Drop Copper AAA Pocket Flashlight

Our third version of the Massdrop AAA flashlight, this model features a hefty copper body that will develop a natural patina over time. About the size of a tube of chapstick, it pumps out up to 110 lumens and casts a beam as far as 154 feet. The titanium button allows you to cycle from moonlight mode (great for not disrupting others in tight spaces) to medium mode to high mode. Perhaps best of all, it runs on a single AAA battery for a whopping 36 hours on the lowest setting. At checkout, you’ll have your choice between the CREE XP-G3 LED, which casts a brighter white beam, and the brand-new Nichia 219C LED. Based on community preferences from the last run, the Nichia 219C LED is more efficient and approximately 6 percent brighter than the Nichia 219B, with only a modest amount of warmth lost.

The flashlight’s copper body features knurling for grip in slippery conditions. And if you do happen to drop it in the water, not to worry: It’s IPX-8 waterproof and 1.5-meter impact resistant. Attach it to your belt or pocket, reverse the clip and put it on the bill of a cap, or remove the clip altogether and slide the light into a pocket. The stainless steel clip is a nice color complement to the glistening orange body. It also stands on its tail to shed low light in a whole room.
