So I was talking in my last post about how LED flashlights have a sort of built in redundancy. With regular flashlights, you usually only get the one bulb. So if that bulb dies on you, then you’re out of luck. With LED flashlights, however, you usually have more than one light source. My flashlight comes with 3. So maybe one of these might fail, but really, what are the chances that two of them will fail at the same time? Or that all three will decide to kick the bucket all at once. So at least if you have one or two remaining working LEDs then you’ll still have some light at your disposal. Maybe not full strength light, but maybe enough for your needs.
And hey, if you need light for an emergency then that one or two bulbs worth of brightness just may be enough to get you out of your scrape. Again, I just really like the idea of this redundancy which you can pretty much find in most if not all LED flashlights.
