A bit strange, but I get a certain nostalgia from flashlights. They reminds me of Boy Scout campouts, helping my dad fix a flat tire, and night fishing with my uncle. Growing up, I’d always have a flashlight next to my nightstand. Why? I have no idea—my suburban home had power. Call it a sense of comfort.
Nowadays, I have a flashlight on me 24/7 thanks to my iPhone, but it lacks the lux and lumens to be truly utilitarian. Instead, I rely on an EDC-friendly Olight flashlight and, right now, a bunch are on sale for Amazon Prime Day.
Olight flashlights are tactical, yet sleek. Sure, they shine (couldn’t help myself) most when camping or outdoors, but they also easily fit into my everyday city life. The brand’s ArkPro Ultra is a favorite amongst PopMech editors with its unique flat design and excellent battery life. It’s currently 20 percent off saving you $20. The Warrior X flashlight is the best deal of the bunch at 30 percent off saving you $40. It’s a tactical option that’s great for campers and hikers.
Personally, I’ve been carrying around the Baton Ultra since it released in April. It’s small enough to keep in my briefcase and I like the traditional cylindrical shape. Like the ArkPro, it has five brightness levels and a strobe effect for emergencies. It’s a tad bulkier, but I like how hefty it feels in hand. Call it nostalgia.
