Imagine this: the power has gone out and you are scrambling around your home for candles and lighters. After stubbing your toe on a door jamb, you remember that your phone has a flashlight, of course! However, when you click on the screen, you see that dreaded notification—Low Battery. Now you're in a sticky situation; do you sacrifice what could be your only communication method for a bit of momentary light?
With the KeySmart Nano Torch XL, you don't have to choose! This sleek, super bright flashlight is the size of a pen and fits right in your pocket for when you need it most. Rated at 120 lumens, the Nano Torch XL's LED is not only brighter than competitors, but it also produces a better-quality brightness to help you see more clearly what you are illuminating. The compact nature of this flashlight also lends itself to top-notch build quality. From its sturdy power button which activates the light with a satisfying click, to the stainless-steel pocket clip, this tiny yet mighty light is easy to hold and operate with just one hand. And with a 1m (3.28ft) impact resistance, you don't need to worry about accidental drops.
Arguably the coolest feature of this flashlight is its versatile sliding barrel head, which allows you to narrow or widen the light to fit your needs. Telling spooky stories around the campfire? Widen the beam to a spill to light up your whole face. Hear a noise in the woods that make those spooky stories seem like they could be true? Time to engage spotlight mode and have a look around the brush.
Your flashlight doesn't need to be flashy to get the job done. Check out the KeySmart Nano Torch XL, available now for just $32.99, more than 15% off of list price.
