The Vintage Flashlight by [Barebones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barebones-edison-light-stick) elevates the experience in a way that is nostalgic and modern at once. The inspiration stems from vintage utility flashlights, as the everyday LED light is more than just its looks; it amplifies its performance. At a glance, the cage styling and hammertone features a textured paint to captivate visually.

The model also gets an updated engineering with a [dual brightness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopgear) delivered by the 3W LED bulb. It features two levels of light, including a soft 18-lumen glow for low light needs and the powerful 170 lumens when users need full brightness. It also has a [telescoping focus adjustment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outask-td2) to cater to various needs to widen or narrow the beam.
