The descriptions below are a digest of each of the products covered on this website. Each product has its own dedicated page.

RavPower Portable Power Station 252.7 Wh - This was a Christmas gift and it's nice having all of that extra power on standby. It does have a light on the back side that is fairly bright and I'm sure it would run for days. You can never have too much light on hand. That being said, I think the Anker equivalent to this product would be a better choice. There are ports, buttons, lights, and plugins on all sides of this device and it's not very intuitive. The Anker equivalent seems to have everything on one side which seems to make a lot more sense to me. Just my two cents.

Anker PowerCore 5000 Portable Charger - Obviously this is not a flashlight but it is instrumental in allowing some of my flashlights to run for extended periods of time. (NOTE: not all flashlights will allow charging and use at the same time.) - Also it keeps an emergency backup of power for my cellphone which has a light and these fit nicely in an EDC bag.

Power Bank RAVPower 16750mAh Charger. Obviously this is not a flashlight but the fire fly light it comes with is an adequate night light that will literally run for days, and so that's the qualifier. It is also instrumental in allowing some of my flashlights to run for extended periods of time. (NOTE: not all flashlights will allow charging and use at the same time.)

OLIGHT FB-1 Universal Flashlight Bike Mount. It's not just enough to have lighting. Sometimes a custom mount is useful. I have an Aventon Aventure e-Bike I hope this will prove it's value down the road.

Streamlight 61125 ClipMate 70-Lumen USB Rechargeable - I actually have no opinion about this light other than it's unique. I love the simple form factor, is has a clip, and two brightness modes in both white and red. It is USB Type-A rechargeable. I guess I like the unusual look and the goose neck articulation. I carry in my EDC bag but really haven't had a real work use case yet.

SmartFlare SwivelClip Mini LED Light Clip-On. Strange thing about this little guy. I don't feel like it's one of my top 3 lights yet I have purchased about 10 of these units. The price is easy at about 10 bucks a copy. It's USB Type-A rechargeable. With the clip, magnet, articulation, and the three modes, it's actually an unbeatable light for the price point. Definitely worth owning one.

LED Small Flashlight. Somethings can't be unseen. This thing can be unbought. My least favorite light. Like in the picture below, I mounted two of these to a ball cap. They work great.....for about 5 minutes. Crappy battery life, Micro-USB for a long charging time. Better than nothing but I would find a better product. I'll probably try a Sofirn solution.

The Dream Master LED Work Light is one of my top 3 favorites. We all need flashlights. After that, we need to be able to put the light where we need it. This light has that covered. It has more flexibility than a 14 year old Chinese gymnast. I have never seen anything like it. On top of the omni-directional articulation, There are five lighting modes. It also has a clip and magnetic base. Very versatile.

The IODOO 10000mSh 4000LM Lantern is a super robust lantern. 3 brightness modes and plenty of battery to keep the light shining for quite a while or juice for a cellphone recharge. You can set this lantern on a flat surface, hang it with a hook or attach it magnetically. It also comes with a adhesive tab with a magnetic surface for a semi-permanent mount in a closet or on a wall. The switch position on the back is not obvious from the front side of the lantern so I used a drop of nail polish on the light globe to indicate the switch location in the back.

From a practicality stand point I love the LE LED Lantern. Don't be fooled by its small form factor. Sometime big things come in small packages. This has a beam mode, and a couple of lamp modes. Great for local area lighting and it also has a hook and magnet configuration on the bottom. It is USB rechargeable and can be used as a power bank via a USB port as well. There is a type-A port and a type-C port. I'm not sure which is used for what. Still I am very fond of this device.

The Sofirn IF23 has my undivided attention. While this is my first Sofirn product, it will definitely not be my last. Solid interface, Type-C recharging port, two way clip. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this beast has a powerful front beam, a side lamp that seems WAY brighter than what they advertise and and colorful rainbow mode on the side lamp. Beefy battery and this device can be used to charge your cell phone in an emergency. If you can only carry one flashlight, this guy checks a lot of boxes.

The Anker Ultra-Bright Tactical Flashlight is definitely the daddy of the BOLDER LC90. This beefy traditional flashlight features 3 bulbs and delivers a generous amount of light. It uses a micro-USB port for charging. Super solid flashlight, plenty bright, again, just wish it used a Type-C charging port. Definitely lives up to the name of Ultra-Bright.

The Anker BOLDER LC90 is a solid midrange traditional flashlight. It uses a micro-USB port for charging and the lense can be focused. Solid flashlight, plenty bright, just wish it used a Type-C charging port

The Victagen Tactical 1230 is just a solid traditional flashlight. It is Micro USB Rechargeable and can be easily stood on its base while receiving an auxilliary charge to illuminate an area for hours. Of course you can carry it like a regular flashlight and you can focus the beam.

The RovyVon S3 is a portable ball of sunshine. 1800 Lumens in such a small platform is outweighs any negatives it may have (mainly the interface). I like the fact that it is Type-C rechargeable and that it has both a clip and keyring loop for carry. I like this one just for that burst of extremely portable brightness.

I like the extreme brightness of such a small flashlight. At 650 lumens it's suprisingly bright for its size. It is Micro USB rechargeable and has a key ring loop. It should definitely be augmented with a key ring coupler. While the redeeming feature of the small light is the brightness, the interface is a little unwieldy for my taste.

The 1R2 Flashlight is a step up in brightness from the IMINI 10 and the IMINI 2 EDC at 180 lumens. It is USB Type-C rechargeable and is activated by a twisting motion. This is also a must have in your flashlight arsenal. It easily attaches to a key ring, but should be augmented with a key ring coupler so that you can use it without holding the entire set of keys. It should be noted that key ring couplers are also instrumental for other pieces of EDC gear that need to be easily detached for use.

Flashlights like the IMINI 2 EDC are a better option than the IMINI 10. They are also a must have in your flashlight arsenal. They easily attach to a key ring, they’re lightweight and activated by simply pulling the light out of the magnetic receiver. The improvement of this light over the IMINI 10 are the 50 lumens vs. 10 lumens and the fact that this light is USB Type-A rechargeable. This is the far better choice over the IMINI 10.

Flashlights like the IMINI 10 are a must have in your flashlight arsenal. They easily attach to a key ring, they’re lightweight and activated by simply pulling the light out of the magnetic receiver. The drawbacks of this light are the low lumens (10) and the fact that you need a small unwieldy stack of flashlight batteries to replace the dead ones. That being said, this is a handy light to have in hand to pierce the darkness for inserting a door key or finding a larger flashlight.
