No matter how many apps you have on your smartphone, it can’t do everything. It can’t, for example, serve as a reliable flashlight. Sure, it does have that function — but try using that meager and unwieldy beam to change a tire or find your way down a hiking trail at night.

Luckily, there’s a lighting solution that’s compact, easy to handle, and powerful: the Cob mini keychain multifunction flashlight.

A tiny, powerful flashlight for your keychain

At just over an inch square and less than 3 ounces, the Cob may not even be the biggest thing on your keychain. It will almost certainly be the most useful, though — especially if you spend a lot of time in the great outdoors.

The central attraction is a bank of LEDs that can achieve 1,000 lumens of brightness. That’s almost as much output as a 75-watt lightbulb that you might use to light up an entire room. And the mini flashlight’s durable internal battery (rechargeable through a built-in USB) can keep that light going for up to six hours.

What’s more, you can get that illumination in your choice of seven modes that you can cycle through with a simple button press. For instance, you can light up the campsite with either white light or a warm yellow glow (or a combination of the two). Emergency mode will activate a flashing red light as a signal for help.

It’s all protected by a waterproof shell, and there are even screwdriver heads on the back that you can attach if you need tools.

Save on the Cob mini keychain flashlight

Right now, you can get the Cob mini keychain multifunction flashlight for $14.99 (more than 30% off the original MSRP). Or snap up a two-pack of Cobs for just $21.99.
