What are lumens?

When you’re searching for a tactical flashlight to purchase, you’ll often run into the word “lumens”, the basic definition of the term lumens is the amount of light that is generated from a torch or bulb.

Lumens describe the output of light that your flashlight provides. So when you’re shopping for your next tactical torch, you should also take note of the lumen output according to the type of flashlight you want to buy.

Overall, having a basic knowledge of what lumens are and the amount you need for the flashlight suited for your needs will assist you when it comes to choosing between a range of torch models.

If you’re looking for a high-quality tactical torch you’ll need to get one that has a lumen output of anything over 100 lumens. 

Should you be looking for a small, lightweight tactical torch that is perfect for every day carry, the Klarus Mi7 and the Klarus Mi7 Ti have a max lumen output of 700LM. 

The Klarus HA2C is a multifunctional torch with an amazing lumen output of 3200 lumens, however, if you’d like the power of the sun in your hand then the Klarus XT21X is perfectly suited for you with a whopping lumen output of 4000 lumens!

What is the Perfect Size Flashlight for your needs?

Weight can play a big role when it comes to deciding what tactical torch is perfectly suited for you. If the flashlight weighs quite a bit then this generally means it is bigger in size and provides more power, however a larger, heavier flashlight may not necessarily offer a better level of brightness than a smaller, lighter counterpart.

For those who need a larger flashlight…

Larger, heavier tactical flashlights are perfect for home use or camping when weight and size are not so important. They are also excellent for the car, boat or even your emergency bag. Many security and law enforcement professionals favour the larger models because they can be used as a self-defence weapon.

BUT, bigger is not always better! If you are going to be carrying around your flashlight for a long period of time, then investing in a large tactical flashlight might not be your best option. Always be sure to evaluate a variety of weights and models before you decide on the right one for you.

For those who need a smaller flashlight…

Small, lightweight flashlights are ideal for those who engage in activities covering long distances, such as backpackers and hikers. They love small flashlights because they don’t take up much space, they don’t add weight to their backpacks and they’ve still powerful enough to illuminate a trail. 

Keep a lightweight tactical flashlight in your car, your emergency kit or even in your handbag or pocket. Your choice of tactical flashlight is entirely a matter of personal choice.

More about the Amazing Klarus Mi7 Flashlight

700 lumens coming from a flashlight that is smaller than a pen – just let that sink in for a minute or two. Then take a look at the awesome Klarus flashlight, the tiny, yet elegant Mi7.

If you thought you’d seen the last of the AA flashlights, since manufacturers have focused more on the 18650 battery, you’re wrong. Clearly Klarus haven’t forgotten about the die-hard fans of the AA battery.

The Mi7 comes in three striking colours and accepts two types of AA-sized batteries. The AA primary allows an output of up to 330 lumens for 55 minutes, and using a 14500 li-ion rechargeable battery more than doubles the output to 700 lumens.

Three levels with SOS/moonlight modes are controlled with a side-button switch, with one-touch access to the latter modes as well as a battery level indicator.

What about carrying the Mi7 around, won’t such a small flashlight be easy to lose? No ways! Carrying the Mi7 is easy thanks to the keychain friendly o-ring on its tail and its hard anodized aluminium body ensures that it doesn’t get damaged when in use.

Have your gotten over the 700 lumens from a flashlight of this size yet? If so, pick up the Klarus Mi7 from the Klarus website or email sales@klaruslight.co.za
