From helping you find your way back to your campsite, to allowing you to find a missing widget under the bed, to providing illumination when the lights go out, to warding off a would-be attacker, there are few tools as handy and essential as the flashlight. And there are few tools that elicit as much affection and attachment. I think our Chinese friends\u2019\u00a0word for the flashlight \u2013 torch \u2013 gets right to the heart of the appeal. The torch flashlight<\/a><\/strong> is simply the latest iteration of the ancient need to carry fire in one\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve moved from burning branches to battery-powered tubes, the number of options for hand-held light has multiplied. You may think that all flashlights are the same, but boy you\u2019d be wrong. There\u2019s more to know than you could possibly imagine. Today, we\u2019ll stick to the basics that every man should know and consider when buying a flashlight.\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Five Basic Categories of torch flashlight<\/strong><\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

keychain flashlight<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0or <\/b><\/strong>EDC<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>flashlight<\/b><\/strong>:<\/b><\/strong>Typically 3\u201d\u00a0or less in length, these flashlights are an essential part of one\u2019s EDC (Everyday Carry) kit. Their small size allows you to stick them in your pocket, stash them in various bags, or \u2014 and this is the easiest, most foolproof option \u2014 attach to a keychain. With their low light, they are intended to be used as a backup or emergency flashlight, not your primary one.\u00a0That will run on a single AA or AAA battery.<\/p>\n

Tactical<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0torch <\/b><\/strong>flashlight<\/b><\/strong><\/a>\uff1a<\/b><\/strong>\u201cA tactical flashlight is simply a flashlight that\u2019s been designed for tactical (i.e. military or police) use. Many tactical flashlights are designed to be mounted to a weapon for low-light shooting. They\u2019re typically smaller than traditional flashlights, emit much more light, and are made of weapon-grade aluminum for maximum durability. While tactical flashlights are designed primarily for military and police units, they\u2019re also a really handy everyday and personal defense tool for the average civilian.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heavy-Duty torch flashlight or Industrial torch flashlight:<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0These are the heavy, generally aluminum flashlights that you have in your house or garage, or on a worksite for extended use. Because of their hefty weight, some people carry them as a personal defense weapon as well. Think classic Maglite for this category. They give a lot of power but retain their handy size at generally between 5-14\u201d\u00a0long. They\u2019re usually too big for a pocket, but still easily hand-held.<\/p>\n

Emergency torch <\/b><\/strong>flashlight<\/b><\/strong>: <\/b><\/strong>These are small body usually mainly in eme<\/span>rgency kits.<\/p>\n

Rechargeable torch <\/b><\/strong>flashlight<\/b><\/strong>: Charger directly LED flashlight, usually made of aluminum. Rechargeable flashlight are very popular, because it\u2019s very helpful to work, camping or other active.<\/p>\n
