The Best torch 2020

• If you’re just looking to invest in one flashlight, ensure it’s waterproof so that you can use it outdoors in all types of weather. Ideally you’ll choose one that isn’t too heavy, helping to avoid wrist strain during use, and that has a rechargeable power source and a variety of different lighting modes.
• Neatly wrapping up all of those features is the Olight S2R Baton II. This versatile torch is fully weatherproof and feels reassuring but not too heavy in the hand. It pumps out up to a whopping 1,050 lumens, and has a battery indicator light to ensure you don't get caught out with no juice

  CHOOSING THE BEST 

  The best torch for you will depends on your demands, but there’s plenty of choice for those that want to upgrade from their smartphone’s weak and weedy flashlight. For example, a keyring flashlight is ideal for stashing in a bag so that you always have a half-decent source of emergency light to hand. For those willing to travel with a little more bulk, compact torches are small enough for stashing in camping kit bags and hiking backpacks. What’s more, they can pump out a lot of brightness.

  For those who work outdo

  Torches come in a variety of sizes, from chunky handheld floodlights to dinky keyring lights. Beam strength ranges from 10 to 7,000+ lumens, depending on the type of torch you buy, though anything over 150 lumens offers a decent level of brightness. 

  For outdoor adventures where you need to clearly see where you’re stepping in the dark, especially on trails and in remote rural areas, pack a torch that has 800+ lumens and ideally a range of modes including SOS or Strobe. Security guards and other outdoors workers would do well with tactical torches dishing out 1,500+ lumens, which quickly light up even the darkest areas. 

  

• ors and need to create an intense beam of light quickly to locate someone or something, look for a portable floodlight or a tactical torch, both of which will have a super-high lumens count for maximum brightness. The latter will be easy to attach to your clothing or bag too.The rechargeable flashlights in our best torches list cost more than battery-operated models, but this higher cost will pay handsomely in the long run. Not only will they prevent you from constantly having to shell-out for new batteries, but you will contribute less to landfill.
