Every camera bag should contain one of these. I first came across the Coast G19 Inspection Beam Penlight nine years ago while searching for a pocketable torch with a precise beam to aid focusing for my Twilight project. After a couple of years, I started to hold Blue Hour workshops and approached Coast to see if they could supply me with half a dozen for the workshop attendees to use. They very kindly agreed and now with seven at my disposal I keep one in each camera bag (yes, like many photographers I have too many!) and one in the car just in case I forget my headtorch or need to do a spot of light-painting. It's reassurance.
Durable, small and light, and powered by a single AAA you don't even know it's there. I'm not sponsored by them (nor do I get anything from torchdirect whose link I have provided), I merely enjoy passing on tips such as these following extensive use of a product that I am confident will benefit other photographers. As the saying goes - don't delay, buy today!
