10 most long-range flashlights

Let's start looking at this long-range flashlight right away from the characteristics: luminous range of 300 meters, beam brightness of 900 lumens, class 8 body protection, power supply from one AAA battery. There is nothing revolutionary. There are models that are much more powerful and durable, but what is really surprising is the duration of the work. Here this figure is 170 hours.

It is difficult to find something similar on the market, perhaps the manufacturer slightly exaggerated the value. It was this fact that served as the reason for placing this product in such a not honorable place in the rating. Unfortunately, there are no real test results yet.

Lanterns can work from different power sources. Somewhere ordinary penlight batteries are used. Somewhere there are AAA class battery cells, and somewhere, as in this model, there are own modules that do not need to be changed or pulled out. This flashlight is charged through any USB connector, just like your smartphone or tablet.A single charge is enough for about 30 hours of operation, which is quite a lot, given the compactness of the case, which can easily fit in a trouser or jacket pocket.

Let's make a reservation right away that this is not the most powerful model in our rating, which is why it is on such a line of the TOP. Light range is only 200 meters. But this is not enough in relation to full-fledged long-range searchlights, and for such a “baby” this is quite a worthy result. But the brightness of the glow here is beyond praise. Almost one and a half thousand lumens, and this is the best result even for bulkier models. In general, we have the perfect combination of quality characteristics and ease of use. But the price is obviously pumping up. The device is expensive, and this is partly due to the American origin of the brand, although the product is produced in Taiwan.

The range of illumination in long-range spotlights is provided by a lens. Skillful refraction of light can remove it to a considerable distance, but this is not enough for a flashlight. Also, you should always pay attention to such a parameter as brightness. It is measured in lumens, and it determines how intense the glow will be. This model uses 1500 lumens at once, and this is the best indicator, but not the highest. Yes, there are flashlights with brighter light, but they are more expensive.

Here we see a harmonious combination of characteristics and price. Yes, it is not the cheapest model and it shines up to a maximum of 400 meters, but for fishing and hunting, as practice shows, this is quite enough. In addition, there is a highly protected aluminum alloy case.It easily withstands even falls from great heights and can operate in direct contact with moisture. Not under water, of course, but the lantern is clearly not afraid of rain or snow.

Since a long-range flashlight is most often used for fishing or hunting, that is, in an initially hostile environment, special attention should be paid to its degree of protection. There are several protection classes, and the higher this figure, the better. Before us is the best example of how to protect a lantern. The class here is 25, and this is the highest figure on the market. The device works even in direct contact with water, and of course, rain or snow cannot harm it.

Another advantage is the high-strength housing made of aluminum alloy. It is lightweight, which is very important, given the length of the lantern of 400 millimeters, and at the same time durable. It is very difficult to damage such a structure, and accidental falls are not terrible for it. The rest of the characteristics are also at a decent level. The beam shines at 300 meters, and one battery charge is enough for 11 hours of continuous operation.

Before us is the most compact, and at the same time convenient long-range flashlight, which has a non-standard form factor. It should be noted right away that such a design is due not only to technical aspects, but also to decorative ones. Three working lenses provide a brightness of almost three thousand lumens, and they work together. Everything else is a tribute to decor.The handle on the top is not so relevant, since the spotlight itself is quite compact. Simply put, the manufacturer tried to combine high functionality with visual appeal, and he succeeded.

But in what he obviously went over, it's in advertising promises. Judging by the descriptions of the goods, its fury is 6 thousand lumens, and the maximum range is set at around 1.5 kilometers. Any person working with such devices will certainly doubt these data, and they will be right. Judging by the test results, the parameters are almost doubled. Each lens has 800 lumens. We multiply them by the total number, that is, three. The range does not exceed a kilometer. Also a high figure, and it is completely incomprehensible why the manufacturer overestimated it so much.

The name of this flashlight refers us to military technology, and immediately inspires confidence. But this is just an advertising move, and this product is not in service with any army in the world. This is a Chinese brand that produces powerful long-range flashlights and searchlights, one of which we are now considering.

The indicators and technical characteristics are excellent here: the brightness of the glow is 1350 lumens. The beam range is almost 800 meters. The eighth class of protection, as well as a durable and at the same time lightweight aluminum case. Great option for hunting, fishing or tourism. The lamp works in three modes, including the strobe mode. It is powered by two AAA batteries, and the set diode operation mode is more than 750 hours. The only drawback that immediately catches your eye is the price.Almost 9 thousand rubles for a flashlight, albeit with the highest performance, is a lot. However, judging by the popularity of the product and the brand as a whole, it has its fans, and there are many of them.

Lovers of hunting, fishing and tourism pay much attention to the quality of goods. In conditions of remoteness from civilization, one cannot rely on the eternal “maybe”, therefore, in the market for such accessories, all brands are closely monitored. For example, we have before us the most popular Russian manufacturer of electrical goods. Its range includes light bulbs, lamps, as well as long-range lights, one of which we are now considering.

The range of its glow is 400 meters, with a diode brightness of 500 lumens. Quite a worthy result, given the compact form factor and ease of construction. At the same time, the flashlight has the highest level of protection, and in addition, it does not shock with its price. Moreover, you do not need to buy additional batteries for it, the cost of which often reaches the cost of the flashlight itself. This model runs on three AAA batteries, and they last for 36 hours of continuous operation. The secret of such durability lies in the LEDs that this company develops. In fact, the lantern is only a by-product of their activities, but it can definitely be called the best combination of price and quality.

Almost any long-range flashlight faces the problem of power consumption.It is difficult to keep a spotlight running with two small batteries, especially when it comes to long hours without recharging. If you're looking for a flashlight that will provide you with bright light for hours on end, then this is the one for you.

This is not the most compact form factor, and it is due not only to a large lens that provides a glow range of 900 meters, but also to a built-in high-capacity lithium battery. It's a 12 volt battery that can even start a car if needed, so it's no wonder it's so big. However, it cannot be said that the product is uncomfortable. It fits perfectly in the hand, thanks to the handle on the top, and has a stand that is adjustable in height and angle. This is not just a flashlight, but a full-fledged source of directional light, which you can simply install in a comfortable position, and continue to go about your business.

Until now, it is believed that a long-range flashlight should be large and weigh several kilograms. But modern technologies do not stand still, and we have a model worn on the head. Its weight is only 300 grams, while the beam of light given out by the lantern cuts the darkness at a distance of a kilometer, and this is not a mistake or a publicity stunt. This is truly the most powerful headlamp with the best performance.

The brightness of its light is 3 thousand lumens, and these indicators are provided by the presence of three spotlights at once, working as one.It was a combination of several reflectors that managed to achieve such results, and on a single charge the flashlight works up to 15 hours, which is also an excellent result. It is powered by two rechargeable batteries, and has a high degree of protection against moisture, heat and mechanical damage. At the same time, the price is not particularly scary. Yes, conventional headlamps are cheaper, but their performance is several times lower.

This long-range flashlight, or rather a searchlight, came to the first place in the rating not by chance. He has the highest scores in all areas. Let's start with range. Here it is 1000 meters. Yes, that's right, the beam hits a distance of a kilometer, and so far no one has succeeded in breaking this record, at least when taking into account such a form factor. Next, brightness. 1200 lumens. The best result capable of blinding at a short distance. And finally, the duration of the diodes is 360 hours. A simply amazing result, leaving no doubt that this is the best long-range flashlight on the market today.

It is powered by only two standard AAA batteries. How the manufacturer managed to achieve such results remains a mystery. With such a searchlight, you can safely go camping or hunting. If necessary, he will easily give a signal, because. works in five modes at once. At such a distance, and with such a level of brightness, the probability of detecting a beam rises several times. And the rather high price, which at first may be shocking, no longer seems unjustified.
