Depends what you mean by handheld. My definition is something you can then stick in your pocket…. I have this one - it’s decent at 15000 lumens and takes rechargeable 18650s. Not the cheapest at £300 but if you want a decent torch you’ve got to knock the cobwebs off your pockets.

How bright do you need? I have one of these for mountain biking at night and bring it with us in the van too. It has different brightness settings - I find 1500 lumens too bright for most uses except mountain biking through forests in pitch dark.

Blackburn Dayblazer 1500 light review - MBR
With its machined aluminium construction, the Blackburn Dayblazer 1500 is one of the lightest standalone lights we've tested recently.

I've bought a few torches from here https://convoy.aliexpress.com/store/330416?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_allProduct.pcShopHead_12391894.0
It's been going for 10 years and has good reviews on flashlight forums.

Olight are a good brand from what I gather so you should get a quality product. Price seems pretty good and 7k lumens is more than decent. With the various power modes I rarely crank mine up to 15k - the feature I particularly like on mine is being able to switch from spot to flood. I use mine for photography - not so much getting to a location as I use a head torch for that but for lighting painting buildings and things in the dark, which it does well.

"Flashlight Forums" ??? I guess there is a forum for most things then? And I thought this was a little niche. Everyday is a school day

Hi I went for the Olight Warrior 2 - excellent power and I wanted something small enough to put in my pocket.
