Olight Flashlights: Unbeatable Performance & Indestructible Build
Most commonly referred to as a military torch, a tactical flashlight is a torch being used together with a firearm to identify and locate threats at night. But not every tactical flashlight is made to be used with a firearm. The more civilian-friendly models look like rechargeable LED torches but come with a lot more features that help ensure safety and reliability. The use of tactical LED torches by non-military personnel is mostly for exploration in the wild.
Tactical flashlights are also used bu law-enforcement and search & rescue teams. The bright light of military torches, reliable operation and build, can handle a lot of hours and stress without sacrificing performance. Tactical torches last longer, operate at a higher level and are more efficient than your regular pocket torch. For many flashlight fanatics, the brand that offers the best tactical torches is Olight. Here are some of their top-notch products that you can buy.

How Many Lumens for Tactical Flashlight?
For a torch to be classified as a tactical LED flashlight it needs to have a minimum output of 250 lumens. If its light output is lower than that then no matter the type of features it has, it won’t be classified as tactical.
How Many Lumens Will Temporarily Blind Someone?
While a tactical flashlight will have at least 250 lm at disposal, the number of lumens needed to effectively blind someone is 300. This is only temporary and it doesn’t cause any permanent injury, it will just disorient the attacker.
Can I Bring a Tactical Flashlight on a Plane?
Tactical flashlights can be used as a form of weapon, however, they are not necessarily checked when travelling by plane. If your torch is longer than 17 cm when assembled fully, chances are it will be checked. If your torch is less than 17 cm long when fully assembled then it’s usually allowed in your carry-on luggage.
