The Nitecore VCL10 Multi-Functional All-in-One Vehicle Gadget is a 25-lumen emergency flashlight, a flashing red safety light, a magnetized trouble light, and a window-breaker for emergencies— and thanks to its Quick Charge 2.0/3.0 circuitry, it can charge your phone or device quickly. Plug it into your car’s DC power (cigarette lighter) socket, and take maximum advantage of the vehicle’s power with 5/9/12 VDC, 2.4-amp charging in QC 2.0 or 3.6-12 VDC, 2.4-amp charging in QC 3.0. The VCL10 adjusts its output to suit the device being charged, with a suite of protections against short circuit, over-voltage, under-voltage, and overheating.

The light head on the flashlight tilts 90°, and the VCL10’as built-in battery will run it for up to three hours on a charge. Click the rubber power button on top of the gadget to switch from steady white red to flashing red. The built-in photodetector will sense oncoming traffic and increase the speed of the flash from once per second to 10 times, alerting motorists to your presence on the side of the road (and alerting you to the approaching car). A magnetized body allows you to place the light almost anywhere, making things like changing a flat tire in the dark easier and safer. And if you’ve been in an accident and your power windows are disabled, the hard tungsten steel window breaker can be used to escape your vehicle.
