Darkness makes everything harder and more dangerous. A reliable torch lets you navigate terrain, find items in your kit, signal for help, and perform tasks after sunset. In UK winter, darkness comes as early as 3:30pm — a torch isn’t optional, it’s essential.
200–500 lumens is ideal for most uses. Higher for search and rescue.
Look for 8+ hours on medium setting. Rechargeable with USB-C is convenient.
IPX4 minimum for UK rain. IPX7 (submersible) for foul weather.
Always pack spares. Cold weather drains batteries faster than you’d expect.
