Fairly decent flashlight, 2500 lm, 3 modes + moon/turbo/strobe, diffuser, 21700/5000 mAh, USB-C
This is fairly decent [relatively] high-powered flashlight that's well built and works as expected without issues whatsoever. It claims to have a brightness of 2500 lm and this is actually one of the very few (found here anyway) that actually delivers what it advertises (or at least reasonably close to the claim), that's certainly a point in its favor.≡ AccessoriesIt comes with a Samsung 21700 (4850 mAh, 3.63V) which is great if it's a real Samsung 50G that is. In addition, it also comes with diffuser for, well, whatever you wanna use it for and I have to say it's pretty effective given the circumstance and it's a quick and easy way to turn this into a camping light/lantern of sorts which I do appreciate.✘ A USB-A/C cable is also included and do NOT lose this cable because ordinary USB-C cables might NOT work with this since the USB-C port is in a recessed slot that only a USB-C connector with a rather slim profile can fit, such as the one included with the flashlight so don't lose it.≡ ChargingBtw, it draws about 1.7-1.8A during charging so this can NOT be safely charged via ordinary computer USB ports (USB 2.0 or 3.0) because ordinary USB 3.0 (USB-A) data ports support a maximum of 0.9A only. As such, this should ONLY be charged via dedicated USB chargers that support a minimum of 2A and have a safety certification.≡ Modes/brightness levelsIt has 3 typical modes (low/med/high) along with 3 addition modes (moon, turbo, and strobe). Turbo and strobe modes are common and self-explanatory so no discussion is required, and the moon mode is nothing more than just a mode that's LOWER than the low mode (less than half) and that's all there isThe usual 3 modes can be selected and cycled through via a single press of the power button while the flashlight is OFF (nothing fancy here) while the turbo and strobe modes can be access via a double- and triple-press of the power button, respectively. The moon mode can only be activated by PRESSING and HOLDING the power button while the flashlight is OFF. Press and hold the button while it's ON will turn it OFF instead.Once the MOON mode is activated, press and hold button will gradually increase the brightness until it reaches the maximum brightness (signified by 2x rapid flashes) or gradually decrease the brightness until it reaches the lowest (moon) brightness (again, 2x rapid flashes) if it's already at the max brightness.✘ I should also mention that just about ALL flashlights that I've come across here and reviewed which is around several dozen at the moment, an overwhelming vast majority (with the exception of REAL well-known brands) of these flashlight (tactical or otherwise which is purely just a marketing scheme) have fake or outrageously overinflated nonsense brightness ranging from thousands of lumens all the way to 100K or even 120K.A rough estimate based on my experience so far is that the inflation ratio can be as low as 2-4 times all the way to around 25-30 times (there are worse offenders actually but those are the minority). Luckily, this one is NOT one of those and I'm just glad that honesty isn't completely lost here.###Btw, it does remember the last brightness level used (from one of the common 3 modes) so that's nice. It also doesn't get terribly hot that some others do (which could certainly cause injuries if not handled properly) so that's (again) a point in its favor. Though, it does get rather warm especially after prolonged use so just keep that in mind although that's typical of many, if not all, others as well so the heat issue isn't unique to this particular flashlight.≡ ValueAll things considered, this is a fairly decent [relatively] high-powered flashlight that's well-constructed and works as expected without issues whatsoever (which is rare). It has addition modes that many others don't and the diffuser works surprisingly well given the circumstance. It's somewhat reasonably priced at $55 for what it provides and its overall build quality, features, versatility, and performance.

Very far beam!
This is a unique light in two ways: the button function and the long-distance focused beam. It is too bright for most close-up use; it is designed for maximizing sight very far in the distance.I like the two-way clip. It goes on easily both ways. Nice and deep clip.I like the many small ridges on the grip. Pleasant tactility, with good heat distribution. Front gets hot on high mode, not the grip.This is my pocket animal spotter. It was a perfect car light for when I see a fox or a coyote from the road at night. The problem is the lithium battery gets too cold to be left in the car during the winter. It just won’t work until warmed up. The rest of the year, it’s an excellent tool for the car or the trail. Many lights can be used for general seeing at night, but even my larger, more powerful lights do not shine as far as this.Very impressive distance.What I find challenging is learning the button presses and holds. It has many features that are accessed via the single button. Taps, multi-taps, holds, combinations of those in a particular order… it’s not all intuitive. I can operate the on/off and change the brightness, but it does even more according to the booklet. Sometimes the button does not behave as I expect and I have to remove the battery to reset. So that’s probably user error, but it’s tricky for a flashlight.Still worth it for the niche specialty. Shines with impressive brightness to impressive distance, especially for its size.

extremely well built, amazing battery, not crazy about the shape.
This is hands down the most well-built compact flashlight I have used in this price range, full stop. All metal, very good components, everything is super tight! No rattling, and it's got very good weight to it. Functionality is amazing, not too much, not too little! I just can't get over the shape!This is an excellent little flashlight! I can't get over how nicely built it is! It even includes a Samsung 18650! The O-rings on this thing seat and seal so well, plus it comes with extra O-rings in the box!! There is no doubt in my mind that you could take this light factory scuba diving!The light spread is pretty good; it's not crazy bright, but it gets the job done. It shines more than far enough for a brisk winter night hike! It even comes with this little silicone hat diffuser thing so you could use it as a little lantern in your tent!My favorite feature that this light has is moonlight mode. Basically, you hold the power button down, and the lamp will turn on in its lowest brightness setting. You then hold down the button again, and it will gradually get brighter. Once it reaches your desired brightness, just let go of the button, and it will just stay there! Once it reaches the brightest, it will blink; you can then repeat the process to go back down to the dimmest! This is a great feature for those of us who are looking for a flashlight that gives the "Goldilocks" brightness setting ;)The one issue I have is the shape. It's a semi-compact, so it's a small pocketable flashlight with a pocket clip, yet it has this lens that protrudes sideways, sort of like a mushroom. This effectively makes the light very uncomfortable in the pocket. I don't know enough about optics to know if this lens shape improves or optimizes the spread, but I have plenty of flashlights that are just one consistent diameter that offer a similar pattern. This is a bit of a letdown because I absolutely love everything about this light and could even see myself EDCing it, but the fact that it's not pocketable will probably keep this light off my "go-to" list.That said, with the infinitely variable brightness setting and the little diffuser hat, the long battery life, and decent one-size-fits-all spread, this is a perfect camping flashlight!Amazing flashlight, strongly recommend, just make sure you have a spot for it in your backpack because you won't want it in your pocket.

Handy light with good features and nice build quality
This is a nice quality palm-sized flashlight that is small enough to carry easily but not too large to be able to be stored in a bag or backpack. Generally it checks all the boxes for a flashlight at this price point - 3 main modes plus a "moonlight" mode and a "turbo" mode. Activating the various modes is fairly standard - if you have operated a multi-function LED light in the last few years you'll figure this one out easily. Press and hold for 0.5 second to turn on and then press again to cycle through low, medium, high. You could be fine with just that, but wait... there's more. From the off position, press and hold for about 2 seconds and you will enter "moonlight" mode, which is very dim and perfect for looking through a bag or camp box in the dark when you don't want to blast your night vision. (not as good as a red light however). Double-click from the off position and enter "turbo" mode where you will get a very bright blast that will drain the battery very quickly (and heat up the lens body). You can also long-press from moonlight mode to go into a "variable" light intensity that will gradually brighten until it hits "high" then will double-blink and stop, indicating that it is at its brightest. Long-press and it will reverse until it is dim again. You can stop anywhere in between to get the brightness just where you want it in case the 4 existing modes don't do it for you. (yea, unnecessary, really. But easy to ignore since the basic operation is so simple).Bottom line it has all the features with a pretty good light pattern at a reasonable price for its quality. The beam pattern has a sharp hot spot in the center that projects like a pencil beam, so they include a silicone diffuser for using up close. This is one of the things I don't really like about this light. I know I'm going to lose that diffuser very quickly and without it this flashlight is not very optimal for close-up work. It is more for lighting up a specific object at a distance of more than a couple of meters. Thats my overall take.

Really impressed
I’ve never had a tactical flashlight before this one, so I’m quite impressed with this product. Being able to select different levels of brightness means is very helpful. You don’t always need a super bright light. The diffuser is very cool, and this is the first time I’ve seen one of these. The strobe light is good to have for emergencies. This flashlight is built tough but isn’t heavy, which is another great feature.The thing I like best is that the battery is rechargeable! I think of all the batteries I’ve used over the years in flashlights and lanterns and all the times the batteries were dead when I ended up needing said flashlight or lantern. The battery is long lasting, but you’re never going to have to go buy expensive batteries again for this flashlight. That thrills me to no end.This flashlight is the kind of thing every home could use, and it would be very helpful to have one in the car for emergencies, too. This would make a great gift. This flashlight is a reliable tool that will be there when you need it, so I think it’s a great value for all you get.
