Flashlights are indispensable in my household. We use them for everything from camping trips to power outages. They’re also handy for certain jobs around the house where we might be working in dim or tight corners where a little extra light is helpful.
I like to keep multiple flashlights and lanterns of different designs stashed among our camping and / or emergency gear in the basement, so everyone in the family can have their own light when needed. Most of our flashlights and lanterns come from Aldi, including a 200 lumen LED flashlight, a 300 lumen LED flashlight, a 160 lumen LED flashlight, and a pop up lantern set.
The most recent flashlight to show up at Aldi is a little different. Instead of operating using traditional batteries, this one is rechargeable and comes with a USB cable for charging.
What We Know:
The Easy Home Rechargeable LED Flashlight (Product Code: 825225) is an Aldi Find, so it’s only in stores for a short time. Each store gets one shipment, and after that sells out, it’s gone unless Aldi decides to bring it back at some later point. Aldi does not offer online ordering for products not currently in stock at your local store.
The flashlight is scheduled to arrive in Aldi stores on either September 24th or September 27th of 2023, depending on whether your local store sets out new specials on Sundays or Wednesdays. I’m not sure Aldi planned it this way, but this flashlight is arriving just in time if you want to pick up something to light your way while trick or treating on Halloween.
The Easy Home Rechargeable LED Flashlight cost $9.99 at the time of publication. That’s on the lower end of prices compared to other rechargeable flashlights on Amazon.
Aldi previously sold the rechargeable flashlight in 2020 for the same price of $9.99, and it came with a one-year warranty. We don’t yet know if the 2023 model has a warranty.
Here’s more information about the 2023 flashlight, according to Aldi:
- Features three brightness functions: 100%, 30%, and SOS
- Operating time approximately 3 hours at 100%
This appears to come with a USB cable, and the flashlight has an attached strap for carrying or hooking it to things.
The Easy Home brand is not a company. Instead, it’s the private label Aldi uses for various home goods such as spray mops, portable LED air coolers, mini dehumidifiers, and more.
What We Don’t Know:
We haven’t purchased this flashlight, so we don’t know how well it works, how bright it is, or how durable it is. We write open threads so readers can talk about Aldi products.

I love this flashlight so much I bought 6 of them. Great size and it feels like a quality product. Really bright and the fact you can charge your phone or other device from it is a real bonus!
Thanks for the info!
Recharged one time then will not recharge again. Tried different cables, adapters etc and nothing. Bringing it back to the store .
Your not the only one mine has done the same thing it charged once and now won’t recharge again
I’m trying to figure out how to properly charge it. It flashes at the charger port but I don’t know if that means it’s fully charged or charging. I’ll leave it over night but it would be nice to know weather or not I can use it tonight. :>{
Sticker on mine says use 1amp charger so that’s typically only the older cell phone chargers not the quick charge 1.5a-2a chargers you get with phones nowadays. It takes a while to charge and the blue light will blink for quite some time utntil light stays in steady.
It flashes red until it is charged then it will stay red ( no flashing) when it is fully charged.
Experiencing same issue; not able to recharge! $9.99 down the drain.
I bought two of these flashlights. They worked great approximately five times. One quit working last week and the other one quit tonight. I hope Aldi will take them back.
I have one of the first run ones and it’s by far the best little flashlight that I have ever owned if I can find more I will definitely buy more than one
My IP20 flashlight works as advertised and recharges just fine.
my wife bought the flashlight for a present to me and by the time i used the light and recharged it for the first the store was totaly sold out. i cannot find “ip20” anywhere. it is awesome and very strong light and construction.
