Did you know why LED flashlight is better than regular flashlights: LED vs Regular Flashlights

Falsh lights is eassintal emerigancy tool for every home, camping trip and hunting game. It’s good to have a flashlight around. But, you’ll be out of luck if your regular, incandescent-bulb flashlight has gone dead and it also take more power due to which they have low run time. That’s why always buy an LED-powered flashlight, so you can get a longer battery life as well as a greater selection of sizes and features.

Longer Life

Regular flashlights feature a single incandescent bulb, while LED flashlights are powered by smaller LED bulbs and are much more energy-efficient. Because LEDs use up less energy than a regular bulb, they can allow for a much longer period of use, and in some cases, last up to ten times longer than a regular flashlight. If you keep an emergency flashlight, you’ll have more peace of mind about whether your flashlight will turn on, and if you use flashlights regularly, you’ll be saving money on batteries.

Smaller Sizes

LED flashlights can be a powerful source of light and still come in small sizes. While regular flashlights can be bulky and unwieldy, LED flashlights can be seriously compact, which allows you to keep them in more convenient areas. Some varieties can easily fit into an emergency kit or even on a key-chain. If you’re looking for better portability in a flashlight, LED is the way to go.

More Options

A basic flashlight can do the job of providing light, but LED flashlights can do that and a lot more. Some LED flashlights include a strobe feature, which automatically blinks the light on and off. In the case of an after-dark roadside breakdown. Other LED flashlights even allow for different light colors, or come in different shapes than the traditional, cylindrical flashlight.

While a regular flashlight will surely get a small in-the-dark job done, an LED flashlight can provide you with a longer time of support as well as many other features that could be crucial during your routine or in an emergency. They can save you time and money in future situations you expect and save you stress during situations you don’t.

My Personal Review of the Top 10 Best LED Flashlights

There are thousands of great, average, and poor quality LED flashlights on the market today. Since we are all busy people, I wanted to save you type when picking the perfect flashlight for you. Below you will find 10 summaries LED flashlights that I personally recommend with links to a full in-depth review of each handheld flashlight.

Supernova Guardian Ultra Bright Tactical LED Flashlight

The Supernova Guardian 1300TL Professional Series Ultra Bright Tactical LED Flashlight is designed with the most current LED lighting technology. This flashlight ranks as being the brightest LED flashlight. It has Brightstar Memory technology and five modes of operation which include S.O.S., strobe, low, medium, and full.

The LED flashlight’s strobe mode has a self-defense feature that flashes off and on to disorient those who wish to do harm. The Supernova Guardian Flashlight runs on 3 AAA alkaline batteries or rechargeable lithium batteries, which are both included in the deluxe set. The flashlight is designed with a booster circuit that assists in extending the life of the batteries.

Pros

• The batteries were easy to replace because there was no need to remove the entire light. I just had to unscrew the end of the flashlight.
• The flashlight is very lightweight, which means my hand was not tired after holding it in one hand for a long period of time.
• It is very bright. There was no need to use several flashlights in the dark areas I needed to work in.
• It comes with a removable belt clip, which means I had access to it at all times. There was no need to search for the flashlight when I was in the middle of a project.
• It is VERY well priced compared to other LED torches.

Cons

• The operation switch seems a little soft, which means it may wear out quickly.
• The lens is not completely clear, so projects with small parts were harder to see.

Maglite Mag-Tac LED 2-Cell CR123 Flashlight

For over thirty years, Mag Instrument, Inc. has been making flashlights for both law enforcement and the general public. I’ve owned a few MagLites myself, and generally the only reason they fail is due to some catastrophic event—being run over by a large truck, for instance.

This LED MagLite is just short of 5-1/2 inches long, and at its widest point measures about an inch. It comes in four different colors: the ever-popular black, coyote tan, foliage green and urban gray. It also has what the company calls an “aggressive knurl pattern” on the barrel, which means it has a knobby pattern making it easier to hold on to. It also comes with a pocket clip and two CR123 batteries.

It has three light modes: momentary (in which the light stays on only while the switch button is being pressed); strobe for a high-energy 12 Hz flash that can quickly blind and confuse an opponent; and full power for a 320-lumen beam that can light up a target more than 200 yards away. This LED MagLite also has a “crowned bezel” head, which works nicely if you need just a bit of light in a room, since you just flip it over and stand it on its head. It lets some light out—but not much.
