Performance
This flashlight gives kids versatility with two brightness levels (70 lm high / 10 lm low) and a beam range of about 12 m in high mode and 5 m low. The optics are softened to protect sensitive eyes, while the integrated clip makes it easy to attach to backpacks. IP44 splash resistance keeps it safe from outdoors splashes. It runs on two AAA batteries, delivering 4 hrs of sustained brightness or 18 hrs low, with power-saving shutoff after 20 minutes of continuous use.

Final Thoughts
The Kidbeam 4 nails the kid‑flashlight niche: playful, safe, rugged, and thoughtful. It’s not a power tool, but it doesn’t need to be. For evening backyard hunts, bedtime story missions, or camping exploration, it adds fun and functionality—without overkill. Just note: if you want rechargeability or full waterproofing, you may want to look higher. But for reliable, colorful, child‑safe illumination, this ticks the boxes.
