WARSUN T9 EDC Flashlight, 1500 Lumens, USB-C Rechargeable

Most people carry a phone light and then find out it is useless the moment they actually need it, whether that is under a car, up in an attic or fifty feet down a dark trail. A phone lights about four feet and drains itself doing it. A pocket flashlight putting out 1500 lumens is a different category of tool, and this one is small enough that carrying it is not a daily decision.

The T9 is more than a beam. There is a side flood light for close work where a tight hotspot is worse than nothing, a UV light for spotting pet stains and leaks, and a red laser for pointing at something across a dark yard without walking over to it. Each has its own switch, so you are not cycling through four modes to get back to plain white light.

The tail is magnetic with a clip, and that is the feature you end up using most. Stick it to a hood, a workbench or the inside of a toolbox and you get both hands back. It charges over USB-C from the same cable as everything else you own, and the battery indicator tells you where you stand before you head out instead of halfway through the job.

• 1500 lumens throws real light down a trail, not the four feet a phone manages.
• Four light sources main beam, side flood, UV and red laser, each on its own switch.
• Magnetic tail clip sticks to metal and frees both hands for the actual work.
• Side flood light wide, soft light for close work where a spot beam blinds you.
• USB-C rechargeable charges from the cable already in your bag or car.
• Battery indicator know it is dead before you leave, not once you are out there.
• Ready out of the box no assembly; charge it fully, press a switch and go.
