#Ultra high candela flashlight series

If you want an evenly illuminated area, with a less bright spot and do close up work, like reading a map, a flashlight with a lower candela rating is for you! High candela rated torches are good for visibility in smoke and fog and if you want a concentrated beam. Candelas measure light intensity in only 1 direction.Ī higher candela rating indicates a longer beam distance because more intense light travels further. Ĭandelas (cd) help with understanding how focussed and intense the light source is.

So let's look at some important torch related definitions: What is a Lumen? Using a 5 lumens keychain torch for search and rescue probably won't help much and using a 12000 lumens flood torch (such as the Wuben A9) is going to be more than what you need for when locking a gate at night. Having the correct flashlight for the correct job is important. What's the difference between 'lumens', 'candela', 'lux' and 'throw'?
