When choosing a flashlight whether it's one for just around the house to explore those dark spaces under furniture or under the refridgerator where some loose change has rolled or in more important emergencies such as during a storm when power outages abound or to use in your job, like those mentioned above, law enforcement, firefighter or vehicle technician, certain criteria need to be considered.
You need to determine how strong the illumination should be for the job, from here whether halogen or xenon gas filled bulbs will do the job or do you need light emitting diodes or a combination of the two. The use of the intended light will have a strong bearing on your choice. Will it be subject to severe impacts, exposed to explosive gases such as gasoline fumes, used mainly at night or under workshop conditions. Do you want a safety rated flashlight with no danger of setting off an explosion. The housing encasing the light is another consideration, plastic or metal. Finally should it be batteries or a rechargeable. These as well provide several options to choose from such as nickel cadmium and long shelf life lithium. Even the chargers allow you to make a choice.
