LANTERN FLASHLIGHTS MARKET SEGMENTATION

BY TYPE

Based on Type, the global market can be categorized into Up to 300 Lumens, 300-499 Lumens, 500-999 Lumens & 1000+ Lumens

• Up to 300 Lumens: Lantern flashlights in this range are small and portable, and if used should be sufficient to provide light for localized, smaller work or locations. They are mostly employed for normal camping as well as for emergency or home standby lighting. Because of these aspects, such models consume low power, hence providing extended battery backup.
• 300-499 Lumens: This top range gives a medium level of brightness that is ideal for big rooms or could be used outdoors as they are easy to carry but contain a lot of energy. These lanterns are used for camping at night, hiking at night, and especially in cases of emergencies; they provide stronger light without using a lot of battery energy. Most models in this range have controls for brightness so that energy can be saved when required.
• 500-999 Lumens:  Some of the lanterns in this category are strong and for lighting up bigger spaces since they are perfect for group camping or when more light is required in an emergency. These are a tad heavier than ES bulbs in terms of physical size but are preferred where high illumination is required, such as in industrial applications or in use areas where lighting might be needed beyond darkish night periods. Sometimes they have more settings, such as the brightness settings and built-in USB charging, and they are made weather-resistant.
• 1000+ Lumens: Lantern flashlights are above 1000 lumens, and they are ideal for intense professional or outdoor users requiring extreme light power. These lanterns are deployed in search and rescue, large assemblies, and industrial or physical task-oriented situations. 

BY APPLICATION

Based on Application, the global market can be categorized into Home Use, Industrial Use & Military Use

• Home Use: Home-type lantern flashlights allow people to have a source of light during power failures, disasters, or just for recreational uses such as barbeques. They degrade simplicity, portability, and low-energy usage; many of them include the rechargeable or battery-operated type. Most home-use lanterns are also equipped with other options, such as brightness control as well as water resistance. 
• Industrial Use: Industrial lantern flashlights are highly strong and very reliable lighting solutions for use in construction sites, warehouses, and maintenance, among others. These lanterns have better designs, more luminous output, and facilities over complicated conditions like water and impact resistance. Most complex versions come equipped with rechargeable batteries and multifunctional illumination to optimize functionality. 
• Military Use: Military lantern flashlights are designed to be extremely rugged, bright, and have tactical purposes. They have heavy-duty construction, normally being weather-resistant, and are built to last for a very long time, usually on batteries. Other features, such as infrared modes, strobe lighting, and mount readiness, make them useful for field use and during emergency incidents.
