What Torch should you have in your car & how many lumens should it have?

It’s the middle of the night, you’re driving on a deserted road and suddenly your car breaks down. You’re stuck on the side of the road in complete darkness! 

What about if you’re in a dark underground parking and you need to change your tyre in order to get home? Or you need to get somewhere in a hurry, but you’ve dropped your keys underneath your car seat?

These things happen, no matter how much you think it won’t happen to you. You’re bound to one day have to change your tyre in the dark or have to search for your keys under the seat when you can’t see a thing. Don’t get stuck clumsily looking around in the darkness, you need to always have a torch on hand as well as in your car with the right amount of lumens!

A torch is a vital item that you need in your emergency kit, actually it might be the most important when it comes to signalling for help as well as spotting things in the dark.

But what torch should you have in your car and how many lumens should it have?

Lumens. There is no point in having a torch in your car that is so dim that it is practically useless. You need a torch that has the right amount of lumens so that you’re no left in the dark in an emergency situation. Make sure that your torch that you’re keeping in your car has at least 250 lumens. Looking for a torch for your car? Klarus light has a wide range to choose from, all with at least 250 lumens. Order today from www.klaruslight.co.za

Size. The right torch for your car needs to be conveniently sized so that it is small enough to keep in the glovebox or your emergency kit as well as lightweight to hold onto. 

Battery. All batteries eventually run flat, especially if you do not use them often. When it comes to an emergency situation in your car, you have no idea when or if it will ever happen, that Is why it is so important to keep your torch in your car fully charged at all times as well as keep  a spare set of batteries alongside it.

Durable. Having a cheap, flimsy torch in your car is not smart, you never know if you’ll ever be in a car accident, a flashlight that you bought at the Dollar store won’t hold up on impact, plus it might not even survive a few years sitting in your emergency kit or glovebox. Make sure your car torch is of high quality otherwise it is useless in your time of need.
