Having a torch in your collection is essential for lighting up dark spaces, but not all are able to perform the job you need.

For those who want to shine a light on an outdoor trail or need to brighten up a large space indoors, standard flashlights sometimes aren't enough. That's why more dedicated, high-power options are available to explore.

At the very least, these picks should be able to create a brighter and more wide-reaching beam. However, many will also offer additional features to assist control, such as a zoomable head and different lighting modes.

Some flashlights will also come in pairs or multipacks, which are ideal for keeping spare or kitting out more than one person.

So, if you require something more powerful than the standard LED torch, explore this list of both functional and affordable options.
