The 'GM212X' tactical flashlight certainly delivers on all of these fronts. For one, this flashlight uses a singular OMNI laser light engine and offers five modes that range from high-output to medium, low, strobe and SOS pattern. It is exceptionally lightweight and easy to carry around, particularly when you consider that this is a flashlight that happens to be powerful enough to produce 270 lumens of brightness and illuminate a beam that's well over a kilometer long. This tactical flashlight is currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign over on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-flashlight), where it can obtained for a pledge starting at around $135.
