When it comes to Halloween, size and portability matter, especially when you’re juggling costumes, candy bags, and more. The Fenix E03R V2.0 is the ultimate compact flashlight for this purpose. Smaller than your key fob, this tiny flashlight is very bright for its size at 500 lumens. This makes it great for lighting your way down dark streets.
The E03R V2.0 flashlight has seven lighting modes. These include four brightness levels and red light, red flashing, and a pulse light. The red flashing mode is great for making you visible to others and keeping trick-or-treaters safe. Its all-metal construction ensures durability, while the IP66 rating means it can withstand splashes and dust—perfect if you encounter unpredictable weather.
The Fenix E03R V2.0’s small size and variety of lighting modes make it a great option for both parents and kids* when it comes to flashlights for Halloween night.
Fenix E18R V2.0 – Small but Mighty
For those looking for an ultra-compact yet highly versatile flashlight for Halloween, the Fenix E18R V2.0 is a standout choice. This everyday carry (EDC) flashlight offers an impressive 1200 lumens of light output, making it ideal for not just Halloween but any nighttime adventure. Its two-way clip also lets you attach it to a hat and go hands free. This makes it great for visiting a haunted house or leading a group of trick-or-treaters.
The moonlight mode on the E18R V2.0 is perfect for low-light, close-up tasks like searching through candy bags without blinding yourself or others. Additionally, the magnetic tail allows you to stick it to any magnetic surface, which is great for quickly lighting up an area while keeping your hands free.
The E18R V2.0 is small in size but powerful in output. It’s also a very handy tool that can fit in your pocket or clip to your costume. Bring reliable light wherever you go this Halloween night.
Fenix PD36R PRO + MINI-LITE Combo – The Ultimate Parent-Kid Duo
For families heading out together on Halloween night, a flashlight combo pack is the perfect solution. The Fenix PD36R PRO is a powerful flashlight for parents, while the MINI-LITE is a great kid-friendly option*.
The PD36R PRO offers 2800 lumens of output, enough to illuminate an entire street. Its long battery life and dual tail switches make it easy to control, allowing parents to quickly turn it on and off as needed or switch between lighting modes. The PD36R PRO is designed to handle rugged outdoor conditions, making it perfect for adventurous Halloween hikes or neighborhood trick-or-treating excursions.
Paired with the PD36R PRO, the MINI-LITE is great for kids (while under parent supervision, of course). Its smaller size and simple controls make it easy for little ones to use while still offering plenty of light at a max of 150 lumens. Parents and kids can enjoy the night with the confidence that they’re prepared with some of the best lighting gear available.
This combo ensures that everyone in the family has the perfect flashlight for their Halloween adventure—bright enough for safety, compact enough for convenience.
