Flashlights come in handy in all kinds of situations: during power outages caused by the latest winter storm, finding your way back to the tent while camping, or even just walking the dog at night. The Aplos also feels durable and hefty thanks to its metal body, if not as hefty and well-built as the Sofirn. The shell is made of military aluminum alloy, which has good hardness, wear resistance, and drop resistance.

This handheld device is little more than five inches long — that’s less than most iPhones — and weighs less than three ounces, but it packs enough punch to act as a strobe light or even an SOS light, emitting up to 2,000 lumens for up to 16 hours on one charge. They’re also impressed with how long the light can last, saying, “I have been using it for a few days and I still don’t have to charge it. The torch feels really well put together, too - at 50g, it’s light, and the casing feels solidly put together.The zoomable design of the flashlight adjusts the focus as needed, giving you the freedom to choose a spotlight or floodlight for long distances or larger illuminated areas. They are reliable safety devices to prevent any tripping or bumping into things which you can’t see and many have special features to give off a strobe lighting effect if in danger. Compact and Durable】The lightweight and practical torch is easy to carry and can be put into your handbag, backpack or survival kit. The 200 lumen rating seems low in this company but in practice this was still one of the brighter torches we tested, with a headlamp that swivels downward and that runs for some 40 hours when on low.

Comfort is also a big consideration, as many people want these for walking, cycling and more, so we were sure to test these out for how good they are if you plan on using them for more than just a potter around the garage. But, while the torch body itself feels durable in parts - the metal surround around the led feels good - it feels quite cheap in others, especially the plastics immediately around the LED.

The silicone rubber plug that covers the USB-C charge port is good and snug and does not just fall out.
