In this guide, I’ll help you choose the best flashlight for your needs by sharing the results (pros and cons) of my hands-on testing to help you make an informed purchase. No matter the purpose, whether it’s for a bedside table, utility drawer, emergency kit, or workshop, a reliable flashlight is a must-have.

While brightness is crucial, I also considered other aspects such as ease of operation, weight, battery type, and more. That’s why I took a hands-on approach and put several models to the test. With so many flashlights on the market, finding one that lives up to the hype can be challenging. Today’s flashlights are brighter, more dependable, compact, and lightweight. They’re also essential for illuminating certain tasks, such as automotive work or fixing a leaky pipe under the sink. Battery-operated and portable, these handheld lights are crucial during power outages and helpful for late-night security checks. Flashlights have come a long way since they were first introduced in 1898.
