Handheld searchlights and workshop lamps are designed to provide a high-powered source of light. However, they are slightly larger than the flashlights or headlamps we are all used to. This makes their use somewhat more specific. The vast majority of these lights today are LED flashlights with CREE chips. Nowadays, it is rare to find handheld flashlights with those good-old-days replaceable batteries—built-in rechargeable batteries that can be easily charged via a USB connector have become the standard.
Searchlights and workshop lamps are used in situations where high luminous flux is required and extreme mobility is not the main concern. This makes them the perfect companions for night search and rescue operations in the wild, in the workshop, or for those tricky trips to the basement of your cabin.
