What are a flashlight's uses?

Flashlights have multiple uses. First and foremost, they give you the power of portable light whenever and wherever you need it. Key uses are safety and security, general household use and outdoor camping.

Other flashlight uses include:

• Safety when walking in the dark
• During emergencies—searching in dark areas or in case of automotive breakdown
• Helping lead you out of the house in case of a home fire
• During a power outage
• Hiking through caves
• Lighting your way during trick-or-treating
• During a visit to the doctor—an eye doctor uses a special light to look into your eyes; a dentist uses a light to get a better look at your teeth; surgeons use special lights during surgery
• Lighting construction areas
• Searching through a garage, attic, or dark closet
• Shining light on hard-to-reach places when working on machinery, such as a car
