Titanium Flashlight: The Most Beneficial Buying Guide

When most people hear “titanium”, they think it’s some fictional metal alloy out of the Marvel universe. No, that’s actually adamantium and it’s what Wolverine’s skeleton and claws are made of. Titanium, on the other hand, is very real.

Titanium (Ti) is an element with an atomic number of 22 and an atomic weight of 47.867u. It was discovered in 1790 and it was named after the Titans from ancient Greek mythology. However, its industrial production began around 1946. It has a high corrosion resistance, it is lightweight and very strong. In fact, it has the highest strength to density ratio of all the metallic elements. This is why Titanium has a wide range of applications in the Aerospace market, in medical devices, architecture, sport, and all sorts of everyday products including titanium flashlights.

The materials used to make the body of the flashlight are very important since they affect not only its weight and aesthetics, but also some other properties like heat dissipation, corrosion resistance, durability, and more. Titanium flashlights have many advantages over other types. Though titanium is heavier than aluminum, it is not as heavy as steel and it gives a certain heft to the flashlight but not as much to weigh you down as steel flashlight. Scratches are barely noticeable on titanium and it will resist compression far more than aluminum. Also, it is highly resistant to corrosion even if you use your titanium flashlight in salt water or other corrosive environments.

There are many different titanium flashlights on the market and they come in a wide range of sizes and specifications. Here is a list of my top 3 picks.

Weighing at 42g (without a battery) and a light output up to 480 Lumens, the S1 Baton Titanium(S1-Ti) is actually the limited premium material edition of the top-selling S1 Baton Torch. The S1-Ti has all the same features as the popular S1 Baton, but with a titanium alloy body that is available in polished and frosted finishes. It comes with a number of accessories and a 5-year manufacturers warranty.

The M11R Sirius is made from high-grade titanium alloy and features a CREE XM-L U3 LED, a magnetic control ring, and it is one of the smallest CR123A torches on the market. Also, it comes in a metal box which makes it the perfect gift, either for yourself or for someone else.
