Search & Rescue Flashlight Requirements

SAR flashlights demand maximum reach. Look for 300m+ beam distance, 40,000+ candela, and sustained high-mode runtime of 2+ hours. Waterproofing (IP68) is essential for field conditions. Larger head diameters generally produce tighter, farther-reaching beams. Our throw score — which drives this category — weights candela (45%), beam distance (30%), runtime (15%), and durability (10%).
