Why buy a survival LED flashlight?

If you look at the recent hurricanes that have devastated the United States and you didn’t have a flashlight, I hope you’re paying attention.

When you are warned in advance about the departure, then it is time to pick up your “bag of bugs” as we call them. In that bag, there should be a “survival LED flashlight.” Why a special flashlight you ask? Below I have explained why they are better than the old incandescent type.

  • First, they will last a long time with a normal set of batteries. Compared to the old flashlights, the new survival LED flashlight will last for months compared to just days for the old style.
  • Second, an LED bulb will last at least 50,000 hours because it draws such a small amount of current.
  • Most of the best survival flashlights are made from aircraft aluminum with threaded battery compartments that are mostly waterproof. They can be purchased completely waterproof with rubber O-rings.
  • Many of the newer survival LED flashlights come with T-6 LED bulbs that are super bright and with the new technique of using mirrored glass or highly polished chrome metal to amplify the light output.
  • Another thing that is nice about these LED flashlights is their size. With a small footprint, a bright spot can shine across a soccer field.
  • Many of the latest model LED survival flashlights have three modes of operation; click once for SOS signaling, click twice for strobe effect, and click again to return to normal operation.

In short, you need one of these newer flashlights in your car, your home, and in your survival bag.
