When your afraid of the dark- a flashlight can be your best friend. The beams, lumens and watts will help light up your surroundings. Most of us don't need a flashlight everyday, but when you need one, you want a quality solution.
A flashlight will shed light down a path, illuminate the wall for shadow puppets, provide you piece of mind when the power goes out and make work easier by providing adequate light; hands free! We offer many quality brands of flashlights including Cree , Bayco and Nightstick
When comparing options consider these tips.
Lumen
A Lumen is a unit of standard measurement used to describe how much light is contained in a certain area. One lumen is equal to the amount of light a candle lets fall on 1 square foot of area, 1 foot away. Lumen measures the brightness of a bulb.
What is Beam Spread?
Beam Spread or Beam Angle is the cone of light emitted from the flashlight.
Watts
The number of watts represents the power consumed by a bulb.
LED Brightness and Beam Angle
The total brightness of a LED bulb or flashlight is best to be measured in lumens.
The common range is 10 lumens, which is minimum.
30 lumens works for most household needs
Tactical work for police & military has 90- 1200 lumens, which light up objects at a great distance.
Flashlights make a nice gift for new homeowners!
