That TikTok-Viral Flashlight Is More Expensive Than You Think

Ever scrolled through TikTok and thought, wait, is that a flashlight or the sun? A viral video showing an ultra-powerful torch lighting up an entire dark street had users shook. One press of a button, and suddenly, it’s daytime. Naturally, people wanted to know, what is this thing, and how much does it actually cost?

The viral video was posted by LKCJ MCN, but the flashlight itself is made by IMALENT, a brand known for high-performance, heavy-duty flashlights. After watching the video, some TikTok users even called it a “pocket sun.” Others commented on how the effect could compare to opening one’s phone early in the morning, only more dangerous.

How much does the TikTok-viral flashlight cost?

Depending on the seller and platform, the TikTok-viral flashlight is typically priced in the premium range, often listed at around US$700. Converted to Philippine pesos, it would cost over 40,000 PHP and that puts it well above what most people would expect to pay for a flashlight. Still, given its extreme brightness and specialised use, the price makes more sense than it first appears.

The flashlight is made by IMALENT, a trusted brand for high-performance flashlights. The one that trended on TikTok is a model called the MS18 LED rechargeable flashlight, which has a maximum light of 100,000 lumens and up to 1,350 metres of beam distance. It’s said to be ideal for most night activities, including hiking, or even search and rescue.

Furthermore, the bright rechargeable flashlight has a multi-functional OLED display that shows the gadget’s parameters and other settings. This will let you adjust the brightness or output levels, which range from low to turbo, as you wish. The item also has an automatic control system, which turns it off when unused for a prolonged period.
