Handheld Flashlights

We carry a large assortment of flashlights in different sizes, from keychain lights and penlights to UV flashlights or rugged outdoor flashlights with hundreds of lumens of output. Find the perfect flashlight for work projects, power outages, camping, and more.

What are the different types of handheld flashlights?

The main varieties of flashlights we carry include:

Outdoor flashlights: these flashlights feature rubberized or plastic outer casings and durable bodies and are often waterproof and impact resistant for allweather use. 

Pen lights: these are small flashlights that usually have clips so they can be worn on a belt. Tactical flashlights: typically larger than pen lights, these are usually ruggedized and have steel bodies.

Rechargeable flashlights: these can be plugged into an outlet indoors and provide enough light for navigating your house at night or if there is a power outage. Keychain flashlights: these are pocketsized lights with keychain rings, so they're always with you when you need them.

How to find the brightest flashlight?

Check the lumen rating of the flashlight you're looking for, and also whether it can focus or disperse light for extra distance or greater coverage. Higher lumen ratings correspond to brighter flashlights.

Are LED flashlights the brightest flashlight type?

LED flashlights are often the brightest models available because LEDs are efficient, powerful, and multiple LED bulbs can fit into flashlight cases for greater brightness.

What's the best flashlight to bring on a camping trip?

For camping trips, it's a good idea to have a camping flashlight that uses replaceable batteries and has multiple brightness settings. Impact and weather resistance are also important so you can use your flashlight in bad weather.
