a
battery life of 600 hours and is effective out to 1540feet. Compared to the tk40 this is 469 meters. It uses 7 led’s and also has an adjustable focusable beam.
Now to knock it up a notch let me introduce you to the Surefire
HellFighter. I still can’t imagine how bright this thing must be
with 3000 lumens output it has. Specifically designed for military
use on heavy guns such as .50cal sniper rifles, machine guns and to be used mounted on any vehicle, boat or
ship. This allows it to also be used as a searchlight or
spotlight. It can handle the rigours of weapon recoil and combat
fighting, is water resistant and made from a very strong aerospace grade alumium. Havng a Mil-Spec Type III anodized finish that makes it very resistant to
abrasion and abuse.
Because it uses a LED globe there is no filament that can break like in
normal lights. This is another great feature of any led flashlight
as the life expectancy of the bulb itself is in the tens of thousands of hours.
The amount of light and lumens that can be generated from a led
flashlight can be anything from 2 lumens to the 600-700 mark right up to the 3000 mark as mentioned
before. But generally speaking most end users will be in the market
for a unit that is in the 700 and under bracket. I did notice that
the HellFighter from Surefire has restrictions on where it can be sold and imported. Imagine having one though....
I personally have the Fenix tk40 and it is a brilliant
light. It’s not too big and it has four levels of power output
which are 13, 93, 277 and 630 lumens. This ability to select one
of four settings really does make these torches very handy. Not
always do you need the led flashlight lumens on high power. This
is especially true if you wake up in the middle of the night and your eyes have been adjusted to the night
darkness. Even 10 lumens is more than enough light to see what
is going on in total darkness.
Finally, it is always a good idea to shop around and compare prices on
any deals. Prices can vary greatly and there are many different
brands and types of flashlights on the market today. So take a
little time and check out all the different brands and models first. Just remember that the more led flashlight lumens you have, the brighter you
torch will be (usually). Take a look at this bad boy here LED flashlight lumens, the led lenser has 1070 lumens of power
