Why is it, exactly, that it’s impossible to find a flashlight when you need one? It’s generally agreed that there are three places where you should always keep a flashlight: in the kitchen, in your bedside drawer, and in your car.  Over the years, I’ve bought all kinds of flashlights. Small ones, heavy ones, halogen lights, xenon lights—I don’t know what happened to any of them. They were all right there, taking up space where they were supposed to be, until I needed one.  Even if I managed to somehow locate one, the batteries would be dead. I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t put them back right away after I used them or what, but I must have spent thousands of dollars over the years buying more stupid flashlights I was just going to lose.

That’s why the RoadPro AC/DC Rechargeable 12 Million Candle Power Utility Light is so perfect for me.  Sure, it’s got enough light output to give you a suntan, and that’s important in emergency situations.  But what I like best about it is that it’s too big to lose! It’s light enough to be portable, but it’s big enough that it’s hard to miss. This thing isn’t going to get lost in the couch cushions, am I right?  And I don’t have to worry about the batteries dying, because it’s rechargeable. Even if the power is out, I can always charge it up with the DC outlet in my car.  It’s foolproof.  And I never have to buy another flashlight again.
