Hi! As someone who doesn’t use flashlights often at all I’m quite curious how often you actually use flashlights. Are they like an everyday carry?

    I carry 3 (different uses) plus spare batteries in the bag that goes almost everywhere with me (especially to work for night-shift).

    I use them on average about 3-4 times a week and often in places/environments that using a phone would destroy it or require a thorough decontamination.

    @ouigol I work in live video for live events, I often need to look into dark backstage, dark technical cases and often work night time. I used to have a headlamp, then I bought a angleable magnetic flashlight to light up the back of trucks while load-in or load-out, or just general dark backstage. Working in video, I was not a fan of shitty light quality, so I progressively upgraded thanks to r/flashlight.

    Every day…

    Headlamp while I give the cats dinner every night.

    Torch or headlamp to see in my car’s boot (Subaru Forester - completely shit boot light).

    And many many more regular uses…
