Did you ever get your flashlight and find that the batteries are out, the bulb is burnt out, or the switch just does not work right? That situation can be dangerous in an emergency or disaster! A good flashlight needs to be part of every emergency or disaster kit in every home. We generally recommend the LED flashlights for optimal power life and essentially forever bulb life. However, in some situations, the incandescent lights work better. Some of our flashlights include the ones preferred by firefighters and search and rescue personnel.
