Amazon has been an everyday carry lover's dream lately, posting incredible discounts on everything from bestselling pocket knives to handsomely rugged watches and slim leather wallets that won't weigh you down. While flashlights aren't commonly considered EDC essentials, Amazon has a super bright but compact model on sale right now that makes a strong case for something you'd want within reach at all times.
Acebeam’s Pokelit Rechargeable Mini Flashlight is now on sale for just $20, a wallet-friendly 33% off its retail price of $30. Even with its pocket-sized price tag, it packs a big enough punch to warrant nearly 3,000 five-star ratings from happy buyers who say it's a "must-have" piece of equipment, and over 1,000 have been purchased in the last month, alone. These flashlights come in two different sizes with varying finishes, including orange, copper, titanium, and black, but only this green color is available for the pocket-sized price.

This pocket-sized flashlight has high-quality LED bulbs and provides a bright, white light that is easy on the eyes and helps you see objects and colors in higher definition. It comes with a rechargeable battery but can also be used with AA batteries, which is perfect if charging is not an option, and it can produce light for up to 53 hours worth of use. It's also very sturdy, crafted with 075 aluminum alloy, and boasts an IP68 water resistance rating and 1.5 meters impact resistance to endure rough handling, scrapes, and harsh weather.
“It’s impressive—unbeatable value," a shopper said. "It’s compact, lightweight, and very bright. Versatile, considering you can use the rechargeable battery it comes with (which is very convenient) or you could throw one AA into it. Pocket clip fits perfectly onto a hat for an impromptu headlamp.” This shopper also loved its durability. “I spent a significant amount of time with it on my hat out in the rain, with no malfunctions—I would buy it again with 100% confidence.”
Another shopper was similarly impressed with its brightness. “One of the brightest flashlights I’ve ever seen,” they said. “Its brightness is amazing and has three settings, and it has a very useful clip for attaching to gear or hats as well as a lanyard.” They also noted its durability: “It's built very sturdy, overall easy to use.”
Acebeam’s Mini Flashlight is an excellent EDC tool, and whether you’re an outdoorsman, a runner, or just a gearhead, it's worth adding to your set-up. Make sure to grab one for yourself soon, though, because there's no telling when the price will spike back up.
