But before we get to our AA flashlight reviews, here’s some of the features you need to know about when shopping for an AA flashlight.
Brightness - Brightness is measured in lumens. A lumen is how much light is emitted by a source. The flashlights we reviewed range from 130 - 1075 lumens at their brightest, though they all have various settings that are significantly dimmer.
Lightsource - All of the products in our AA flashlight reviews use versions of LED lights. LED stands for light-emitting diode and they’re typically paired with a reflector and a cover or lens when they’re used in flashlights.
Batteries - All of these flashlights use AA batteries. Obviously. Where they differ is in how many AA batteries they use. This varies from 1 all the way up to 9. Generally, the more it uses, the brighter and more powerful the flashlight is.
Tactical - A tactical flashlight is one that can be used with a firearm to help get more accurate aim in low light. They tend to be small and lightweight and they’re perfect for everyday use because they’re also powerful.
Waterproof - For our reviews, we rated something waterproof if it could actually be submersed for a short period of time. Some of the others are water resistant, though, and will be all right in rain and some splashes.
Count - While some of our top products come as one unit, there are some that come in packs of 5. Multipacks are perfect for gifts or just to make sure you always have one ready when you need it.
Whether you’re an outdoorsman, a police officer, or if you just want to be prepared in case the power goes out in your home, having the right AA flashlight is essential.
