How do you choose which lights/lumens are best for your needs?

Navigating the extensive range of lights might seem overwhelming initially, but a few straightforward questions can help you pinpoint the perfect fit. Firstly, consider the division that aligns with your intended activity: Outdoor, Dive, Industrial, or Tactical. Next, determine the type of lighting you require—hands-free with a headlamp, hands-on via a flashlight, area illumination with a lantern, or "be seen" functionality with a marker/strobe. If you need specialized mounting options like helmet-mounted or bike-mounted lights, explore the Tactical, Industrial, or Accessories categories accordingly. Reflect on the nature of your activities; for fast-paced or varied terrain endeavors, opt for higher lumen lights (200+ lumens). For less dynamic activities in simpler terrains, high-lumen lights with a low flood setting or dimmability or those under 200 lumens may suffice. Lastly, consider your fuel needs, whether it's standard alkaline batteries for convenience, rechargeable options for eco-friendliness and regular power access, or lithium batteries for extreme temperature resilience during prolonged outdoor ventures.
