FAQ · Flashlights
Are expensive flashlights worth it?
Past roughly $40–60 you are paying for better tint and CRI, cleaner user interfaces, real waterproofing, regulated output, and support or warranty — not just more lumens. Budget lights can be genuine bargains, but premium lights tend to be more pleasant to use daily and to last. Match the spend to how much the light actually does for you.
