The piddly light on my phone is no match for a real flashlight, though.

    I mean idk, mine gets pretty fucking bright. So much so that I keep it on the lowest of like 4 or 5 settings by default. What are you having to illuminate regularly? I guess I might be biased as I like the dark and don't even really turn on lights if I'm home alone, but seriously why do you need a crazy bright flashlight all the time? I think they're cool but I actually can't think of a single use case where my phone wouldn't be good enough, outside of like actual camping or night hiking or something.

    Not who you're replying to, but I carry a good flashlight for use when it's light, not when it's dark.

    Dropping something small on the carpet or a floor in a lit room can still be super hard to find, but take a bright beam and shine it sideways and you'll catch the shadow immediately (just an example)

    It's crazy how much I use it. Super underrated tool.
