Good flashlights. You can get a great one that’s rechargeable and super bright for something like 30€. At the same price you can get a crappy one at your local hardware store which is the options most people choose.
Genuinely curious, because it’s quite apparently about lifestyle in general: how often do you need a flashlight, especially a good/bright one? I mean, a bright one is nice to have, but it’s not like I’d need one. Basically I can understand why people just pick whatever they happen to find from the first store they walk into, and they’re happy with their purchase.
Currently, I don’t even own a flashlight. I rarely need one and when I do, I’ve just used my phone’s flashlight and it’s been just fine for whatever I needed to do.
Literally carry one every day. 90% of the time, when it gets used it’s not a need, but it was really nice to have. If you drop a screw or something small, you can either crawl around looking for it for 5 minutes, or you can shine a flashlight across the floor and see the shadow in 5 seconds.
I watch literal doctors and mechanics try to finagle their phones with the light on into weird places and I have no idea why more people don’t carry a flashlight.
Sure, not everyone needs one, but if your job depends on needing extra light on a regular basis…
Flashlight is essential for winter in rural places, for working on cars or lighting up awkward places. I’d rather put in place a torch or flexi torch and have it fall over instead of my mid range phone which may lead to the screen scratching. Generally too, using my phone where I need a torch simply exposes my phone to risks.

Bonus points if you have a flashlight with a beveled edge for self-defense. Good old blind and bash!
