I have to work, but the family is going camping without me. Wife asks which flashlight she can borrow to take with her and the kids.

I’m rocked to the core. Visions of Obi Wan just casually handing Luke a lightsaber to swing around in his house.

My flashlights only range between “hotter and brighter than the sun” to “wouldn’t be out of place on a police helicopter”.

Nothing in this range is remotely qualified for use by wife and kids, much less dealing with the batteries that power them.

The only solution is buy more flashlights. Maybe something that also uses AA batteries (le barf).

    If you want to avoid the AA batteries, you could spend a little more and get the Sofirn SP40. I’ve got one which I rely on pretty heavily and it has served me well this far.
