Winter is almost here, so we'll get longer nights for the next few months. A flashlight or other portable light source comes in handy whether you're preparing for possible power outages or just walking the dog after dark. These handy gadgets are inexpensive and can even make a practical gift for adventurers, but saving a few more bucks is always good.

Right now you can score GearLight deals at Amazon for 20% off thanks to our exclusive coupon code of 20CNETGEAR. These deals are live until Dec. 16, but it's best to act fast to grab your top choice.

Quite possibly the best deal in the sale applies to the two-pack of mini LED GearLight flashlights. The set falls to just $11 with the $5 clip coupon and our code. To stack both savings, be sure to add it to your cart from this landing page and then clip the coupon in your cart. Our code, 20CNETGEAR, will then be auto-applied at checkout for a total of $9 off. These are powerful 1,000-lumen lights that accept AAA batteries and feature hand straps. They're 6.1 inches long and can be easily carried around.

Similarly, the two-pack of GearLight headlamps is available for $11, $9 off, when you follow the same instructions. These are ideal for runners, dog walkers, DIYers and more, and each features a pivotable lamp with seven different lighting modes.

Also on sale is the 1,200-lumen GearLight S2000, down to $20 with our code. It has three zoom modes so you can focus light where you need it most. Or, for the brightest option in the sale, go for the S2500 -- also $20 with our code -- with its 1,500-lumen rating. Just note that it needs six AA batteries as opposed to the S2000's four AA battery requirement.
