*There is no standard definition of a “flashlight”, however for the purpose of this list it will be an artificial light source that:
- contains a battery or power system that does not require it to be tethered by a cable (no mains, vehicle, or generator power)
- is portable and can be carried in a single hand (no wheels, stands, or heavy external batteries)
- has a runtime of at least several minutes at max without running out of power or overheating (no ‘flash’ bulbs)
There current list is:

Lights below 2Mcd have been omitted from the graphs, but are still included in the list, however they are no longer updated due to the large amount of flashlights in that area these days. Anything 2Mcd and above is complete, however.
Please keep in mind that certain lights have only been measured at close distances (less than 100 feet) or with budget lux meters and may have inaccurate numbers.
This list is constantly growing, so if there is a light that you think should be on here please leave a comment and a link to the source!
Thanks to The_Driver for helping me compile this list 
.
well yeah, it’s definitely hard to comprehend just how powerful those flashlights are xD crazy stuff
