ASMC explains what matters when choosing the right flashlight.

What should be considered when using flashlights?

Before using the flashlight, you should check whether enough of the correct batteries have been inserted and whether any battery has already leaked or is showing the first signs of this (battery acid corrosion on one of the poles). The flashlight is usually activated via a button, less often via a twist mechanism. Since there are generally no retention straps, the flashlight must either be clipped to the waistband or stowed in a backpack.

Flashlights are usually very robustly built and are almost impossible to damage, except perhaps the protective lens. For this reason, no special care is required when handling a flashlight. However, due to the sometimes slightly higher weight, you should exercise some caution to avoid possible injuries when passing it to other people or swinging it around during use.

Which is the right flashlight?

First, the intended use of the flashlight must be defined. Flashlights can be purchased in a wide variety of sizes, colors and shapes. The best-known type of somewhat more professional flashlight is probably the Mag-Lite. It impresses with long burn time and robust construction. It is the classic among flashlights and should especially be carried when extremely bright and wide illumination is required.

Besides the Mag-Lite, mini lights or photon pumps are particularly worth considering. These are in no way inferior to their big sister. Mini lights are especially convincing due to their handiness: thanks to their small size, they can easily be carried in your pocket. The variety of colors allows you to adapt the look to your personal taste. With an angle flashlight, dark corners can be illuminated. It is ideal for tactical maneuvers.

Whether you should choose a larger or smaller light depends on the area of use and your personal preferences. Smaller lights are particularly suitable for missions where you have to cover longer distances on foot. Larger lights are suitable for permanent placement at a specific location or when extreme illumination is required.

Expert tip:

Signalling with a reflector and the sun – completely without electricity

If you remove the reflector mirror from a flashlight, you can use it in sunlight to send signals – even over longer distances – to communicate or draw attention to yourself in emergency situations.

Questions: Flashlights

Lumen specifications?

The higher the number of lumens, the brighter the light. But lumens are not the only criterion for a bright flashlight; the beam pattern (thrower or flooder) is also crucial. When buying one, it is advisable to seek advice from a specialist.

Are functional shoes or casual shoes waterproof?

If the button or switch is defective and the lamp can no longer be switched off, it is advisable to first remove the batteries to protect the device from overheating (although there is no risk of this with most models). If you cannot fix the defect yourself, the best solution is always to consult a specialist.

Since when have flashlights existed?

The light bulb in general was invented around 1880 by Thomas Alva Edison. The patent for the electric flashlight has existed since 1903 in the USA. The inventor was Conrad Hubert, a Russian immigrant. Incidentally, the “modern classic” was introduced by Maglite in 1979.

What are angle flashlights?

Angle flashlights, as the name suggests, all have a bend/angle. Thanks to the 90° design of the lamp, new fields of application open up. For example, it can also be used as a stand flashlight. Simply place it on its “base” and illuminate your work area. With these lamps, aiming the beam is very easy because the angle prevents them from rolling away.
