A very versatile, comfortable, and well made EDC light!!
This light is surprisingly effective and durable! As soon as I got it out of the package I was pleasantly surprised by the weight and feel. It’s all metal in design. The clip is actually functional - it’s firm and clips onto a belt with ease and STAYS there. It fits comfortably in the hand and the buttons are in a good spot to use. There’s a magnetic base on the end that is strong enough to hold it perpendicular to the ground without it falling or sliding down. The power buttons are rubberized and tactile. You can feel it click when you turn it on. They aren’t too easy or difficult to press. I would say they’re a bit close though and if you’re wearing thick gloves it would be easier to accidentally press the wrong one. The area/side light is - wow. Very, very bright. Initially. It starts noticeably reducing the brightness after a moment due to the rapid heat from the light output. The metal casing will get slightly warm while it’s at full brightness but not ever too hot to touch on the lense or area round it. After about 2-3 minutes it’s reduced to a sustainable light level it can stay at and dissipate heat. I’d say that light level is still around 300 lumens - plenty for most tasks. It has four brightness settings. The main flashlight on the end is also very bright. Not quite as bright as the area/sidelight but it will project better. It’s a wide angle/floodlight as well - not so much a distance covering spotlight reflection this light. It has three brightness settings. At its max brightness the lense itself becomes very hot, too hot to touch. The black button controls the main light on the end and the area light on the side. Once you set it to the light and brightness that you want and leave it for a few seconds - pressing it again will turn it off and thereafter it will go back to that same light and brightness setting when you turn the light back on later. I like that memory function. The orange button controls the extra/misc lights. On the end there is a black/UV light. It does pretty good and is moderately bright. There is also your standard red laser for pointing things out or playing with the cats. Pressing it a third time will bring up the red lighting on the side for map/low light level reading. I think this red light is a bit brighter than it should be. It’s pretty bright and if you were using it to read maps or otherwise prevent your eyes night vision from being affected - I would place it a couple feet from whatever you’re using it for. The final and fourth function is a strobing and alternating red/blue/purple that is meant for emergency/roadside purposes. The strobe is also very bright and will definitely get folks attention. I’m not a fan of the lights being blue or red and flashing. That blue/red flash will get you in trouble (in Florida at least) if used around or inside a motor vehicle. If they had just made it amber instead of blue it would have worked for that use case. On the other side is a rubber cap for the USB C port and behind that are four LED’s that give you the charge remaining. Overall this light is pretty ideal and versatile as an EDC light if you actually use them and can justify its slightly larger form factor and weight. I can see this light being perfect for someone who does inspections/permitting or any outdoor nighttime work. It would also be a great light to keep in the car as an emergency light if you need to work on something or change a tire. At its current price of around $22 I think this light is an outstanding value for the cost. love flashlights and have had lots of EDC brands and models. For the price/value - this one is in my top five. You can’t go wrong with it. Read more
