Ascending Optics Shines a Light on Everyday Carry with New Compact LED Flashlight

St. Helens, OR – October 26, 2023 – Ascending Optics LLC, a US-based company quietly making waves in the outdoor and everyday carry (EDC) space, today announced the release of their latest product: a seriously compact and surprisingly powerful LED flashlight. Based right here in St. Helens, Oregon (you can find us at 364 S 6th St, 97051-2516, or give us a ring at 626-271-4857!), Ascending Optics is focused on delivering reliable, thoughtfully designed gear that doesn’t break the bank. And this flashlight? It's a perfect example. For years, the market’s been flooded with bulky, complicated flashlights. Lots of bells and whistles, but often overkill for what most people actually need. Ascending Optics noticed this gap. They asked themselves: what if you could get a seriously useful light, small enough to always have with you, that just… works? That’s the driving force behind this new flashlight. It's not about being the brightest light on the market (though it is pretty bright!). It’s about providing practical, dependable illumination in a package that fits comfortably in your pocket, purse, or glove compartment. “We’re a small company, and we really listen to what people are saying,” explains a spokesperson for Ascending Optics. “We kept hearing folks wanted something simple, something they wouldn’t be afraid to lose or damage, but still powerful enough for everyday tasks. We think we’ve nailed it.” So, what makes this flashlight different? First off, the size. Seriously, it’s tiny. We’re talking roughly the size of a standard key fob. This isn’t a flashlight you’ll be using to illuminate a football field, but for finding your keys in the dark, navigating a power outage, checking under the sofa, or walking the dog at night, it’s perfect. But don’t let the small size fool you. Ascending Optics packed a surprisingly powerful LED into this little powerhouse. The company is keeping the exact lumen output a bit of a secret, but sources say it easily rivals flashlights twice its size. It provides a clean, focused beam that's ideal for close-up tasks, but also has enough throw to light up a decent-sized area. Beyond the Brightness: What Else You Need to Know Ascending Optics didn't just focus on brightness. They paid attention to the details that matter in a truly usable flashlight: Durability: Built with a rugged aluminum alloy body, this flashlight is designed to withstand everyday bumps and scrapes. It's not indestructible, but it’s certainly more than capable of handling life's little mishaps. Simple Operation: Forget complicated modes and hidden buttons. This flashlight features a single, intuitive button for on/off operation. It couldn’t be easier to use, even with gloves on. Power Source: The flashlight runs on readily available and affordable AAA batteries. No need to worry about proprietary batteries or charging cables. Just pop in some fresh batteries and you’re good to go. (Batteries not included, because everyone seems to have a stash somewhere!) Pocket Clip: A sturdy, integrated pocket clip lets you securely attach the flashlight to your pocket, belt, or backpack. It’s always there when you need it, and won’t rattle around in your bag. Water Resistance: While not submersible, the flashlight is designed to withstand splashes and rain. It's perfectly fine for use in damp conditions.
