Life Happens. You need a flashlight and those 50 lumens on your phone aren’t going to cut it in an emergency. Not to mention the intense battery drain that comes with the phone light. A dedicated flashlight or headlamp gives you more brightness, longer runtime, and hands-free light for storms, car trouble, and the everyday moments your phone just isn't built for.
Why Not Just Use Your Phone's Flashlight?
Your flashlight has a longer runtime and more battery life than the light on your phone. You'll get a brighter beam with higher lumens to actually illuminate the area, and with a penlight like the Aura, a slide focus feature to zoom in when you need it. Or skip holding a light altogether: wear a headlamp, like the MORF R700, for hands-free light while you make a call, all without burning down your phone's battery.
Lightning Strikes: Storms and Emergencies
Storms and other emergencies happen all the time, sometimes when we least expect. Floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, you name it. Stay prepared for this emergency with a flashlight. Our Skylar 3300-Lumen flashlight is great to keep in the house or car to grab when the power goes out or if you get stuck and need to pull over in inclement weather.
Stalling Out: Car Trouble
Car troubles can sometimes be unavoidable. It’s great to keep a flashlight in your car and your pocket just in case your day comes to a screeching halt. Whether it’s popping the hood, inspecting the underbelly or changing a tire, having a flashlight or headlamp on hand is necessary. Our Dover Rechargeable Flashlight is 800 lumens and includes slide focus.
Our Morf R700 headlamp provides a hands-free experience as a headlamp and functions as a detachable flashlight and magnet light so you can have two sources of light while you look under the hood.
Our penlights are also great for a quick inspection.
Unexpected Events
Sometimes it’s nice to have a light on hand and maybe you’ll be the hero who finds the remote in the couch cushions all because you had your Inspector Penlight in your pocket.
Do Flashlights Help with Personal Safety?
For those moments when you feel in your gut that “this might not be such a great idea” or “this doesn’t seem safe” having a light to illuminate your path can do wonders. Our flashlights are bright, and many have modes such as a flash and S.O.S. feature for any time you might find yourself in a less-than-ideal situation. Having a bright, blinding light can help you quickly ease the situation and go on your way. Our Zephyr 3330 Lumen flashlight and Blackjack flashlight are great for situations like this. For smaller options, the Aura-R and Aura-RS would work well too.
Peace of Mind
You never know what's to come. Might as well have the peace of mind that comes with knowing you're prepared.

FAQ
Do I really need a flashlight if I already have my phone? Yes. A phone's built-in light is usually around 50 lumens and pulls from the same battery you need for calls, GPS, or emergency contact. A dedicated flashlight delivers far more brightness and runtime without touching your phone's charge.
What's the difference between a flashlight and a headlamp for emergencies? A flashlight gives you a directed, adjustable beam you hold in your hand, useful for spotlighting something specific. A headlamp frees up both hands, which matters when you're changing a tire, carrying supplies during a power outage, or working under the hood.
What should I keep in my car for emergencies? A rechargeable flashlight with enough lumens to inspect an engine bay or change a tire at night, plus a compact penlight for glovebox storage, covers most roadside situations.
Are Police Security flashlights waterproof? Most Police Security flashlights and headlamps are built to be impact- and water-resistant, making them suitable for storms, camping, and outdoor use. Check the individual product page for the specific IPX rating before relying on it in heavy rain or submersion.
