Why is this a good offer? 💰

You can get each of these flashlights for just $6. That’s a damn good deal, especially considering the incredible number of five-star reviews – nearly 62,000. You won’t find a flashlight with more reviews on Amazon or a better price online. The price also includes two protective cases.

Why do I need this? 🤔

During storm season, it’s always a good idea to have a spare flashlight on hand. But that’s not the only reason to have one of these: They’re small—barely over 6 inches long and just over 1.5 inches in diameter—so they can fit in your pocket or purse. You can carry one in your car, backpack, or emergency kit—they go anywhere. They run on AAA batteries, so you don’t have to worry about charging them.

Made from military-grade aluminum, these little lights are really tough, withstanding 10-foot drops and water exposure. There are five different lighting modes. You can “zoom in” and focus the light on a single spot, or shine the flashlight over a larger area to illuminate as much as possible. The power button is located on the bottom, making it easy to activate with one hand.

What reviewers say 💬

We said this is the most reviewed flashlight on Amazon, and we mean it. It has nearly 62,000 five-star reviews, so a lot of people have a lot of good things to say.

Per 👍

Fans said the beam was easily adjustable and bright enough. One fan said, “I was hoping to find something similar in size and features and thought I’d give these a try. What a great choice. The light is bright, the beam focus is easy to change with one hand and the size is just right, not too big or too small. I like them so much I’m going to buy more of them.”

Another homeowner said these lights came in very handy when bad weather hit. “These are great little flashlights. They’re sturdy, just the right size, and most importantly, they’re very bright. Our area was hit by an ice storm in February that caused a lengthy power outage. I’m glad I had my GearLight. One night we decided to play a game, and I put the flashlight on the tip and pointed it at the ceiling. That way there was enough light for everyone to see.”

“I take it camping, have one on my nightstand for emergencies, and even have one at work,” said one Multitasking user. “The flashlight is small, bright, durable, and has an adjustable beam.”

Disadvantages 👎

One user said the wrist strap was a bit tight. “The only complaint I had was that the wrist strap seemed a bit small as I couldn’t get it around my hand but my wife could. Other than that, switching between modes takes a bit of getting used to but we just used the normal setting at full brightness.”

Another fan shared that only one lighting mode is really needed, but the others are nice to have. “The only downside is the bluish cast of the light due to the use of LED technology. Of the five modes, only the constant light mode is useful in most cases, but it (doesn’t hurt) to have the other modes available.”

Be prepared for storm season, camping season, or actually any other time of year – these flashlights are small enough to not take up space in your kitchen drawer.
