Super bright LED flashlights, more commonly known as torches are by far brighter than the regular incandescent flashlight bulb. Super bright LED flashlights may come in many variations with different numbers of LED bulbs installed. But LED flashlights also vary in brightness depending on a user's need for the flashlight. The brightness of an LED flashlight is measured by Lumens. The LED flashlights commercially available in the marketplace today give out between ten to a hundred lumens of brightness.

But in choosing super bright LED flashlights, one has to consider the lumens output, rather than the number of LED bulbs installed. One LED bulb can be as bright as ten LED bulbs.
