NEWS – The FLATEYE flashlight from Panthervision features a flat shape that they claim makes it easier to grip. You won’t need to worry about it rolling away from you on a flat surface either.
Available in versions with a lumen range of 700 up to 2175 lumens, the FLATEYE flashlights have versions that are powered by AAA, AA, CR123A, CR123 batteries, or even USB rechargeable – depending on the model.
The FLATEYE flashlights are waterproof and also feature a metal Hyper-Fin design around the LED to help keep it cool and prevent burns.
Prices start at $69.99 for the 700 lumen FLATEYE flashlight and go up to $299.99 for the 2175 lumen rechargeable model (less on Amazon). You can find out more at panthervision.com

Are you telling us that you could go full Vegas lighting if power ever went out in your neighborhood?
Good thing I’m a snob for lights high CRI: Color Rendering Index. Otherwise, I’d be tempted. Trust me: If the maker doesn’t mention high CRI (a CRI of 90 or higher on a scale that maxes out at 100), it means their light doesn’t have it.
I hear you about the CRI, but technically all light “has” it… Whether lights have a high score or not would be a more likely cause for unpublished data unless the product is just thrown together & sold untested. So as you hinted at, most quality lights will let you know color and CRI rating; best to stick with those brands with listed data if you are going to spend a substantial amount. IMO, these look neat, but I would advise passing on them in favor of newer tech that looks less gimmicky with more supporting data and broader battery offerings.
Why they made round flashlights to begin with that are prone to rolling away is completely beyond me.
