Pak-Lite. World’s Smallest Flashlight - A nifty little flashlight that’s been used by the US Military, FEMA and the Red Cross is the Pak-Lite. It can go anywhere because it’s one of the smallest flashlights I’ve ever seen. It weighs 1.5 oz. and just snaps to the top of a 9 volt battery. Talk about minimalist! It’s just a touch bigger than the battery itself and can shine up to 1200 hours on a 9 volt lithium battery. Vic Henry, the CEO of the company, says it operates just fine underwater too, or even while frozen solid in ice! Models range from about $13 for the very basic Pak-Lite to $30 for a multipurpose Pak-Lite that meets military specs. www.9voltlight.com
