You’re seen/read all the hype regarding so-called “tactical” flashlights. But now you find that there is no such industry standard as a “tactical” light — either military or emergency grade. The truth is that any manufacturer can make a flashlight and call it “tactical,” and many of those produced & sold today are, in fact, impact & water resistant — good products.
And yet, there can be a big difference — reliability, durability, equivalent lumens, battery type, and even cost. Check out the assortment below and decide for yourself.

Also, see additional models available from Amazon.com on the “tactical” flashlight. Unless you’re a Navy Seal, you may not need a full-blown submersible, infrared, UV bacteria eliminating, nite-lite guaranteed flashlight – with self-immolating grenades so as “NTBTA” (not-to-be-taken-alive) detonation inside. You may just be a normal working electrician or plumber laying on the ground beneath someone’s house – working on someone’s water heater – and need to hold the light with your teeth while you work.
