5.0 out of 5 stars It's bright!!!!! Would recommend
I wasn't really sure what to expect as I was sceptical about so many torches claiming to throw out 200k lumens. Still not convinced but wow it is bright! I was impressed with the protective case, battery was nearly fully charged, spare set of batteries and keyring torch was a nice touch. The torch is as described, the different functions work well and the extendable focus serves as a searchlight to light up the sky. Really impressed, I shone the searchlight at some tall trees a few houses away and they were lit up clearly. Excellent torch. Size isn't huge and not heavy but is robust. I would recommend. I paid £22 on Bolo.
5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding super bright and robust torch
Now I've been using it for a while, the weak point is the switch. It needs a continuous press for about 2 seconds to turn off, but switches on with a quick press. Because the switch stands proud, it's easy to turn on inadvertently. I've taken it out of a jacket pocket and found it's been on while it's been in there. Also, the switch has no memory, and unlike others, doesn't turn on again to the last brightness setting it was used at.I've had a torch with a Cree LED for 3 years now and I've been very impressed with it. This is a big improvement. My old one is 1200 lumens, this is much brighter, with a wide and even light spread without zooming it in. The rechargeable battery lasts much longer, I've used it for 45 minutes the first morning on maximum brightness, walking through pitch black woods with my dog. The battery can be charged without removing it, unlike my older one. It also has a USB out port beside the charging port for using the (5000 mAh) battery as a power bank. It works, I've tried it, but if you're the sort of person who needs to recharge a phone on a remote hillside, then you probably weren't looking for one of these anyway. The 5 mode press button switch is fairly standard, and has a positive feel. It's a bit bigger than my older one, but still fits in a jacket pocket OK, if a bit bulky for my trouser pocket. I've also tested the drop resistance, although I hadn't intended to! It was still shining brightly so I could find it when I found somewhere it was possible to scramble down the bank and walk back along the river bank to find it. Water resistance is good enough to run it under the tap when I got home and rinsed the mud off.Overall, an excellent bit of kit, well made, robust and thoroughly recommended.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very good.
I wanted a decent hand held torch as i had seen the ‘50 000 lumen’ examples which seemed a bit over the top, bulky and probably don’t last long. This is a very competent torch. If you need a wide area covered it’s good for around 80-100 feet. And it’s bright. As you narrow the beam with the adjustable focus, it just goes on for ages, like a very powerful spotlight. It’s reassuringly heavy and feels durable, well engineered and well made. Unlike the ‘mega’ torches, it will fit comfortably in your coat pocket.I charged it up and left it to drain and it ran for about two hours. It maintained its brightness pretty much until it went flat. With the regular battery back up option in the form of a simple double AA cylinder, you're good to go if the rechargeable unit goes flat.Also comes in a very secure case.This would suit all users, hunters foxing, house owners covering emergencies, sailors spotting buoys, campers and caravanners doing the late night dog walk, and preppers alike. It’s going in the tool box. Can’t fault it. Hope that helps.
4.0 out of 5 stars Quick turn off
1) There are five modes, ie, high, medium, low beam, strobe and SOS. I can't find this in the instructions anywhere, but you don't have to sift through all the modes to turn the torch off. For example, if you are on medium, just hold the on/off button down for a couple of seconds and the torch will turn off.2) Use the main rechargeable battery. The three AAAs are only for a back-up and the torch will get hot if you put these in, as they are not used to carrying such a high current. The torch wall stays cold to touch when the rechargeable battery is inserted.3) The small metal ring for attaching the wrist strap is not strong. You could lose the strap. I took the larger, stronger ring off the mini light, threaded the wrist strap through it and threaded the larger ring through the black metal ridge on the end of the torch. I also attached it by the oyster clasp.4) The torch itself has a very bright beam, both outside in the dark and enough to light any room in a power cut. There are some very specific instructions in the enclosed booklet about storage of the rechargeable battery when not in use, ie, charge it fully, take it out when the torch is not in use.5) The Bolo listing is incredibly unclear in the listing as it states that this torch is 500,000 lumens. Yeah, right! A 200,000 lumens whites out a football stadium. The Lumitact website states that this torch is 'up to 15,000 lumens'. Not much different! Batteries aren't sold on the Lumitact site but the battery has its specifications written on it. Bolo sell replacements.6) It's not very heavy (it might be for an elderly person or someone with no strength or grip in their fingers). The on/off button is easy to access and my elderly mother could turn it on/off but it took an effort. Still, it's far better than a lot of other torches.7) All said, it's a good torch for outside, to have in the car and the SOS is a nice touch.
