What lightweight, practical flashlights would people recommend?
I want something that I could use while camping, dog walking, and general day-to-day tasks (finding something under the bed for example). Currently I use my phone torch, which isn’t particularly practical. My previous (battery powered) torches have died after too short a space of time - I want something that will last.
One with a clip would be handy, so I could attach it to a cap.
I see lots of ones online with insane lumens. 1000 lumens seems like overkill for my purposes!
Not too worried about price (within reason!)
I have quite a few of the small Olights, the Baton 3 is the current model. I know you said 1000 lumens would be overkill but the memory settings for the brightness and the way you switch through the brightness is very easy to use. It has several brightness modes: .5 12 60 300 And 1200 for the turbo mode So you only need to use as much light as you need. Plus having a little bit more horsepower is nice in certain situations lol
Ahh yes I did see that one in your other post. Fair point about having the extra power!
Does that brand come with it’s own proprietary magnetic charger? Do they seem to work ok in that respect and hold charge for a long enough time?
Yea they come with their own charger cable. It is proprietary but I find it’s a good system. I find they last a while especially if you’re using the lower settings
How long do you reckon the flashlight itself will last? I assume there’s no way to replace the battery on those?
