What is a Handheld Spotlight?
A handheld spotlight is a powerful flashlight and a great tool to keep in your roadside emergency kit in case your car breaks down. The brightness of a handheld spotlight is measured in lumens (lm). A lumen is equal to the light from a lit candle at a distance of 1 foot. The specific brightness of the spotlight depends on the individual product, with options ranging from 500 lumens to over 6,000 lumens. Brighter spotlights make it easier to see nearby objects, but they also have the effect of increasing the visible range of the spotlight, which can be called beam casting. They can also be used for more general use on the job site, or when you're out into nature for camping, hiking, fishing, climbing, or boating. These spotlights usually have a brighter light and wider beam than regular flashlights, illuminating a wide area.
How to Choose a Handheld Spotlight?
And Olight has this series of lights, before making a product selection, please consider the use of spotlights. If you want to take it on a boat, then a waterproof product is best, but if it's being used in the workplace, durability should be a top priority. Browse these top options to find the best handheld spotlight.
1. Energy saving: LED lamps of the same power only consume 10% of incandescent lamps, which are more energy efficient than fluorescent lamps.
2. Long service life: LED bulbs can work for 50,000 hours, which is longer than fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps.
3. Dimmability: The previous dimmers have always been aimed at incandescent lamps, and the lamps are red when dimming; the dimmers of fluorescent lamps are difficult to see, which is the main reason why dimming technology has not been developed for many years ; LED can be dimmed again, the light and dark light are the same color (the color temperature is basically unchanged), which is obviously better than incandescent dimming.
4. Can be switched frequently: LED life is calculated according to the lighting time. Even if it is switched on and off thousands of times per second, it will not affect the life of the LED. For decoration and other occasions, LED lights have absolute advantages.
5. Rich colors: there are positive white light, warm white light, red, green, blue and other colors. Whether it's a small lantern or a neon light next to the living room headlights, they're all bright.
6. Low calorific value: Like spotlights, many 220V incandescent lamps fail in a few days because of heat. Although the calorific value of the 12V halogen spotlight is lower than that of the 220V spotlight, the brightness of the 12V halogen spotlight cannot reach the nominal value due to insufficient transformer power. With LED spotlights, you can work for a long time without a transformer.
