I have learned a lesson in life — it’s smart to have something before the need arises for it. I never knew I’d need a flashlight until the day I wanted to go camping. I ended up using my phone’s flashlight, and it was regrettably uncomfortable. After this incident, I knew I had to get a quality flashlight.

So, I began to search online and order some that seemed appealing to me. Right now, I have a bunch of flashlights at home, but I only truly use one — my favorite. However, I have other very good flashlights in the mix that I’m sure anyone will love. So, if you’ve been combing the market for a good flashlight as I did, here are my top 5 flashlights.
