9 Best Flashlights for Kids & Toddlers [Updated in 2024] (2024)

Olight Obulb MC which is a cute light ball that can produce multiple colors.

This charming light ball weighs only 2.05 oz (58 g) (including battery) and would fit perfectly in a child’s palm. This can illuminate warm white light in Low (3.5 lumens) and high (75 lumens) modes.

The remaining colors are red, green, and blue, which are 3-7 lumens each. There is a color fading mode in which red, green, blue, and white mix together to produce more colors.

The maximum runtime on low white mode is 40 hours and color modes would run about 7 hours.

This is not a ball-shaped flashlight like the Obulb but a conventional-looking mini flashlight that can also be used on a keychain.

It weighs only 0.85 oz (24 g), including the battery, and the length is 2.68 inches (68 mm). It’s the perfect small flashlight for a kid. But the fascinating thing about it is the high-lumen output. It has three modes:

• Low mode (3 lumens, 26ft throw with 30h runtime)
• Medium mode (25 lumens, 56ft throw with 5 h runtime)
• High mode (150 lumens, 131 ft throw with 55 minutes runtime)
• Burst mode (400 lumens, 210 ft throw with few seconds of runtime)

As the name says, Acebeam came up with a kids headlamp flashlight that is healthier for kids. They distinguished themselves from other LEDs by having zero blu-ray damage (RG0).

This is a better option for children’s eyes, as it reduces eye fatigue and improves overall visual comfort for extended work periods.

The H60 Health should be attached to the easily adjustable headband. Don’t worry; the packaging includes a high-quality reflective Acebeam headband.

But when removed from the headband, it can be used as a handheld flashlight.

This is a perfect toyish keychain flashlight to give a kid; whether it’s a girl or a boy, you can select colors.

This is a narrow-body mini flashlight with 3.2 inches in length and 0.5 inches (12.7mm) in diameter. Weight with the battery is 22.6g, that is under a pound, which is just perfect for kids.

AAA batteries power this toyish kid’s flashlight, and the runtime is approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.

The EDC01 has a minimalist design but a firm grip on the hand. It is a small keychain light with three different light modes and a maximum lumen output of 120. It weighs only 23.4 grams and is 2.6 inches long.

Lumintop did not forget to make the EDC01 a bit more interesting for children, so they give you the option of choosing your child’s favorite color or different colors for different kids.

The Archer 2A V3 is the longest on this list, measured at 6.1 inches. Even though it is long, the body diameter is only 0.7 inches (17 mm), and it weighs 106 grams with the battery.
