Start with the places that need light: a nearby task, a walking route or the area around a table. Small AAA torches, side-light pocket torches and pump-lights offer different ways to cover those jobs. Choose suitable power and controls, check what is included, and carry independent backup lighting where a lost or flat light could create a safety problem.

How we choose
Distinguish a close-range task light from broad area lighting.
Use only the battery chemistry and size the maker supports.
Check charging, spare-power and lockout arrangements.
Do not treat a small clip or magnetic attachment as secure without checking the actual surface.
