Convenient Multi-Purpose Flashlights

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Dark Fades 45° Lens Provides the Smoothest Light Imaginable

— July 26, 2022 — Lifestyle
Dark Fade is an ultra-convenient multi-purpose flashlight. This product features an invisible knob, so you will no longer have to scroll through flashlight modes to find your desired brightness. The most intriguing feature is that you can also select your brightness before you turn it on to avoid disturbing others.

When Glaco was designing this product, they accidentally placed the lens of the light at 45 degrees. They quickly noticed that this angle was the best and most comfortable way of holding this portable light. This angle makes it easy to attach to a belt or shirt to free your hands.

The lens is made of a combined 200 microlenses that provide the smoothest light imaginable. The company's goal is not just to turn the light on but to turn the darkness off.
