A recent FEMA survey revealed that up to 80% of people rely on their smartphones to serve as their flashlights during power outages. And while this might be a decent solution in the event of a power outage that only lasts for a few minutes, it won’t be ideal if it drags on for hours or even days. Your phone’s battery will eventually die, and then what?
To avoid getting stuck in the dark during your next power outage, make sure to have a reliable flashlight handy. If you don’t currently have one, the Trixhub Rechargeable LED Flashlight is an excellent choice, and it’s on sale right now for 35% off. It usually retails for $20 at Amazon, but for a limited time, you can order one for just $13.
Top SellerConstructed from aluminum alloy to make it drop-, wear-, and water-resistant, this flashlight is durable enough to withstand everything from power outages and camping trips to late-night auto repairs and after-dark dog walks. Despite being only about 6 inches long, it’s also incredibly bright and features five distinct modes — high, medium, low, strobe, and SOS — allowing you to put it to good use in a variety of situations. You can zoom its light in and out, too, to make it as narrow or as wide as you like, depending on your lighting needs.
Additionally, this flashlight has a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 12 hours on its lowest setting. It’s also outfitted with a real-time LCD display to help you keep tabs on how much battery life it has left, which can come in handy if you need to use it during a power outage or on a camping trip, when conserving battery power is essential.
“This is an amazing little flashlight,” one reviewer wrote. “It’s deceptively bright for its size, and its range is extremely impressive. Every car should have one of these in it, just in case something happens at night.”
“As a mechanic, I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on quality flashlights, so for under $20, I wasn’t expecting much from this one,” another reviewer remarked. “Let me tell you. It’s amazing and very bright.”
