Torch

Tiny flashlight, tiny output, right? That's not always the case. The PicoTorch twists out over 200 lumens and burns for up to two hours a charge while dangling from a keychain. With a magnetic base, it doubles as an effective work light.

The Lumina camping lantern certainly packs a lot of features into a small(ish) package. Among other things, it can telescope up and down, serve as a flashlight, charge your devices, and cling to ferromagnetic surfaces.

Sometimes a forward-facing-beam flashlight is what you need, while other times a side-facing beam is more appropriate. The Wuben X2Pro combines the two in one device, plus both of its beam modules are multi-functional.

Although many multitools include flashlights, they're often puny penlight-like things. The MutiFlex 13-in-1 Flashlight is different, in that it features a big ol' 1,000-lumen torch along with 12 (ish) other functions.

Nitecore has long been stuffing insane lumens into tiny flashlights, and its latest torch does so in an entirely different form factor. The EDC27 looks more like a TV remote thanks to an ultra-slim body built to slip readily into a pocket.

As the name might suggest, Nitecore's line of Tiny Monster flashlights are design to pack maximum punch into compact packages, and the recently introduced TM20K cranks up the illumination to a blinding 20,000 lumens.

Measuring less than an inch long yet packing more than enough lumens to help you find the keyhole at night, the Sub is intended as a barely noticeable part of an everyday carry right up until the moment you need it.

The team at Danforce appear to have stuffed more into a flashlight than we'd have imagined possible. The super-modular G1 Pro is an adjustable-focus flashlight throwing out up to 1,080 lumens. But it's also a lantern, a compass and a power bank, with mounts, clips and accessories galore.

A bright torch and quality multitool are crucial parts of any camping kit. Tennessee-based Pyyros has taken a modular approach to its eponymous multitool, allowing different capabilities​ to be added to the lightweight aluminum body depending on the expedition at hand.

The Mstick is a curious little device. It doesn't immediately appear to fall easily into any category and yet has multiple useful functions. It seems conspicuously unusual and yet strangely compelling. It's just an LED light stick. But it's also a timer, an alarm and a weather forecast display.

Flashlight multi-tools tend to be highly unintuitive designs with flip-out implements integrated awkwardly into the flashlight body or tiny flashlights bolted onto multi-tools. Life+Gear's SUF docks a standalone multi-tool in its handle for full-sized flashlight combined with standalone multi-tool.

The amount of kit needed to go camping in the great outdoors can soon add up. Which means multi-purpose products can be an absolute godsend. The VSSL Flask is one such item, combining a flashlight, compass and a flask for discreetly storing a beverage of your choice.
