Compared to an everyday carry flashlight, a good outdoor flashlight has a more robust design. An LED flashlight for outdoor use is impact resistant, waterproof and durable. Features that contribute to the long life of an outdoor flashlight. An everyday carry flashlight, on the other hand, is design for use around the home and for general use.

Hard shell, strong core: what should you look for when buying an outdoor flashlight?
Maximum versatility, functionality and reliability are the decisive factors for all of your outdoor equipment. This is especially true for an outdoor flashlight, which you can always rely on for many reasons.
- Size and weight: if you're hiking in the mountains with a backpack, the lighter your load, the better. This also applies to mountain bikers and runners who appreciate a lightweight and ergonomic headlamp.
- Brightness: more lumens is better – however, the brightness of a good LED flashlight should also be fine tunable. As a rule of thumb, the brightness of an outdoor flashlight should not be less than 100 lumens.
- Illumination range: a high illumination range is important for detecting people or objects at long distances. The light beam should also be focusable on as small a point as possible for several hundred meters.
- Runtime: ideally, the battery charge on an outdoor flashlight should last for several days – especially if there is no opportunity to buy more batteries or to recharge batteries.
- Power supply: even an LED flashlight or a headlamp with the longest battery life will eventually run out of power. Models that have a USB port and can be recharged via a powerbank, for example, are therefore ideal. Nature lovers also like to have a flashlight that uses rechargeable batteries and/or can be operated with conventional batteries.
- Waterproof and shockproof: the higher the protection rating, the better, to keep water and dust from getting inside the LED lamp. A housing made of impact-resistant plastic or hard-anodized metal prevents damage from impact, and protects from corrosion and premature wear.
In addition to these essential features, outdoor flashlights and headlamps have useful extra functions. Ledlenser outdoor LED flashlights, designed in Germany, offer all this and more.
