Somehow, it feels like we’re entering into a boom era for interesting flashlights showing up on crowdfunding platforms. Whether or not any of them are good, that’s something that only time will tell. However, if you come rolling up to the starting line with a titanium case, pre-milled slots for tritium tubes, and up to a 7-hour run time, well, you’ve caught my eye. And that’s what the TwiLite Titanium Flashlight is offering up.
TwiLite Titanium Flashlight: what it is
That opening paragraph gives you the basic rundown. The TwiLite Titanium Flashlight relies on a Gr5 titanium body that is just slightly larger than an AA battery. With that titanium, you’re keeping it light (like an aluminum body would offer), while still making things tough. This is also how in the detachable tail cap they can build in a glass breaker spike, since the metal can handle it.
The tail cap is something I rather like. It has a loop, so you can wear it on a chain (or have clipped on your belt or backpack). The magnets inside hold it in place (up to 7 lbs of force), but let you quickly grab it off of the tail cap to put it to work. Alternatively, you can rely on the clip to hold the TwiLite Titanium Flashlight in place in your pocket, or even on the brim of your cap.
Lighting modes
The flashlight has five different lighting modes, with the low, medium, and high being accessible with just single clicks of the power button. If you want to go into strobe mode, it’s a double click. And if you just want the maximum amount of light this thing can produce, a triple-click will put it into ultra-high brightness mode (300 lumens). Whatever mode it’s in, you can shut the flashlight off with a single click.
Powering things
The TwiLite Titanium Flashlight relies on an internal 80 mAh 10180 lithium battery. On a 1a charger (via USB-C) you’ll be fully charged in 60 minutes; use a 2.4a charger, and you’re cutting that time down to 35 minutes. Once fully charged, you can get up to 7 hours of runtime (presumably on the lowest light mode), which should be plenty of daily usage.
Wrapping things up
As we mentioned at the outset, the TwiLite Titanium Flashlight has milled slots setup to handle tritium tubes. You can get those as an add-on for $60 (for four tubes), or a more basic glow tubes (requires light to get them glowing) for $16 for four. Pricing for the TwiLite Titanium Flashlight starts at $57, with delivery anticipated for June 2025. The campaign is fully funded, and with the shorter lead time on shipping, this seems like one that be ready to accompany you on summer adventures. Check out the campaign at kickstarter.com
