Whether you’re camping in the backcountry or fixing a pipe under your sink, you need something better and brighter than a smartphone’s flash. This utility torch ($100) functions as a handheld, headlamp, or magnetic attachment. With a max output of 3,600 lumens (the equivalent of that many candles) via 19 multi-colored LEDs—each of which can be controlled independently through touch or the partner app—JordiLight packs a serious visual punch, especially for a four-ounce device that rings up at $99\. “Dollars to lumens, we’re the cheapest flashlight on the market,” founder Robert Haddad says. JordiLight is also equipped with a compass—you can program the lights to indicate direction—and a sensor that detects impact and triggers the SOS mode. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2022/6224863/jordilight/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2022/6224863/jordilight/"},"headline":"Much More Than a Flashlight","datePublished":"2022-11-10T11:04:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-03T00:07:58.644Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2022/6224863/jordilight/","keywords":["list","franchise","ecommerce","best inventions","Best Inventions 2022"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7b9a2eb68a967a00/698a3778d075333f67e6d70d/best-iventions-2022-Jordilight.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7b9a2eb68a967a00/698a3778d075333f67e6d70d/best-iventions-2022-Jordilight.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2022/6224863/jordilight/","name":"Much More Than a Flashlight"}}]}] ```
