A large and heavy flashlight are more difficult to carry for long hours so, choose a small and lighter flashlight if you will hold it for a long time. A heavy and large flashlight also has an advantage as they tend to have more battery capacity for a longer run time. But for brightness, durability and beam distance the small and heavy flashlight torch are mostly the same, as most portable flashlight torch now improves and offer great features just like a heavy and big flashlight torch.

For extra protection you need to have a flashlight torch that has both impact and water resistant. Torch that has this resistant are most likely durable and last longer than a torch who hasn’t.
