How to choose the best Flashlight to keep in your Car!

What will happen in the middle of the night when your car breaks down and you are stuck on the side of the road?

Well, for one, you are going to end up fumbling around in the dark – unless – you have a high-quality, reliable torch on hand. If you do, then you won’t have any trouble sorting out your issues or signalling for help.

A good quality torch is an important part of your emergency kit, in your home as well as in your car. Actually it is probably one of the most important items to keep around for road side assistance.

Let’s take a look at what defines the best flashlight for your vehicle…

Torch Lumen Output – It is useless to have a torch that’s lumen count is so low that when you turn it on the light is too dim to do any good! You definitely don’t want this to happen at night when you are stranded, so make sure that your torch lumen output is at least 250 lumens.

Size – The best flashlight for your car is light and small enough to fit someone convenient, such as your glove compartment or emergency kit.

Battery Life – What’s the use of having a flashlight in your car if the battery dies in a few minutes? Make sure to use high-quality batteries and keep a spare pair on hand.

Durability – A cheap torch that you bought from the bargain bin is not going to survive should you be involved in a car accident. It might not even last long just sitting in your car, so it is important that your car torch is durable.

Why you should always keep a flashlight in your car

There is nothing worse than your car breaking down on the side of the road – except for your car breaking down on the side of the road in the dark!

Don’t panic. Keep a flashlight in your car at all times to avoid ever being stuck in an unfortunate situation.

• Self-defense

Getting stuck in the middle of nowhere is dangerous, especially in the dark. Believe it or not, but having a flashlight handy, can save your life.

If you are ever in the situation where your life is in danger, a flashlight can double as a non-lethal weapon. A single blow to the head or bright flash in the eyes can render an attacker immobilized, just long enough for you to escape or call for help.

• Illumination

Have you ever tried looking for an object you dropped in your car? If can be almost impossible, especially if it’s dark. Keeping a flashlight in your glove compartment is absolutely necessary!

• Emergencies

Keeping a flashlight in your car is essential if your car ever breaks down in an unlit area. Changing a tyre or seeing under the hood of your car to address the problem can be almost impossible without the help of a flashlight.

• Signalling for help

Breaking down on the side of the road also means that the other cars on the road may not be able to see your vehicle. A flashlight can double as an emergency light to signal to oncoming traffic that your car has broken down and may be in harm’s way.

What is the best flashlight for your car?

What happens in the middle of the night when your car breaks down on the side of the road? When you need to change a flat tyre in a dark parking lot? Or when you lose your keys or phone between the seat and the console?

You’re going to end up fumbling around in the dark unless you have a flashlight handy. In that case, you have no problem getting under the hood, changing that tyre or finding your keys.

A flashlight is an essential part of any emergency preparedness kit; in fact, it is one of the most important items to have when roadside assistance is too far away to help.

But, what is the best flashlight for your car? Let’s look at what a quality emergency flashlight for the car possesses:

- Convenient Size
The ideal flashlight for your car is lightweight and small. You want a flashlight that can easily fit in your glove box or inside your emergency kit in your boot.

- Long Battery Life
Batteries eventually lose their charge, and there is no way to know when or how often you will need to use your emergency flashlight, but when you do use it, you want it to work without fail!

- Easy to Recharge
Ideally you want a flashlight that is easy to recharge, preferably one that can be charged directly from your car or computer. Even if your car doesn’t have a USB adapter, there are easy adapters that transform the traditional “cigarette lighter” into a powerful USB charging port.

- Durable
A cheap, plastic flashlight won’t survive the impact of a car accident. It might not even survive daily wear and tear in your glove box or boot. It’s very important for your emergency flashlight to work all the time.

- Bright
Have you ever turned on a flashlight that’s beam is so dim it’s almost useless? You definitely don’t want that to happen on the side of the road, in the dark! Make sure your emergency flashlight offers at least 250 lumens of brightness.
