Traditional flashlights use an incandescent bulb that produces a lot of heat when it is illuminated. This heat is wasted energy and causes an unnecessary drain on the batteries. Not only this, but the heat eventually causes the bulb to burn out and need replacing.

LED flashlights use Light Emitting Diodes to prduce the light. They waste much less energy on heat production and are extremely durable. This makes LEDs perfect for flashlights as battery life is one of the most important factors.

At lower power levels LEDs have a significant power advantage over traditional bulbs, however this advantage does diminish at higher levels of output as LEDs begin to produce more heat.

For a flashlight to be useful it needs to reliably workevery time. This means it needs power and a functioning bulb. These are both key characteristics of LED flashlights.
