Brightest Streamlight Hand Held Rechargeable Flashlight

The Ultrastinger® LED is the brightest handheld Streamlight flashlight.

...in terms of both lumens and candela—but at about a foot long, it might not be the most convenient tool to carry around. Here’s a list of Streamlight's brightest standard handheld flashlights:

"Brightest" is really a subjective term. What kind of bright? The best answer depends on the kind of flashlight you’re looking for. A Streamlight flashlight to mount on a weapon? For search and rescue? To fight fires? Or just something reliable and handheld? The easiest way to think about it is in terms of lumens and candela:

Lumens: the total output of the bulb (focus not considered).

Candela: the measure of the brightest spot in a focused beam.

If you’re looking to illuminate a large room or field, you’ll want to favor lumens (ProTac HL 3 or Ultrastinger). If you want an extremely bright focused beam, favor candela (Ultrastinger, Stinger HPL, or DS HPL).
