In addition to lumens, another couple of factors to consider when buying a torch are beam angle and color saturation. If you're going for a spotlight, the smaller the beam angle, the more focused the spot will be. With a flood, the wider the angle, the more area your flood will effectively cover. The color saturation is more important for photography/videography. The closer to "natural" light the torch produces, the better your subjects will look in the photo/video. For example, natural daylight has a score of color score of 100. Getting a light with a score of 90 will get you pretty close to that natural light.

Sound advice Jonny Bravo :)

Great info!

[@aymenem5304]

Jonny Bravo whT the best one any recommendations ?

[@area51r]

my advice, get the most lumens that you can afford. i personally have a 'big blue 15,000tl' it is super bright 15,000 lumens and yet sometimes i wish i had even more power. you want as many lumens as you can get.

[@JS-el5qz]

I’m happy with just 300 lumens

[@MrMatzetier]

Lux or lumen?

#askMark Hey Shaun and Mark (in this order, you could be abreviated as „Shark“). Thanks for all your great videos.
What primary dive torch do you use when diving in murky UK waters?
I‘ve got a Sola dive 2000/600, quite a decent light and I‘m pretty happy. But now I‘m loocking for something a bit more powerfull for murky lakes. (Handheld, goodman handle, no #FlappySnagHazard). What do you think of the ne Halcyon Flare Exp for example?
Or what would you recommend (lumen, lux, angle etc).
Thanks!

The brighter the better right? Can't have too much light can ya?

The difference is what your trying to do with the light filming nightdiving spearshing each category has its own need filming need big bright lights that will light up everything and illuminate the seafloor.
night diving needs 1000 1500 lumens high lights tend to spook and alert some fish even as low as 800 lumens so this is why for fishing you need a light that will let you see cleary but also be focused and straight and not to bright this can spook fish 500 lumens is plenty the aim is to not be seen or felt until its to late the little lights are better for stalking the fish

In my country, it’s illegal to use a light while using a speargun. Regardless of what that torch or flashlight is attached to.
