    I’m always surprised I these conversations that almost no one mentions always having a useful, generally charged, decent close range flashlight.

    I’m old enough to ha e experienced that having a zippo was the most reliable way to see close range stuff. Flashlights were basically dead battery containers.

      I carry with me a small rechargeable flashlight everywhere and use it almost every day. I do not think I could have spent that money better.

      It has a low light mode so I can see at night in the bedroom without waking up my partner and it’s really powerful at the same time. It even has a magnet and baseball cap clip so the hands can be free to do other stuff.

      Having a flashlight in the phone is really nice, but I don’t think I will use it again.

          The clip is designed to hold the cap quite firmly. It’s very handy, but not as good as actual headlamp

          It’s an Olight Baton 3, you can look up better pictures on the internet if you want
