Get a Tactical LED Flashlight for Superb Control
The tactical LED flashlight keeps evolving and improving, providing ever more control towards the one wielding it. An LED flashlight for tactical or military missions would have been laughable 10 or 15 in years past, however it is clearly the way to go, “outshining” other forms. This is due to the unbeatable mixture of super strong brightness, ruggedness, longevity, and portability.
500 lumen flashlight - The tactical LED flashlight has to withstand brutal punishment and still operate. It needs to be bright enough to disorient and ruffle the enemy, yet ideally it should be invisible (when powered down) so you don't give away one’s position. Tactics demands the light have alternative beam modes, particularly signaling (SOS) and strobe. And a desired feature is usually to be mountable on a weapon, such as a rifle, for hands-free action.
Taken together, these features furnish control. Now they're achievable in a single package, whereas before they were not. Extreme brightness utilized to mean that power was produced from big, heavy batteries, causing a product impractical and unwieldy. A mountable light was inherently not bright.
But technological breakthroughs in light emitting diode (LED) research started to make the ideal tactical flashlight possible in early 2000’s. Operating characteristics were perfected until LED bulbs attained a luminous efficiency of a huge selection of lumens per watt (compared to roughly 15 lumens per watt for incandescent bulbs).
Thought LEDs emit monochromatic light, researchers found approaches to combine different colors to synthesize white light. This characteristic, along with its high luminous efficiency, quickly made the LED bulb the most obvious choice. Soon the LED flashlight achieved a brightness that far surpassed the brightest flashlights from before.
A good example of such a light available today is the Simon Cree LED Flashlight T6 Pro. This allows the user with control over the beam mode (high beam, medium beam, low beam, SOS, strobe) and beam width (adjustable ring with 16 settings). It is mountable over a weapon and its maximum output is 500 lumens (considered bright enough to bring temporary blindness).
Furthermore, it gets its power from only three AAA batteries! This ease of superb brightness in a small package has revolutionized the concept of tactical flashlights. Anyone can use a high-brightness LED flashlight that conveniently corresponds the palm of the hand. Whether hand-held or attached to ammunition, this new device easily meets the desire for portability.
The will for ruggedness and longevity are also easily met. For instance, all Simon products have cases produced from hardened aluminum. They are designed to withstand the brutal treatment that often arises on tactical missions.
As well as the LED bulb far exceeds the incandescent bulb with regards to reliability and longevity. The typical incandescent bulb has a lifespan between 1,000 and two,000 hours. LEDs last 25 times for as long. Also, LEDs are much more shock-resistant; they don’t get frail and brittle like incandescent bulbs.
Naturally, when a tactical light is created small for mounting on weapons it is due to that lightweight. The LED flashlight’s lightness makes it readily and quickly accessible, and wielding it can be performed with one hand, freeing one other for the tasks with the moment.
It should easily be apparent that the modern tactical LED flashlight provides excellent control for many situations.
