DanForce’s G1 Pro: A Modular Multifunctional Flashlight

Outdoor gear manufacturer Danforce has designed the G1 Pro, a feature-packed flashlight that aims to do the job of multiple objects. The G1 is modular, meaning you can lengthen the shaft by adding a second battery, increasing both the lumens and the battery life. That second battery can also serve as a standalone charging bank, if you need to top off your phone or anything else with a USB connection. When you’re staying put, a lantern attachment can be used to diffuse the light. And an included bike mount lets you attach the G1 to your handlebars.

The G1 has been a smash hit on Kickstarter–despite having one of the goofiest pitch videos I’ve ever seen:

Silly video aside, the G1 has attracted $200,973 in pledges on a $17,500 goal, and there’s still 30 days left to pledge.

If you want a more sober look at the G1’s features, there’s a straightforward presentation of it below.
