Problem finding flashlights for camping... (lemmy.world)

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).

I personally use a bike light strapped to a 2 gallon jug of water.

I'm more of an ultralight camper. The white cap off a lip balm usually goes pretty smooth on to most little 10440 lights - but same idea!
