You might find yourself thinking: "What do I need a keychain flashlight for? I have a flashlight on my cell phone!" This is true, most people are now used to using the flashlight function on their cell phone that uses the camera's flash as a flashlight. However, what if a situation were to arrive where you need both your cell phone and a source of light? It is in a situation like this where one would find a simple keychain flashlight very convenient. That and they are a very fun EDC item to have around.

Not only does a keychain flashlight run independently of your smartphone, it saves your precious smart phone battery. Also a dedicated flashlight will always be brighter than the rudimentary flashlight function on a phone. Thus, a permanent secondary source of light that one can easily operate independent of one's mobile device is paramount. If you are the kind of individual who enjoys preparation - this is very important.
