So you like traveling, hiking, or camping. Or perhaps you think you're handy with tools around your home? Whatever the case, adequate light is crucial when delving into the dark, especially during emergencies. But while standard flashlights can get the job done, they tend to be bulky, heavily monstrosities, and they might not even be versatile. On the other hand, a tiny everyday carry flashlight like this 8-in-1 Maglight Mini Super Bright Utility Flashlight by WonderCube could offer a lot more utility, and it's available for $17.99.
Don't let this multi-functional mini flashlight's size fool you. Containing powerful LEDs providing a maximum of 800 lumens, WonderCube claims it's 30 times brighter than your phone's flashlight. It can stay lit in the dark for up to 3.5 hours and has four brightness modes, which you can adjust to your needs accordingly. Aside from the illumination, this mini flashlight's size and carabiner top make it highly portable — you can latch it on your keychain or backpack or use it as a hanging light in your workshop.
The mini flashlight also has several tricks up its sleeve. With a built-in kickstand, you can place it on top of any flat surface to alter the angle of your light. Need a quick refreshment as you work in the shadows? Its built-in bottle opener is ready to open your favorite beverage at a moment's notice, making you the favorite family member or friend during summer parties or adventures.
Additionally, the Maglight is water and dust-resistant, so it can serve as a reliable light source in harsh weather. Lastly, it features a long-lasting rechargeable battery — you just need to connect it to a USB-C cable.
The 8-in-1 Maglight Mini Super Bright Utility Flashlight can do so much more than just light up a room. You can purchase one now for only $17.99 or 40 percent off.
