SOG M-29 Flashlight Black 2000 Lumens

The SOG M-29 in black: 2000 lumens, a stated beam distance of 322 meters, a single 21700 cell at 5000 mAh, fast charging, and a switch that flips between two interface modes.

It also discharges, which means it works as a power bank. That is worth more on a long trip than it sounds: a 5000 mAh cell is most of a phone charge, and a phone is the GPS, the camera, the map and the way you tell somebody you are walking out late. One object doing two jobs is one less thing in the pack.

The honest caveat is that a light used as a power bank is a light with less left in it for being a light. Decide which job matters more before you drain it topping up a phone at camp.
