Nowadays, outdoor sports have higher and higher requirements for lighting tools. Different outdoor activities have different requirements for outdoor torches. For example, searching needs high brightness and far irradiation, diving needs good waterproof performance, hiking needs better endurance and good flood light. Therefore, we can discuss the following important points to choose the right outdoor flashlight. Appropriate outdoor light, can make outdoor activities safer, more exciting.
1, stable enough performance
Outdoor lighting tools are required to be "available at all times with sufficient functions". Poor reliability of lighting tools can be fatal in critical moments, and the most serious may lead to life danger. Therefore, high reliability is the most important principle for selecting outdoor sports lighting tools. Stable quality and good environmental adaptability is the first consideration to buy outdoor flashlight.
2, good waterproof performance
Relative to ordinary household use, outdoor flashlight needs to solve the waterproof problem first, the reassuring waterproof standard is of course IPX-8, soaked in shallow water (generally refers to 2 meters) can be used normally, of course, against the rain is not a word, in a sense, waterproof also belongs to the content of outdoor reliability. Outdoor flashlight often has good sealing performance, with multiple waterproof rubber ring protection, to ensure adequate waterproof ability.
3, It is very convenient to carry
Outdoor flashlight should be as convenient as possible to carry, carry out without increasing the weight, save energy, general personal outdoor flashlight is best controlled within 100 grams. Strong light type outdoor flashlight shape is not suitable for too large, the weight is recommended to be controlled within 200 grams.
4, ordinary battery and can save electricity
Outdoor torches are best served with batteries that can be found in stores around the world, even in small villages. In most cases, the ideal battery for this feature is AA batteries. If you use batteries that are inconvenient to purchase, prepare enough spare batteries before traveling according to the situation. At present, the strong light flashlight usually uses rechargeable lithium battery 18650 as the power source. The strong light continuous lighting time is usually 2.5 hours, which requires us to bring spare batteries according to the need. At the same time, in the actual use of the process, the appropriate choice of light or low light lighting is conducive to prolong the flashlight lighting time. Alternatively, consider using a flashlight powered by multiple batteries, which will last longer.
5, can be multi-gear operation
Many primary outdoor flashlight friends, always feel that the operation of multi-gear flashlight is too tedious. In fact, it is necessary to have a multi-gear outdoor flashlight, at least with strong light, weak light, flash function. Single gear flashlight is not flexible enough, with light or weak light flashlight, can be switched in time, one is conducive to heat dissipation, two is also conducive to prolong the lighting time of the flashlight. It is best to have a flashlight with a low brightness of dozens of hours or more, so that it can be lit continuously for more than a week in extreme circumstances. With the advent of multi-gear dimming technology, the brightness and battery life of fish and bear PAWS appear on the same flashlight. You can choose the best brightness for different uses, such as camping, hiking, searching, etc., while saving precious energy wisely. Meanwhile, the multilevel dimming technology has spawned several auxiliary features, such as SOS, which can be used to send out a Morse code to rescue rescuers in case of danger.
6, high and constant brightness
Outdoor activities in a complex environment, no one can guarantee what you will encounter, in the need for high brightness lighting, but the flashlight is not enough, this is very dangerous. It also makes it easier for others to spot it in an emergency. Therefore, a high-brightness flashlight is an essential lighting tool, especially for the exploration of unfamiliar road sections. The highest brightness of the flashlight is better than 200 lumens, and the lighting distance is more than 100 meters. While the flashlight is working, the battery is getting lower and lower with the energy consumption voltage, and the brightness of the conventional flashlight also decreases, and the lighting effect gradually becomes worse. When the brightness of the flashlight falls to a certain degree, it can not provide proper lighting, so only the battery is replaced, and at this time the battery often has half of the power, so this part of the power is wasted. The appearance of constant brightness technology solves this problem. Constant brightness flashlight can ignore the change of battery voltage and provide almost constant brightness in most of the time, which not only improves the lighting effect, but also makes full use of every minute of battery energy.
