Camping Torch
How many lumens for a camping/survival torch?
I need a bright torch for going into the forests at night etc.
I have seen a few maglites and other brands that are considered good but I’m not sure about the lumens rating. I need something that has a wide beam and a focus mode.
A Mini Mag-Lite is about 8 to 10 lumens with fresh batteries. The other size Mag-Lites aren’t well suited for use in the woods.
You can do far better than Mag-Lites today. When I’m traveling the forest at night I wear a Petzl Tikka Plus LED headlamp (13/53 lumens for 150/120 hours, $35), which gives a nice spread and range for just walking around (I usually keep it on low), and also carry a Fenix PD30 R5 LED flashlight (11/75/140/265 lumens for 65/9/4/1.5 hrs, $65) for spot work.
If those prices are out of reach, you can find a decent LED headlamp at Walmart for around $20 and an LED flashlight for around $30. LED’s are the key for high brightness and long runtimes.
For best performance, use only Lithium batteries (Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA or AAA).
