Fenix E06R Rechargeable EDC Flashlight

I keep this clipped in my pocket for the walk home from the train, and the 700 lumens genuinely lights up the whole block. The UV mode is a weird bonus I didn't expect to use, but it's great for checking if hotel sheets are actually clean. Charges fast too, which matters when I forget to plug it in.

Took this on a night hike and the beam reached way further than I expected for something this small—that 361-foot throw is no joke. The UV mode is a fun bonus I didn't know I needed for checking hotel rooms.

Took this on a night hike and the beam throw genuinely surprised me for something this small. The UV mode is a weird bonus I didn't expect to use, but it's great for checking hotel room stains. Ten modes is honestly overkill, though the red laser came in handy for pointing things out to my kids.
