Nextorch has released a specialized, ultra-bright flashlight, the Saint Torch 30C Searchlight. This 15,000-lumen behemoth is intended for low-light search-and-rescue operations, but also scene safety, exploring caves, spending time in the outdoors or any other scenario in which an extremely bright light with a long battery runtime could be useful.

Nextorch manufactures the Saint Torch 30C from 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminum. and the flashlight puts out an extremely bright 15,000-lumen beam via three high-output LEDs and a large battery pack. This torch can throw a beam up to 563 yards away and its battery pack consists of three 4,800 mAh Li-ion cells that can provide up to 52 hours of run time in economy mode. The battery pack also works as a high-capacity power bank that can be used to recharge electronic devices up to four times on a single charge via a standard USB cable. In addition, the unit includes a visual LED power battery level indicator light in order to gauge the battery’s charge level at a glance.

Because the Saint Torch 30C emits such a powerful light beam, it was designed with a self-regulating output adjustment system. This system regulates the Saint Torch’s light output in case the device itself heats up to uncomfortable or dangerous levels, allowing the light to operate at a safe level to prevent any accidents, injuries or to reduce glare.
