This rechargeable flashlight is literally a lifesaver when I walk my dog at night. I can also set it down and the handle lights up so I can see what I’m doing especially when picking up her business. I highly recommend. And a super plus is that I never have to worry about batteries going dead. I’m buying another one to keep in my car and will always be charging there. Read more
I ordered this "Ultra-Bright" flashlight at the $20 price point. Well, it is bright, but I would not say ultra bright. You can see that there is no reference to lumens in the advertisement. I don't know where the picture comes from in the ad with a man lighting up an entire forest with the flashlight, because this flashlight could not do that. At any rate, there are some good features. It is easy to turn on and off, with a large, obvious button. It works well as a lamp, with different settings of high, low, and blinking. The battery charge lasts a long time, and it charges with a USB-C cable (so you don't need to worry about batteries or a proprietary cable), and it the flashlight is light, so it would be good for a camping trip if you are not trying to light up the whole forest. It is solidly made, and a knock or two would not cause it to stop working. I think it may be a bit over priced, but if you are intending it for Read more
I recently bought this flashlight and I’m very happy with it. The light is bright and easy to use. I like that it can stand up like a lantern, which is great for camping or power outages. It’s also very lightweight and the USB-C charging is very convenient. Read more

The media could not be loaded. Generic] 3-in-1 Flashlight: Front Beam, Standing Camp Lantern & Emergency Strobe, USB-C Rechargeable—We live on a street with no streetlights and widely spaced houses. At night, it's dark! On moonless nights, it's really dark. Flashlights are essential. We have a number of the small, super-bright LED ones and they're great. But, I liked the idea of one that is easier to work the controls on, because the little "military-style" ones require remembering how to press and hold, etc. to turn the light down, which my husband never does and is always blinding me, lol. Plus, having one that's a little bigger and not black will be useful in the car, being less prone to disappearing in the dark. This "generic" flashlight is plenty bright. The distance LED shines a wide circle of white light with an extra-bright small central circle. The larger circle will help illuminate the surroundings and the small one to focus on something at a distance. We have a fancier flashlight that I think must have the same chip, except it's programmed to allow you to focus and expand the width of the beam. I would have liked that on this flashlight, too, but I get that that would make it less "simple" to operate. The standing "camp lantern" is a light in the handle that casts a pretty good amount of light 360º around the light. It would be useful to light up a small room or area in power outages (or tents, as suggested in the product info). This light has three light intensity levels and a strobe function, each accessed by pressing the power switch in quick succession. If you pause for a beat after pressing the button, the next press with just turn the light off. See my video for a demo. It is nicely lightweight, and a comfortable size to hold. The battery is rechargeable using a USB-C port (USB-A to USB-C cable included). The charging port has a rubber cover, so the flashlight may be somewhat water resistance, although I don't see an IPX rating (this one didn't come with any instructions–I hope they add some for paying customers). It claims a 21,700-4,000 mAh battery capacity, which isn't bad and should allow several hours of use. This is a practical flashlight that will be handy around the house and car. The combination of forward focused beam and standing ambient light makes it particularly helpful for power outages. You do have to remember to keep it charged, though, because unlike old-style battery powered flashlights you can't just add fresh batteries if it's dead when you need it. Read more
Living in the southeastern US, we have to deal with hurricanes and tropical storms and the normal tropical force storms that we get. While the power grid is a great deal more stable in my rural area, we still need supplies for when we don't have power. Relying on batteries is not good. Yes, those are a good backup for rechargeable batteries. This flashlight is rechargeable and holds a charge for much, much longer. I like the simple operation and the flexible points of light. This flashlight is great for accessibility. You just press the button to cycle through the standard flashlight function, then the high lantern, low lantern, and flashing emergency beacon, then off. The handle is easy to hold and the charging port is easy to use. This is a much lighter weight option for a powerful flashlight/lantern. While this isn't waterproof, it is perfect for a hurricane kit. Make sure to check the charge on all of your devices in your box, but this will hold a solid charge for a long time. Because the handle is more oval shaped, it also slips nicely down into a backpack or bag or water bottle holder. The square head means it is very stable as a lantern. This is a fantastic flashlight for anyone in any home. Read more
This light is VERY limited and not something most people would find very useful. The flashlight beam is small and focused (maybe a foot spot at 10 foot distance) and can't be adjusted. The lantern function shines all around but also isn't very bright at any distance. Most lanterns have caps or projectors so the light disperses better but this one just blinds you. The color temperature is very cold. Probably the greatest weakness is that it can only be charged by cord--and rather slowly. It took about 6 hours to completely discharge this but then it took about an hour and a half to recharge with the only method, a low-power USB-C cord. I know some people hate batteries, but I think all flashlights should have swappable batteries--rechargeable or otherwise for emergencies. At $20, there are much better multi-function lights available. I don't see an easy way to disassemble so eventual battery recycling will require destruction--or it'll just get thrown in the trash.
