How we test flashlights
We carry every light daily for at least two weeks: on keys, in pockets and in bags. Then we check real-world brightness, how fast it steps down from turbo, whether the clip holds, and whether it turns on by accident in a pocket.

- Runtime and step-down observed
- Accidental activation in pocket checked
- Clip, lockout and charging tested
