WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN PURCHASING A TORCH?

Light Output

Light output is measured in lumens which is key to evaluating the brightness of a light source. Unlike watts, which measure energy consumption, lumens quantify the total amount of visible light emitted. This makes lumens a crucial metric for selecting appropriate lighting solutions for various environments. A higher lumen rating indicates a brighter light, essential for tasks requiring good visibility. Conversely, lower lumens can create a softer, more ambient lighting. While this is a good indication of how effective the torch will be, bear in mind that lumens just measure the brightness of the beam - not the beam distance. Many torches will show both the lumens and the beam distance, so it's a good idea to take note of both.

Battery type and runtime

Run time and battery type can differ greatly between brands and models. While a longer run time is generally more desirable, the choice of battery type can depend on individual needs. For instance, rechargeable batteries offer convenience, but you should consider if a single charge will last through each use and whether you can recharge them when necessary. In scenarios like multi-day hikes, where more than one charge might be needed, a torch with single-use batteries might be a better option.

Size and weight

The ideal size and weight of a torch depend on its intended use. For an emergency torch during blackouts, a larger, highly visible option can be advantageous. However, if you need a torch for carrying in a backpack, it’s best to choose a small and lightweight model that still meets your requirements for run time and light output.
