Asevery dadknows, keeping a half-dozen or so flashlights around the house is of paramount importance.
Most of mine are old, cheap, outright dead or a combination of all three.
I call those the decoys, aka the ones the kids have access to.
They’re both on sale forAmazon’s October Prime Day.
The first thing you’ll notice about this flashlight is that it’s shockingly small.
It comfortably fits in a pocket and isn’t much bigger than a nice pen.
But despite its size, it packs a punch.
It has three different brightness prefs (plus a strobe setting) that cover a range of needs.
The brightest setting can compete with my outdoor floodlight if I need to light up the backyard.
I keep cases of AA, AAA and 9-volt batteries on hand at all times.
(Again: dad.)
The other essential flashlight in my life is a basic head lamp fromHoxida.
I use this for times when I need my hands and some light at the same time.
It recharges via USB and can go weeks in between charges if used for only quick little jobs.
