Yes, though I would note that the flashlight industry got way brighter in the last 20 years. The good old trusty plastic incandescent flashlight with D cell batteries is what most households had sitting around for years prior and a modern smartphone actually compares favorably to those in brightness (though not focused)

Modern flashlights are insane, they can even be dangerous haha.

Tell me about it. I tried to find a flashlight for my 2yo son that he could stare into without hurting his eyes. There are none. I need to find a old light bulb one somewhere in some basement.

The best kind of flashlight is the kind you have with you. All the others suck.

I have one on my key ring for that reason

"Horrible" but always with you.

But handily beat absolute darkness
