Flashlights are used in many situations to add light to an area. Camping, being stuck in a blackout or working in shady places are some examples of when flashlights would be best used. Flashlights are portable and easy to carry along with other camping equipment. The intensity of the light that flashlights give off varies, as does the price, weight and shape. It is important to have adequate lighting on a campsite because light prevents people from getting injured in the dark. Flashlights should be a key item taken on camping trips or to be left in one’s vehicle in case of emergency.
