Why choose rechargeable batteries over one-time use ?

[blr_p]

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?

Both these torches are cheap junk.

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.

While we are on the topic of battery, is there any good high lumen torch which can utilise it? Rechargeable battery in them would be so good.

I want something like this torch here. My friend has it and the brightness is really good even though the battery lasts only a few hours at full brightness.

Also I'm not sure if it's the same but there's also one Shadowhawk model which I really like but price is out of budget (costs ₹2k)

The devices you mentioned don't need rechargeable battery. You can simply replace them cheaply. Eveready will also do.

I am also in the market for good high lumen torch that is not expensive. Today, I found out that Philips has several models, offering upto 2500 lumens brightness. YouTube reviews indicate that these are good. Some of them offer up to 800 metre range!

This website lists all the Philips models: https://philipsflashlights.in/. This does not look like an official Philips site, don't know if fake. There is a site from middle east that looks exactly like this: https://philipsflashlights.com/. The contact us link points to an address in Kerala, with just one Google review. I mentioned the site here because its easy to see all the flashlight models in this site.

ShadowHawk claims 10000/20000 lumens. But that is most likely fake. This video compares a Philips 1450 lumen model with a ShadowHawk 10000 lumens one, and concludes the Philips one is brighter.
