When the first-ever flashlight was introduced to the world in 1899, it was big, bulky, and not very bright. Oh, what a difference 125 years make. Amazon has a small but mighty flashlight on sale for under $20 that can illuminate objects from almost 11 football fields away.

The Esgofo Rechargeable Flashlight normally retails for $30. However, for a limited time, you can get your hands on one for only $18, thanks to a 40% discount.

Whether you’re in the market for a flashlight to bring along on a camping trip or simply want to make sure you have one in your home in preparation for the next power outage, this compact flashlight checks all the right boxes. Constructed from aluminum alloy, it’s both shockproof and waterproof, making it highly durable in even the worst of conditions. It’s also equipped with a long-lasting rechargeable battery that can provide up to 15 hours of light. It even features USB ports that enable you to convert it into a power bank for smartphones, laptops, and other electronic devices in emergencies.

Still, the best part about this flashlight is definitely its intense brightness. It boasts a powerful LED chip and five distinct lighting modes — high, middle, low, strobe, and SOS — that help it guide the way. You can use it to create a wide beam that lights up an entire room or a narrow beam that focuses on a specific object from hundreds of yards away, depending on your needs.

“Best flashlight I have ever owned,” one reviewer wrote. “It’s super bright and lights up my whole backyard.”

“I couldn’t be more impressed!” another shopper added. “The brightness is outstanding, cutting through the darkest conditions effortlessly.”
