A tactical flashlight needs to be reliable under pressure. Key factors include high candela for blinding output, long runtime on high mode, impact resistance rating (1m+), and waterproofing (IPX8 minimum). Most tactical lights use 18650 or 21700 cells for sustained power, and feature tail-switch activation for one-handed momentary-on. Our tactical score weights candela (30%), runtime (20%), durability (20%), throw distance (20%), and price (10%).
