There are a number of benefits to a high powered LED not the least of which being the fact that they can illuminate an area that is a significant distance away from the flashlight. However, there are a number of other benefits that these flashlights offer with one of the most important being the cost saving effectiveness of the LED bulb’s shelf life.

All light bulbs will get hot after long periods of use. But heat is not always a bulbs best friend. Heat can cause damage and inefficiency if allowed to get hot without any sort of cooling management. This is true for LED bulbs as well. LED bulbs will get hot, despite their demure size. If an LED bulb is allowed to get hot in whatever application it is being used in – LED headlamp, lantern, flashlight, etc. – the lifespan of the bulb will be significantly decreased to the point that it may burn out all together. There goes that great big promise of a long lasting LED flashlight. So what do quality LED flashlight makers do to ensure that the LED lights manage their heat so that they will burn brightly and efficiently for the timeframe they say they will?

We hear a lot about the lumens of a flashlight or the wattage of a lightbulb but do any of us really understand what this means? When we see this information on product packaging does it register any sort of “oh good” or that’s too low? For most of us, we glaze over as this information is passed onto us. Well, maybe if you knew more about what this means, you may pay closer attention. It actually can be very helpful.

You have probably heard a lot about how much “energy-savings” LED lights provide. But what does that really mean? Does it really affect you in the long run? I think it does. Take LED flashlights as an example. Your standard police or camping flashlight that uses incandescent light bulbs will go through 17 bulbs and 80 batteries over the course of 200 hours of use. Sounds standard, right? I mean, we all have had to replace the batteries in our flashlights multiple times over the course of the summer. But compare that to an LED flashlight, like LED Lenser. The same flashlight that utilizes an LED bulb will go through 8 batteries and 1 LED bulb over a 200 hour period of use.
