The lightsaber intensity of this lamp (405 lumens max) will have you wondering why you’d ever wear your old go-to again. Beam distance is 140 meters on full blast, but that’ll last you only two hours. Dial it back to medium for three hours or low for 20. We liked the red LED to preserve our night vision, big power switch to cycle through output modes, tilt function and easy-grip bezel to adjust focus, from ultra-wide flood to bull’s-eye spot. $60; coastportland.com
