Worlds Brightest Flashlight
I’ve recently, thanks to my father-in-law, have become a flashlight enthusiast and set out to find the brightest flashlight money can buy. Before I started my research, I figured a flashlight couldn’t cost more than a $100 and was shocked to find lights that run more than $2,000!
Below you’ll not only find the brightest flashlight at the most affordable price, but also an unbiased review of the brightest flashlights broken down into three prices ranges, less than $50, less than $500 and more than $500.
Brightest Flashlight tested by Elysia
First, understand that Lumen is the measure of total light output falling on a surface of one square foot. Many people ask how to convert between candelas to lumen and it’s not possible to make a direct conversion, there are just too many factors. For example, here is a description of lumen:
A lumen is the quantity of light energy per unit time arriving, leaving or going through a surface. The unit of luminous flux is the lumen (lm). A dinner candle shines at about 12 lumens. If a uniform point source of 1 candela is at the center of a sphere of 1-foot radius, which has an opening of 1 square foot area at its surface, the quantity of light that passes through is called a lumen. The sphere has a total surface area of 12.57 square feet. Since by definition, a lumen flows to each square foot of surface area, a uniform point of 1 candela produces 12.57 lumens. – taken from the book ‘The use of and need for preservation standards in architectural conversion by Lauren B. Sickles-Taves, ISBN 0803126069, 9780803126060, page 35.
From the description above, one might think that a 1 million candle power flashlight would be 12,570,000 Lumens (1,000,000 x 12.57), not the case. A 1 million candle power spotlight may seem bright, but if the beam of light it puts out is only as big as a laser pen, then it’s not much use; the size of the beam is very important.
Imagine a dark room and a small beam of sunlight coming through a little hole in the door; think of the beam as candlepower with not much lumen (ability to light up the room). A small lamp on the table would light up the room far more than the beam of sunlight. That lamp has high lumens, but modest candlepower. Look at the difference between the 1 and 20 million lights below and you’ll notice the higher candle power doesn’t mean the lumens will increase proportionally.
Here are a few comparisons:
- A dinner candle provides about 12 lumens
- A 60-watt light bulb emits 730 lumens
- A 50-watt halogen lamp has about 900 Lumens
- A 100-watt incandescent bulb produces 1750 lumens
- A 40-watt cool white fluorescent produces 3150 lumens.
- A good LED flashlight produces around 40 lumens
- A 1 million candle power spotlight 580 lumens (VEC156BD)
- A 20 million candle power spotlight 3300 Lumens (VEC192)
A bit about Flashlight Blubs:
HIDs are bulbs that use a sustained electrical spark to create light. Very bright(and very efficient), can be focused really well as in can throw far) but requires a ballast which takes up space and is 10 Watts minimal. Smallest size I’ve seen them is around a normal 2D light size. You can choose from many different types, powers, color temperature and such. The lowest I’ve seen from a HID is around 500 lumen and highest goes over a million lumen. They usually have a longer life then an Incandescent bulb. Price is usually high though at over $100 for the cheaper ones. Usually powered by internal rechargeable batteries.
Incandescents, Halogen, Xenon, what ever that uses resistance from a thin wire to heat it self up to a glowing temperature to provide light I will group into incandescents. These are the most common, easiest to find lights. Efficiency is pretty low(compared to LEDs and HIDs) but it is found everywhere. There are also many powers to choose from(watts and lumen wise) but the max color temperature I’ve seen is in the high 3000ks(maybe 4000k). Sunlight is around 6000K. They give better color rendering then LEDs(things pop out more) but for the same output, have much shorter run time then LED or a HID for the same lumen. Many still use them for the color rendering or in hot wire mods (hot wire mods drive the lamps past their intended voltage and current for more output and a whiter light). They can give a good bit of throw(this depends more on the reflector then the emitting surface). The normal 2D incandescent light you see is around 15 lumen. Powered by all types of batteries, higher power ones use good rechargeable batteries.
LEDs give the best output to run time ratio for smaller lights. They can be dimmed without much change in tint unlike incandescent and HIDs (HIDs can be degraded faster by under or over driving). They have the longest life out of all the above two light sources. They come in a variety of different colors. They most common ones are the 5mm LEDs, you’ll need to use quite a few to equal one of the high power LEDs that most LED lights discussed here have and are hard to focus. They are very popular for smaller lights and many people here one at least one. The current gen of LEDs are the brightest ones out right now(they are the Cree XR-E P4-R2 bin, Seoul P4 U-V bin, Luxeon Rebel 80-100 bin, Luxeon TFFC 180 bin and up, Seoul P7 C bin). The better ones can easily hit over 200 lumen when driven within spec and can hit 300 if over driven. They are mainly powered by Li-ion batteries of various sizes, CR123s, and AA batteries. There are some that use other batteries. Many have multiple modes for longer run time, higher output, strobe and so on. Quote from candlepowerforums.com, an awesome resource for those looking to make their own high powered flashlight.
Brightest Hand Held Flashlight under $50
My personal favorite for indoor use is the Rayovac Sportsman Xtreme 2AA 3 Watt Luxeon LED Flashlight ( SELUX2AA3W-B ).
This flashlight takes two AA batteries and produces 80 lumen. The sportsman extreme has DC/DC regulated circuitry allowing the brightest light over the lifetime of the battery, is made with aircraft grade aluminum and comes with a lifetime warranty; you can find it for around $25. I like it because it uses standard batteries, inexpensive, bright and has a lightweight compact design. It runs for about two hours.
Twice the size but still lightweight and the brightest for under $50 is the Rayovac Sportsman Xtreme 4W LED 3C Flashlight (RAYSE4W3C) that runs about $30 and produces 120 Lumen. It’s bigger than the the 3 Watt and powered by 3 C batteries.
I should note that Remington Arms Company is offering a Remington High-Performance LED Headlight (RMHL4AA-B) (for your head) that puts out 150 lumens and they claim it is the brightes head light you can get. It runs about $50, has colored LED’s for night vision, and blood tracking (when hunting). It uses 4 AAA and runs 25 hours (low power) and 4 hours full power.
Remington Arms also offers a RM123A-B 150 lumens, 3W LED handheld flashlight, but it takes expensive 2 CR123A Lithium batteries.
* Winner for under $50 is Rayovac Sportsman Xtreme 4W LED 3C Flashlight (RAYSE4W3C)
Brightest HandHeld Flashlight Under $500
Warning: Although very bright, these lights can generate enough heat to start a fire, so caution should be used and such flashlights should be stored out of reach of children! The Borealis burned a hole into a sheet of white paper in less than 60 seconds and the Torch melts a plastic cup in about the same time.
I found a ton of flashlights in this range but only one outshines the rest. Most were flashlights like the Streamlight Stinger LED Flashlight for $100 which boasted 80 lumens, but when you can get the sportsman extreme for $25 with the same lumens and smaller, why bother?
Another was the X7 Light Cannon with lumens output of 1068 (Model number: 8437) which takes Four D-Cells and costs $400. Expensive, but I love the run time on this light! The LED Lenser light engineered by Zwebruder Optoelectronics GmbH of Solingen, Germany and available in the USA from Coast Products of Portland, Oregon.
Borealis Flashlight is a 2 million candle power handheld. Brightest light with longest runtime for under $500
The one that stood out among the rest was the Borealis 1050 found at Black Bear Flashlights. This isn’t a small unit like the sports extreme 80 lumens, but it’s not big and clunky like a Spotlight. It’s the exact same size as a 3 D-cell Mag Light used by law enforcement (which by the way outputs only 82 lumens), but more powerful than those spotlights you see attached to police cars; in fact, this flashlight produces 1050 lumens – that’s 2 Million candle power!
The Borealis is so bright that it can burn a hole in paper in a little under 30 seconds; what I really like about the Borealis 1050 is the Spare ‘Safety Bulb’, a lower lumens bulb that not only makes this safe around children, but last even longer on every charge.
The Borealis not only holds the title of ‘Brightest light with longest runtime under $500′, but when used with the ‘Safety Bulb’, can also claim the ‘Brightest safe light on the market for under $500′. When you order, request that the ‘Safety Bulb’ be your spare. If you want the extra 1050 bulb as your spare, you can always buy the ‘Safety Bulb’; it’s only $10, is 500 lumens and still 6 times stronger than standard police issued flashlights!
The Borealis 1050 runs $260, has a run time of 50 minutes, is 12.5 inches long and weighs 28 oz. The batteries are rechargeable with a recharging capability of 1,000 times (That’s 833 hours of run time before another pack of $30 is needed). You can use your own charger or their RC fast charge for $48 which has two charge settings, 3 hour or 1/2 hour.
I have purchased one of these and I must tell you, it is fantastic! Find yourself walking in dark areas and need protection? The Borealis not only blinds your attacker, but can render them unconscious when used as a blunt weapon :)
Torch Flashlight, brightest light under $500
Looking to cook eggs with your flashlight? Then the Torch is just the light; this flashlight generates 4100 lumens which is brighter than the 20 million candle power spotlight! (top right of first photo). As you can see in the video, it’s something that you don’t want your kids fooling around with and can start a fire in seconds! It uses a 100 watt halogen bulb and heat resistant glass that produces 4100 Lumens. Downside, the Torch lasts only 15 minutes at peak charge. Price is about $300.
The torch is the brightest flashlight you can buy for under $500 and gets so hot, that it can fry an egg in a matter of seconds.
Brightest flashlight in the world, and more than $500.
Brightest Flashlight Available
The Polarion PH50 ‘Helios’ HID Searchlight is (or appears to be) the brightest flashlight around – at $2,395, it better be! It puts out 5,200 lumens, runs 60 minutes, is very small and only takes 4 hours to charge! I couldn’t bring myself to spend the two grand necessary for testing, so I’ll just have to trust it’s really that bright :)
To my knowledge, the Helios PH50 is the brightest flashlight in the world and used by military personnel in operations home and abroad.
A bit about Spotlights
Spotlights are big and bulky, especially to 20 and 40 million candle power versions. When you get into spotlights, you need to factor in a few items, those being battery life and the ability to shine (operate) while on 12v battery power (once the internal battery is drained). You can buy a 20 million candlepower spotlight but it will last only 25 minutes (about 10 to 15 minutes really bright, then starts dimming). If you run the battery down to nothing, you can cause damage, so really, you can only run it for about 15 minutes if you want to play it safe. It takes about 16 – 18 hours to recharge the battery!
The brightest spotlight I’ve found is the Sunforce 40 Million Candlepower HID Spotlight Lantern, Model# 77782 for $169. I could not find out what the battery life on this spotlight was and am guessing much less than the 20 million model.
Best bet on Spotlights is the Decker 20 Million Power Series 3335 Lumens Spotlight #VEC192, really a Vector VEC192 20 Mil Candle Power Sport Spot Spotlight. I purchased mine from Tractor Supply and Feed for $44.77.
A bit about Flash
I’m into fishing and one question I have always wondered, is if it’s better to light up a glow spoon with a camera flash or use a high powered spotlight. After a lot of research, a flash is by far the best way to light up that bait. A standard flash pulse puts out over 10,000 lumens which is far greater than any spotlight; a flash is definitely the way to go!
Quality and Service:
If you’re going to spend over $50 for a flashlight, you want to make sure you are getting a quality product. Black Bear Flashlights is a company run by a former watch maker Juan, who builds the Borealis 1050. In fact, you can build these flashlights yourself using a Mag Light shell and parts from different manufacturers, but I prefer to buy the finished product and save myself the hassle.
Before I purchased the Borealis, I had a number of questions for Juan and received immediate responses, something you don’t usually find with the big guys or Amazon type stores.
I received my flashlight, the charger, and detailed instructions. In fact, when I received the package, my daughter immediately grabbed the flashlight and tried to click it on. Fortunately, Jaun shipped it with the back not fully tightened for safety reasons. It’s details like this that set blackbearflashlights.com apart from the rest.
What’s next for me now that I have finished my quest for the Brightest Flashlight? It’s a 1kW Xenon Arc Tank Light and not really something you carry around with you, but something I must have. I’ll be donating a portion of its use to our local SETI project :)
Note: I’ve done my best in trying to provide accurate data; this information is based on my findings which may or may not be 100% accurate. if you have information you would like to share, please feel free to leave a comment.
Interesting info about lumens, candlepower and etc.
hola esta muy interesante..habia cosas que no sabia y otra preg donde se compra las linternas
Rayovac Sportsman Xtreme 4W LED Linterna 3C (RAYSE4W3C) y produce 120 Lumen
gracias y muy interesante
saludos-
Thank YOU for putting together all that information…I didn’t want to spend all night figuring out what to buy of the myriad choices.. I just wanted a flash light for night walks (I’m pretty much night blind)-
Your flashlight info was very educational and fun to read. I am a fire captain in the Honolulu Fire Dept. on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. The area I protect is a mix of both rural and urban, requiring a flashlight that produces big time light. After checking out your website, I would like to purchase either the Borealis 1050 or the X7 Light Cannon. Price, is a major factor in my decision, but a light beam comparison photo would definitely help me make the right choice. Any suggestions? What do you thinks my best choice?
Thank you now I know where to find some of the brighter flashlights variety at a discount.
Hi Guy,
I would suggest the Borealis because you’ll be dealing with a person that cares about what is being sold. Juan was a pleasure to work with and although I have not communicated with him since the original purchase, I feel that if something went wrong with the flashlight, I would receive first rate service.
When you are paying $100′s for a flashlight, service is everything! Perhaps Black Bear Flashlights (Juan) has a government discount? Can’t hurt to ask…
I’ll try to get a x7 light cannon and do a comparison to the Borealis- when I do, I’ll post the results here!
eu gostaria de comprar uma lanterna polarion ph 50 e uma de 100 wats para entregar no Brasil.
Nice info, I recently bought a TrustFire P7-F16 which claims to have 900 lumen, I have no way to measure, but I compared the output to Steamer Scorpion LED (120 Lumen output from their site) and it sure looks a lot brighter, and cost under $40.
Note:
Here is some of the best pricing around for the TrustFire:
Google Products Pricing for TrustFire
The TrustFire P7-F16 has a Seoul Semiconductors SSC emitter and reviewers say the lumens is 250 max (yet the specs state 900 Lumens) with a battery run time of close to one hour (although the site claims 2 hours) on a full charge (1 x 18650 battery).
The beam can’t be adjusted and without the o-ring in the front, water could end up damaging the flashlight.
Mixed reviews were found…
I think you need to check out Coleman’s Max lights. I have a AA LED model that is comparable to tacticals five times it’s price.
i think you should test the terralux flashlight under 40.00 up to 220 lumens with 2 AA … there’s a catch, it only last like 1.5 hour. but not bad for less than 40.00 dollars
I bought a Terra Lux flashlight here in Edmonton, AB that takes 2 AA batteries and puts out 220 lumens for about $38 Canadian. You look into that thing for half a second and your seeing spots for 30 seconds.
Looks like you know your stuff and have done your homework. Perhaps you could help. I carry a 2 d cell regular old cheap rayovac flashlight. Why? its was company issued.
What I like is it uses disposable d cell batteries free from employer. It fits perfectly in the hammer loop on my pants and coveralls. It is a plastic housing so it is kind of light. I would like a LED model to replace it (longer battery life) Big enough to stay secured in a pants hammer loop (big lens) Plastic housing (light weight, doesn’t conduct cold through cloth against leg or in hand) Bright (around 200 lumens) inexpensive (under $50 preferably around 25 or less)
I have seen and read about some Husky models home depot has been selling that might be the ticket. Does anyone know of something else comparable or better?
I just bought a Fenix TK40, and it is extremely bright. The max output was 630 lumen and it seemed to be correct. I compared the TK40 with another flashlight that used Seoul Semiconductors SSC emitter (claimed max output 900 lumen), and TK40 out shined the other flashlight by far. The Fenix TK40 cost about $159, but it’s worth it.
I would love to have the brightest flashlight in the world, have you heard of these guys? elektrolumens.com
They say this light is 10,800 lumens, and it costs $1599.00 . I would love to get your input on this.
Thanks!
$1,600 is a lot of cash for a custom made flashlight!
I have not checked out Elektro Lumens who claim to be the ‘Builder of the Brightest LED Flashlights in the World’, but I’d be more than happy to take a look at one of them and report on the quality, performance and service.
Elektro Lumens has the EDC-MCE for every day use (small hand held) that produces 700 – 900 lumens, the FireSword IV heavier hand held that delivers 3,000 lumens and the Kong 12 UltraThrow (two hands for this one) that kicks out 10,800 lumens – which is the one you are referring to.
I’ll do some research on the company and let you know if it’s legit and what people are saying.
If you find out more, let me know.
Thanks,
Jim
Great information! Thanks for taking the time to publish it.
I just picked up two Life Gear flashlights from costco for $100 total.
They claim 360 lumens, but the reviews say more like 180. I have no idea how to rate it. It won’t quite light up distance objects like my old 2million CP spotlight, but it’s fairly close and pretty focused. The run time seems to be as claimed – around 10 hours for the 3 c-cells. It appears to be nicely made – typical aluminum and waterproof.
Seems like a good buy for a mid-sized LED light with a good run time.
I’ll compare it to that smaller rayovac – that also seems like a good buy.
Hey Anthony,
Great find! Here is a picture for the flashlights:
And at Costco.com, I found these features:
360 Lumens Brightness
Waterproof
Aircraft-Grade Hardened Aluminum
Three CREE LED Bulbs
Law Enforcement Grade
Polycarbonate Optical Reflector
Full Charge Run Time: up to 96 hours
3 x C Batteries (not included)
The Life Gear Flashlight is going for $79.99 item # 415635
Great buy! Thanks for sharing!
Jim
Thanks for taking the time, there is a lot of great info here.
In my quest for a good light, there are countless lights that boast everything you need.
I am an engineer on navy ships so when the lights go out I need something reliable that can provide enough light for a few people to work. So far the company with the model and reputation that is the best has been Streamlight’s Stinger DS LED HP.
It is made for law enforcement applications but part of the Stinger line is coated with polycarbonate and has been rated for any aplication you need. These lights range up to 200 lumens and about $150. Decent price with dependable output.
Hi Mark,
Glad you found the flashlight you like! You might be interested in the Dorcy 200 Lumen LED Tactical Switch Flashlight which gives you 200 lumens for only $40, that’s a big savings!
Here is a picture of the 200 lumens flashlight:
Stanley makes a 192 lumen Model SL5W09 that’s rechargeable with up to 10 hours of run time. Lowe’s has them for $29.95. It looks like a small spotlight and has plenty of brightness for camping and fishing.
The above Dorcy flashlight is a very good light, I owned 2 of them, and love them, the problem with them are is the battery case, The first light I had I dropped it and cracked the battery case, the second one, I don’t really know what happened, or when it went.
and also, if I remember right, Target has them for 30 bucks
Why would you want a flashlight that can set paper on fire in seconds?? What if you were in your home at night and you tripped and dropped the flashlight?? Then you not only have a possible intruder in your home but also a fire to deal with?? Not smart in my book, to me those lights are for search and rescue use only and should be used as such. Not for the average home owner
Check out Cabelas XPG LED light. It is a 3 “bulb”cree unit with an AC/DC rechargeable LI-Ion battery. It is rated at 534 lumen for $175.00. 90 min run time.
Also Dorcy sells a one “bulb” cree unit that puts out 220 lumen. It is a Ni-Cad unit and comes with an AC/DC recharging system. It’s available at Sears or Amazon for about $50.00. Not sure what the run time is but I have left it on over night cycling the Ni-Cad and it still shined a dim light.
I have them both, while I like the Cabelas unit better, I’m not sure it’s worth the money over the Dorcy. I got them both as gifts.
We have used underwater flashlights that utilizes 250w HID bulbs, which give out roughly 25,000 lumens. It lights up a pitch dark underwater cave to look like it was outdoors when in its widest zoom setting. That’s not even the brightest out there.
UPDATE – I now see the Stanley HID0109 (aka Stanley HID3000) is said to produce *3,000* lumens, not 1,365. Things are much, much brighter it seems…!
Hey PB,
That Stanley HID 3000 is a lot bulkier than the Borealis, something that would not be practical on walks, but $80 (what I found was the average) is a great deal for the power.
Thanks!
After reading your reviews I really got interested in learning more about flashlights and since then it is one of my favorite things to google. There are so many out there and so many things to learn!!! I realized how little I knew and your info here couldn’t be a better starting point!
Thank you for your eye opening review and the recomendation!!!
I was looking for a light myself that had a polymer frame,80+lumen rating, 5hr+ run time & around $50. The Rayovac mentioned above seems to be a good fit, but was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions?
LED flashlight has a spot to flood light beam and durable hard anodized aircraft grade aluminum construction. Note: the flashlight is not waterproof.
The two-C cell and two D cell models have 4w led emitters putting out 160 lumens, for less than $35 each by Google Product search.
Great site, Jim.
I see many articles/review of the Boralis 1050 lumen flashlight but no clue as to where one can be bought or the price. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ron Wilson
I was actually looking for a lantern that put out a good light output and run for a fair bit of time. I’d be using this to illuminate a 20X20 campsite.
I saw that Coleman had a Coleman® Twin LED HP Lantern for $70′ish.
At 580 lumens on high (10 lumens on low), its battery-operated lantern is the brightest Coleman currently offers. Uses four Cree 7090 XR-E Emitter LEDs.
Anyone know of anything better?
I’m a cop and a bit of a “kit monkey” and i’ve just bought “the torch”, ( not been delivered yet, i’ll let you know how i get on with it), i currently just use a two D cell mag light with the 20 watt led conversion, and my belt torch is an Inova T3 which is about 150 Lumens… it’s a good torch and just about as bright as the mag light but the batteries are camera batteries which inevitably seems to cost more and don’t seem to last very long.
The run time on “the torch” bothered me a little although it comes with it’s own charger and rechargable batteries that can be on every daytime if need be… i’ll be checking how it goes for you guys.
HID country has a 50 watt, 4500 lumens rechargeable flash light that runs for 90 minutes. It shines 4900 ft. Price is $279.00. Any thing I need to know about this light after reading your info? Thanks
I would like to upgrade my 2 “D” cell maglite to LED. Could someone let me know the brightest/cheapest option.
Thank You
There is another flashlight I would say was over looked, Please take a look a RYOBI flashlight (8056 RP4400 Flashlight) which uses a rechargeable 4 Volt TEK 4 ion cell and take a ac wall charger. Price with charger ,light , battery is around 23.00 at Home depot.
The light is a little used now but still works great, I when and got a 2nd one and placed it up as you know Companies will stop making item overnight and I like this light . As for being brite it is just like a maglight LED D cell but better with the size being a pocket type work tool light. Check it out and post how you like this light, you have nothing to lose as Home depot has a 30 day no ask return on most items it you don’t like it.
I’m not a Homedepot saleman or RYOBI salemans just a plain old person who found a great little light and want to pass it on. This light has even been under water.

Thanks for the information Jimmy but I have some disappointing results!
I too wondered how many lumens the ryobi tek4 flashlight had and was very excited when I saw the specs (2600 lumens) – I ran right down to Home Depot and an employee had a fully charged battery that he let me use to test out the flashlight. I was very disappointed and there was no way it was 2600 lumens! It was bright, but nothing that would shocking or that would warrant $45.
The flashlight cost a lot more than initially stated, but I’m guessing you already had the battery and battery charger, correct?
Here is the total cost of the flashlight:
RYOBI tek4 flashlight: $19.97
Battery: $12.97
Charger: $11.97
Total Cost: $44.91
I appreciate the comment and the time you took, but I would not say it anywhere close to the worlds brightest LED flashlight.
It is heavy at about 15 lbs, but it is a hybrid light using both a main Xenon bulb along with 4 L.E.D. assist bulbs so it last much longer than similar lights at approximately 40 minutes.
The light can also be used to jump start your vehicle.
