Why choose rechargeable batteries over one-time use ?

I honestly don't know about the lumen ratings man. But the first ₹500 one was decent enough for my use. Only wish the range was longer and it has three levels of brightness.

You mean you want a longer throw.

How far would you say it reaches presently? Light should be 10% of what it is. That's how they measure it.

and how much further do you want it

The battery also doesn't last long.

That's why you need lithiums

No idea about the Shadowhawk walla. The video reviews seem to be favorable. The design of the two torches really look alike and the functionality too so I thought they both might be rebrands. But the Shadowhawk one costs 3x so I thought it would be much better than the Flipkart one.

Why don't you look for a proper torch?

If ₹2000 is cheap then I don't know what to say haha
Is there really no other choice? The product you linked costs 5k man w t f.

Longer range the better obviously. Some of these torches claim a range of over 1000m which is ridiculous but pleasing to hear nevertheless.
I don't care much about the size if it excels in battery life. The one which I'm using is 18" long and 4" wide.
The one you linked doesn't seem bad but the price is insane for such a small torch.
Basically I want a torch which can last me a few hours at max brightness but need to be rechargeable, with either the inbuilt stock battery or AA battery or both. I just want to make use of the AA rechargeable battery. Sounds good to have both kinds of battery for extra life.
If not I can just buy a similar one like the one available on Flipkart.

But many ppl often got those AA/AAA 10 cell pack for 49/99 rupees in flash deals which for a typical person is more than enough to last a year or two.

In my case it exhausts too soon so i prefer rc batteries. I do have handy 3-4 AA/AAA batteries for those just in case scenarios.
