No hike or fishing will not do without lighting. It seems to be easy to come to the store, choose a lantern, buy batteries and go camping. But it was not so. At one time, your beacon may fall and stop working, or the battery charge will simply end. Therefore, you should take this issue more seriously.
Choosing a marching LED flashlight
For more than a decade, an indispensable friend of tourists and travelers is a marching LED flashlight. He had long ago replaced his advantages with lamps and became a faithful companion on the journey. So, when choosing a LED flashlight, pay attention to the following abilities:
- Focusing of light . Hiking lights in this have a significant difference. There are scattered light, and also with a spotlight. Point you will be useful in order to find lost things in the grass, etc. Hiking LED lights with diffused lighting are much more practical.
- Brightness . High brightness will allow you to lighten your path by about 500-1000 m. But if you need to consider something near, then too bright light will blind you. Therefore, it is better to choose the optimal level.
- Power and charging . Hiking LED lights that run on batteries are not inferior to battery lights. If you run out of battery, you'll have to look for a way to charge it, but in the depths of the forest you hardly have the opportunity. Purchase a set of spare batteries immediately. In any case, with the proper use of a traveling lamp, the charge will last you for a few days.
- Power . Powerful field light can last you for several days without recharging or changing batteries. Of course, you will want to choose the maximum operating time. Remember, the higher the power, the more expensive the lamp will cost. If you go on a hike for a week, then you have to spend. But there is no point in buying a high-powered flashlight for a hike that lasts two days.
- Additional characteristics . After you have decided what to do,
which LED lamp is better, pay attention to what it is made of. A high-quality metal "firefly" will be your companion for many years. It must be resistant to falls and shocks, as well as to high humidity. - Accessories . Agree, because to light a fire or to put a tent is completely inconvenient, if you have a flashlight in your hands all the time. Buy a set of carrying case and cord, which is worn on the hand. Also you can find on sale special bracelets, belts for a head, installation for a bicycle. Perhaps you will be able to find helmets, in which already built-in lights. But they are quite expensive and not always convenient to use.
