When it comes to the brightest light available, there is no substitute for a high lumens LED flashlight. But you might have a few questions about the whole ‘lumens’ thing. Much as we use cups, gallons or liters to measure how much of a liquid we might have on hand, we also use a specific type of measurement for light. This measurement is called a lumen. For years we judged what type of light bulb we needed based on its wattage.

If we need a bright light, we grabbed a 100-watt bulb. If we wanted a dimmer light (or wanted to save a few pennies on electricity) we might replace that brighter bulb with a 60-watt bulb instead. Regardless, we thought we measured the brightness of a bulb by its watts. Fast forward to the 21st century and scientists tell us that is just not the way to measure light. Hence, the more commonly used term (these days anyway) of lumen.

What Is A Lumen And Why Should I Care?
