Flashlight Tools
The question every buyer asks is "which light should I actually carry?" These free, interactive tools answer it from the use case and the spec data — match a light to how you’ll use it, and confirm the right cells and chargers before you buy. Each carries a "How this is calculated" note citing the ANSI/NEMA FL-1 definitions (lumens, runtime-to-10%, peak beam intensity in candela, throw = 2 × √(candela) metres) and community-measured data sources — never our own lab. No review claims — just the data.

Battery / cell compatibility checker
Enter your light’s cell format (18650 / 21700 / AA / built-in USB-C) to get compatible cells, protected-vs-unprotected and button-vs-flat-top notes, matching chargers, and Li-ion factual-safety pointers.
